    JUGABILIDAD:
    Pocas veces en mi vida había jugado algo tan repetitivo. Y sí, tengo que empezar por ahí porque eso casi arruina toda mi experiencia de juego.

    El sistema de combate se siente poco trabajado, incluso tras aprender movimientos nuevos. Se echa en falta una barra de salud para los enemigos, especialmente los Bosses a los que nos enfrentamos (aunque, los combates son tan repetitivos que nos aprendemos de memoria el número de golpes necesarios para derribar a cada enemigo).

    El columpiarse por la ciudad puede verse espectacular (claramente, los desarrolladores se centraron en brindar una jugabilidad consistente en pasearse por la ciudad la mayor parte del tiempo), pero jugablemente deja mucho que desear. Me parece que pudo haberse pulido mejor, además, el hecho de que no puedas morir ni dejándote caer desde el punto más alto de la ciudad hace que tenga poco sentido el controlar la técnica. No hay riesgos que prevenir, ni maniobras que dominar.

    La campaña se siente más bien insulsa, y el contenido “canon” se queda muy corto al compararlo con todo lo secundario. Y es que ni siquiera hablamos de misiones secundarias, estamos hablando meramente de coleccionables. No es que haya mucho que hacer, es que hay que hacer lo mismo DECENAS de veces.

    Los mini juegos en el laboratorio pueden ser divertidos, pero no dejan de ser demasiado sencillos. Recuerdan a esos clásicos minijuegos que podían encontrarse en web browsers.

    Así mismo, los coleccionables pueden entretener al principio y, a diferencia de juegos como Uncharted 4 donde no sirven para nada, es un gran acierto que le dieran valor a las “fichas” para animarnos a buscarlos, Pero pasadas un par de horas, tiene la misma desventaja que la gran mayoría de los juegos Mundo Abierto, y es que llega un punto en que es repetitivo sin importar el tipo de misión que estemos completando.
    La variedad de los trajes es buena y, aunque no aporta nada a la jugabilidad, sí que aporta un cambio placentero al juego.

    No todo es malo: el juego sí que es entretenido, sobre todo en periodos cortos, para evitar la redundancia. Además de contar con varios puntos de climax, por ejemplo...

    La última misión es "Cinematic Artistry": las tomas, la gama de colores, la música, la actuación de voz, los diálogos, las cinemáticas. El enfoque es perfecto. Respecto delas secundarias, “Famosa En Internet” es bastante buena, mas que nada por el concepto.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Los modelados en la rostros de los personajes son más bien regulares... al menos los de la mayoría, porque por alguna extraña razón, la animación facial del Doctor Octopus es buenísima. Calidad de película live action, lo raro es que sólo sea la suya...

    No obstante, aquí lo que enamora es el diseño de la ciudad: el estilo realista está bien logrado, la gama de colores usada y el trabajo de iluminación hacen que New York luzca en todo su esplendor. Y recorrerla, especialmente de noche, es un deleite

    Respecto a la narrativa y calidad de las cinemáticas, como digno first party de Sony, es increíble... siempre que no haya rostros en ellas.

    SONIDO:
    Las piezas son muy adictivas, todo el tiempo creando ese ambiente heroico/emocionante. Y esa canción tema... uff. Es tan buena que dejará de importar que suene tantas veces a lo largo del gameplay.

    Los diálogos, y el trabajo de doblaje (Harry Potter, Sasuke, etc.) son muy buenos, y se agradecen las cortas bromas o chistes que se le ocurren tanto al protagonista (incluso a media pelea), como a otros personajes secundarios. Audiovisualmente el juego está en su punto.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Es un Second Son con mejores gráficos... aunque incluso Second Son tiene una mayor interacción con el entorno.    … Expand

    This is a good enough game for me. It plays well and its fun, but its the SAME game as Spiderman 2. Nothing new here. It has a good story with a touching ending, but the game is just another one in this Open World Spiderman games that came decades ago.

    Spider-Man! One of the biggest PS exclusives of 2018 and I finally completed it! Overall, I rather enjoyed the game but didn't seem to have the burning passion that most people did for the game. I'll tackle the combat first.

    Combat: This is one of the portions of the game that really shine. The combat is fast, frantic and friggin' beautiful! To compare it to the Arkham games is unfair, it's like comparing Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, two games that are in the same genre but handle it entirely different. Where Batman, wants to make you feel every individual punch you pull on an enemy, Spider-Man focuses on having you zoom around the battlefield and slam your opponent from every angle.

    Story: The game has a really enjoyable plot filled with twists, turns, and intrigue. It gets reasonably emotional towards the end and that is where it feels like the writers are at their absolute best. The only problems I had were that the overall pace and interest of the story really dipped at the halfway mark and majority of the second act felt like a slog to play through when compared to the opening and closing segments.

    Gameplay: This is where the game gets a bit mixed for me. The overall game will last about 15-20 hours for normal players (30-35 for platnium players). The game is filled with a plethora of somewhat boring collectibles, with the backpacks being great and everything else being meh. The game's side missions almost all suck with at least one downright terrible one (the streamer one) and the open world mostly feels lifeless and becomes boring to explore quickly. Thankfully, the web-slinging system is so amazing it *almost* makes up for it. There are also these segments where you get to play as other characters important to the plot and they are often boring to play through, which hurts my willingness to replay it.

