    I've been wanting to play this game for a while and overall, this is one of the best games I've played on PS4! The gameplay is one of the best things about the game and the experience I had, it was one of the best! The game is my 2nd favorite of all-time!

I'm personally not the biggest Spider-Man fan as I get easily annoyed by tropey jokes (which is kinda the modern Marvel way i feel). I grew up with the first Spider-Man trilogy, though, and absolutely loved it. I also enjoyed the Amazing Spider-Man, although I couldn't get warm with the newest iteration. This game however more or less does its own thing. Of course, there are your classic villains, but it takes place a few years after the origin-story, so we have a slightly more experienced vigilante to deal with.

    The Good:

    - Graphics. I wasn't too impressed when I just looked at screenshots or heard people say how detailed the world is. But having played it myself, I wholeheartedly agree. Quite impressive what they've managed to pull off on the PS4 (I played on Pro), especially considering the size of the world.

    - Story. While there are flaws and the dialogue was often rather weak (especially with the villains), the overall story doesn't have to hide from its movie-counterparts. While character intentions where often questionable, if not downright stupid, it wasn't really distracting and there were enough things going on in parallel for me to not get bored.

    - the Swing. The swinging is really that good that it deserves to be praised on its own. You have a short array of options how to traverse through the air and once you've gotten used to it, you'll really feel like Spider-Man. You'll want to stay off the streets for as long as possible anyway, for following reasons.

    The Meh:

    - Combat and Spider-Man on the ground. While the similarities to the Arkham-series are uncanny, the combat felt way more fleshed out imo. While you basically have to follow button-prompts with Batman and chain a few to get certain moves most of the time, Spider-Man seems to have much more control over what tools he's got on hand. The fluidity also doesn't feel as floaty as Batman's and movement seems more natural. There are downsides to it, however. The dodge was VERY inconsistent and button-inputs seemed to get ignored a little too often. Spider-Man is also much too slow when walking and basically took a nap after every dodge, creating rather unfair situations at times. It also doesn't help that he gets stuck in geometry very often, making dodge-attempts completely useless, even if it's just a water-hydrant or a car (he should definitely be able to jump those, no?).

    The Bad:

    - The opening Mission (Tutorial). Probably among the worst I've seen from games like this. The combat system really needs getting used to, so having a mission to train is much needed. The mission itself was not great, however. For someone who just started the game for the first time, the mission-objectives where sometimes not clear at all (those turrets still make me angry) and the boss-fight was too hard at that stage. It starts off the story in a nice way, but I bet many players got turned off immediately when they first tried it. For this reason, I would honestly never recommend the game to anyone who rarely plays video-games or never dove into the genre before (Arkham would be a better fit, probably)

    Also: easy plat :)    … Expand

    For me one of the ugliest spider-man games. Being an exclusive I expected a big step forward for stroria and gameplay. The story is full of hasty things and also very obvious, The gameplay takes up both from the batman series and from the old spider-man games (such as the amazing and shattered dimensions) making it a fairly disappointing game. (I'm sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian)

Нет адекватной системы фиксации камеры на противнике, поэтому зачастую, Паркер делает вовсе не то, что ты планировал, особенно это касается бросков предметов.

    - Полеты на паутине. Лично мне не понравились - ты всё время куда-то врезаешься и летишь не так, как планировал.

    - Мэри Джейн. Это просто жесть. Худшая Эм Джэй за всё время саги. И мисси за неё супертупые. Потому как стелс тут очень слабый и у врагов максимально тоннельное зрение. А местами прям доходит до асбурда - у неё нет мотивации заниматься тем, что она делает - это ещё ладно. Но когда она на каблуках быстро топает по кафелю центрального вокзала мимо врага, а он её не видит - это, конечно, швах.

    - Злодею мистера Ли не хватает проработки и мотивации. Он абсолютно пустой получился.

    - Отвратительный стелс. Когда ты подвешиваешь врага чуть выше уровня головы, а остальные враги этого не видят - это вызывает вопросики. Или когда куча бандитов охраняет заложников, а ты отвлекаешь их звоном часов, и они все из-за этого бросают заложников и уходят, отворачиваясь от всех сразу, создаётся ощущение, что NPC тут сильно умственно-отсталые.

    - Примитивные битвы с боссами, построенные на QTE и уклонениях.

    - Отсутствующие побочки. Точнее они есть, но в стиле - залатать дыру в трубе, поймать голубей, собрать анализы воздуха, уничтожить бандитов и уничтожить бандитов.

    - Наличие вышек.

    К сожалению, на поверку оказался достаточно слабым тайтлом.

    Let’s just say this game feels so good to just swing around in. The vibration as you lock in R2 really makes you feel like you’re actually swinging. I bet on PS5, this is much more the case.

    The story and presentation is wonderful, and the game puts you right in the action from the start. The story takes place 8 years after Spider-Man gains his powers and is already used to fighting criminals. The main story is kind of short, but very well paced with interesting villains and lore. Also, this is one of the only games I’ve played where the side content is actually worth doing. It includes side missions, collectibles, and challenges.