    Characters: Every main character is genuinely interesting and most of them have some sort of tragedy. Mary-Jane has some slightly annoying moments but she is never unbearable. The only character I feel more mixed towards is Peter. His growth as a character and his overall story line is great and all, but his damn quipping can get so freaking annoying. This is the same problem that Insomniac's previous game, the terribly underrated Sunset Overdrive, had. The game makes too many jokes and most of them don't land for me. But, comedy is subjective I guess.

    Downloadable Content: Don't bother spending your money on it. Most of the missions are sub-par along with the suits. But, if you really need a fix for more of the plot, then you may get your money's worth.

    Overall Verdict: Game's highly enjoyable, but after obtaining the platinum, I can't find a reason for me to want to return to the game outside of playing the story sometime again in the future. The story deserves a full playthrough but the side content is only worth doing once for the trophies.

The main story is interesting and has lots of good set pieces but is generally pretty superficial which is probably to be expected from a comic book superhero game. The way the city changes throughout the story is excellent though. The stealth missions can get a bit tiresome by the end but i generally enjoyed my time with the main story. The side missions are a different story. They are mostly short, uninteresting and involve similar repetitive tasks. Some try to mix things up but its clear that they simply didn't receive their fair share of developer time. As with nearly all modern open world games there is the standard radio tower climbing, endless collectables and repetitive randomised events but these are generally inoffensive.

    Overall, it's an enjoyable but somewhat forgettable game that doesn't overstay its' welcome. It has nothing to 'say' and doesn't push any boundaries but is generally fun and well worth playing.    … Expand

    Although it is not up to Batman of Rocksteady, this game remains a very good game of superheroes but unfortunately with its share of faults. The story is good, the gameplay very good, but the activities are very classic and repetitive, the camera is not precise and certain dialogues recall the writing of a Disney Channel series. But hey, a very good game for 20 or 30 $

La historia es una de las mejores del hombre araña fuera de los comics y funciona. El problema de este juego es la repetición constante de los mismos eventos secundarios sin apenas variedad, donde el combate se transforma en un machaca botones y donde el sigilo que otras sagas como Arkham han perfeccionado esta lo deja en el olvido. Hay un par de personajes demasiado odiables y que no hacen nada mas que entorpecer la trama o alargarla y que arruinan gran parte de la experiencia. Las misiones principales son lo suficientemente variadas como para aplaudir al equipo por su trabajo pero me quedo con ganas de haber jugado a un juego mucho más refinado en cuanto a las secundarias. Los DLC agregan un par de enemigos que aumentan la dificultad pero que contienen los mismos elementos de repetición hasta el hartazgo. Esperemos que el próximo juego pueda mejorar sus fallos para ser mucho mejor de lo que es, porque es un juego divertido que tiene mucha potencial, especialmente si nos fijamos en el mundo de Spider-man y todos sus personajes.… Expand

    Graphics / Sound / Atmosphere.: The game looks great. The animation too. Sometimes I just found myself swinging through the town without doing anything as I was just amazed by the smooth animations. Can't tell much regarding the sound unfortunately. It was really unobtrusive.

    Gameplay.: You could argue that this is just a clone of arkham. But well, it doesn't need to be new to be good. It really made a lot of fun. The are so many options due to the large amount of abilities and tools in how to actually fight. The suits also had different abilities. I also didn't expect that you have the option in most cases to just sneak around enemies und knock them out with your webs. The gameplay simply put never got boring until the end to me. One negative point: The side missions can get really boring after a while. I would have actually preferred less of them that are more interesting.

    Conclusion.: All in all spider man is a really fun time from start to finish. The story was sometimes dull but the finale was still great. It's carried anyway by the fluid gameplay. It was nothing new but enjoyable enough.

    However, my biggest gripe with the game is usability. To perfectly dodge, you have to time your dodge with when Spidey's aura around his head turns blue. However, late game and into the DLC the difficulty is ramped up by throwing more and more enemies at you in many waves. But, it also becomes more and more visually chaotic, making it almost impossible to see that blue glow amongst the plethora of rockets, explosions, lasers, electrified ground, etc. meanwhile you're coordinating your own attacks on a room full of enemies. Deaths at this point in the game feel cheap. I got frustrated to the point of deleting the game halfway through the second DLC and watched the rest of the story on YouTube.    … Expand

    There are myriad good reasons why Marvel's Spider-Man is the best-selling and highest-rated Spider-Man title in years. While it has a few glaring flaws, they pale in comparison to all of the things the team at Insomniac got right. A well-acted, strong story serves as the backbone for an experience that just plain feels right for Spider-Man, and fans and newcomers alike won't be disappointed by this trip to the Spider-verse.

    This game does for Spider-Man what the Arkham series did for Batman. Immensely satisfying movement system, excellent combat, fast pace, superb visuals and wealth of side activities converge to bring a wonderful experienced, diluted only by some minor missteps in the story and a couple of stealth sequences where you control supporting characters instead of Spidey.