    The gameplay is fluid and the gadgets you can upgrade make it a lot more bearable; even on normal you get your ass kicked if you don’t take use of Perfect Dodge and other mechanics. The action is very reminiscent of the Batman Arkham series with an attack button, dodge, and combo meter. While not entirely innovating, the gameplay is satisfying to master and smooth.

    After Platinuming Marvel’s Spider-Man, I can safely say that this is one of the best PS4 exclusive games and a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to jump into Miles Morales!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spider-Man is so much fun to play. Controlling Spider-Man on swinging is hard and very challenging especially on the side quests but you'll get use to it if you play and learn more. The soundtracks is very good. It will give you chills listening to it while playing Spider-Man. The world is not that huge and a lot since it's only on New York city but it's fine though, there are a lot of places to go to and explore to. Side quests might not be that a lot and it's very easy to grind but it's fine and it's fun. The graphics on this game is absolutely amazing especially on PS5, PS4 is quite really good too especially on the cutscenes. On the cutscenes, there are some that are not really that detailed because at the end game, where you need to fight Doctor Octavius, you will wear the classic Advanced Spider-Man suit even if you are not wearing the suit. I hope some games will stick to the player's loadout and they will bring it to the cutscenes instead of the cutscenes that are pre-made. Spider-Man is really fun, some are quiet raging, especially controlling Spider-Man on swinging when it comes to the challenges nor side quests but it's fine and it's really challenging, you just need some practice and getting used to it. Playing Spider-Man is very worth it… Expand

And I got lucky so I got to do it.

    Don't worry though, this is as spoiler free as I could possibly make it.

    Following my normal obsessive compulsive manner, it just wouldn't have been me not to spend many hours glued to the screen in an attempt to 100% the base game's progress and trophy list (to get the coveted platinum); which was successful I might add, just in case any of you were wondering. These countless hours raised many points about the game that are important to share if you're still on the fence as to whether to buy.

    So, first of all, the general conclusion is simply that it's a ridiculously fun game to play. Even on the more challenging difficulty you can still have a blast, even in among the frustration of getting outmatched by swarms of enemies. From the outset of the game you're in headfirst taking on a multitude of enemies and a boss; because who doesn't love a trial by fire.

    The character customization was a big winner in my book.

    You'd be forgiven for thinking, initially, "what on earth can you customize with our beloved friendly neighbour Spider-Man?". But Insomniac have graced us with a multitude of options from different suits, skills, and gadgets; not unlike the later Assassin's Creed games learning skills and progressively making new gadgets throughout the game.

    With that being said there's also an impressive city to scale and explore, and it's clear to see the time and effort that went into it's creation. Buildings galore to climb, swing from, and stick bad guys to. Even the Avengers tower to check out; but you didn't hear that from me.

    The movement and combat mechanics are also worth a great honorable mention in among the pros, only adding to how enjoyable the play-through was. Although a little tricky at first, the web-swinging and parkour become an integral part of normal play; but also something that will explain one of the cons mid game.

    A non-spoiler con, if it can be considered one, is the top level of the Taskmaster challenges.

    We encounter the mercenary Taskmaster on our travels, as a type of side mission, who sets challenges such as disarming bombs, taking out drones, and fighting enemies. In the bomb challenges you gain points for how quickly you can disarm them. It took little time to learn that, no matter how skilled you are with the movement mechanics of the game, for most players achieving the ultimate tier isn't only difficult, but unnecessarily unattainable. Upon researching the issue I discovered this was something that many people voiced, some of whom were named pro gamers.

    Not going to lie; it made me feel better knowing that it wasn't just me. This only became a serious inconvenience when trophy hunting for all the suits, because if you can't get tokens to unlock the suits it will require an almost entire second play-through of the game to unlock them, saving all the tokens for them alone; the downfall of not having a New Game + mode was prominently highlighted in this instance.

    Another one of the few cons that the collective gaming community cited, that I too discovered early on, was the delay in response time for dodging attacks.

    We all know how important it is to get timing right in a lot of games. Especially when it costs you health. But when you can't make that dodge when you need to, and more so against a boss, things can get a tad tricky.

    All in all though, despite a few minor issues that went on the cons list, if you haven't played this game you're missing out. If you're looking for an attainable 100% completion of a game, or just something fun to play Spider-Man is up high on that list. And I am certainly looking forward to seeing what Insomniac have in store for us with the upcoming DLC.    … Expand

    The game has a great story, good combat and amazing traversal with the web swinging, The biggest problem it has is that the random crimes can become very repetitive. The side quests are something that I feel could be expanded upon, because they could be finished very fast and it doesn't leave a lot when the main story is over. Overall though, it is a very great game.

    The graphics is very, very well done, the story of the game is good, the gameplay is awesome, and certainly have the best web swing of all spider-man's games.
    But, there's one thing what makes me remove 1 point, Mary Jane's stealth parts during story mode, these parts are boring. But it's still an amazing game, 9/10.

    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.
