    Just a fantastic game with a fantastic story. Well done. I can’t imagine a better play type or way the game is presented!

    This threw me back to the days when I was a kid playing games, but with a be maturity to it that made the story even more compelling.

    Como fã de Homem Aranha, e ainda mais dos jogos da franquia Arkham, não tem jeito de não gostar dessa obra prima.

A única coisa que me decepcionou foi a Insomniac ter cortado partes do jogo para lançar via DLC; até hoje não consegui jogar a obra por inteiro justamente por isso. Recomendo quem for comprar, pegar a versão completa com todas as DLCS, pois pagar quase R$100,00 em conteúdo adicional... ninguém merece.… Expand

    Excelente game, representa muito bem os jogos antigos do cabeça de teia e aprimora as mecânicas, controles com resposta rápida e funcional. Apenas achei as atividades (não missões) repetitivas.

Made by Insomniac, w/ no real big titles to their name, they had their work cut out for them. But it fell flat. Straight away I could tell that they had copied aspects straight out of Infamous, Batman Arkham, and Mordor series but without any of the fun. Spider-Man's system is actually worse & those were made over 10yrs ago! Also, looks like it just brought Amazing Spider-Man 2 to 2018.

    The gameplay, oh boy. Combat is fresh at first but grows stale & button mashing as 20 enemies all attack you at once because they didn't figure out a combat system for 1 or 2 at a time. It's hard to take someone out when you have to continuously dodge bullets, fists & rockets. Originally the game started out as though you’d be able to do combos but you never truly do. Your successful hits just add up to an x-multiplier that gives you a finisher move. The boss battles are some of the worst I’ve experienced; they don’t deserve the name ‘boss’. They are time-based, not health-based. Hit them down this many times, story progresses. Boring, just supposed to do same 2 moves each time. What's the point of all my powers I invested in? Of course they call in goons who proceed to mosh pit you & send rockets into your face. In the end you’re hoping for the bittersweet release from this awful battle that seems never-ending. I couldn't stop dying in one battle with thousands of powers and guns being tossed at me. Put out all four drones, battle was over in 10sec. What? How is that supposed to make you feel powerful? To mix up combat you have to use the different spider gadgets but you have to pull the radial menu open to access them which is disengaging. Not to mention there is next to no tutorial for how to do anything; swinging, how to use the gadgets to their fullest, etc.

    Story-wise it begins well like the gameplay but by 50% in you see no end in sight & are just crying to be done already. You take out Fisk in the first 15mins, leaving a vacuum for all sorts of new villains to fill but oh wait all the powered villains are locked up leaving us with a boring new villain where everyone uses the same sort of ability & his story doesn't make much sense. Not only that but by the 50% mark you send him to jail & have a prison fight where everyone escapes just so we can throw in more villains who are never established in this story. Best parts are with Peter & Doc Octavius but they are few & far between. “I should tell the doc to buy more of those little cheese squares.” Peter is finally a scientist or at least an assistant to Otto but you aren't in the lab very often and when you are you're doing pipe & matching puzzles (you’ll do this a lot!) You think that they’re setting up the story for a sequel to have Doc Ock but oh wait he’s in here too! At the flip of a switch Octavius turns from a caring individual who wants to help people & adores Peter to a raging psychopath. The story even says that the arms would affect a person’s mental state over time, the Doc’s happens in a few story hours. Norman Osbourne is barely a character (he’s mayor?). You see him off in the distance a few times, up close once where he barely seems to remember that you're his son's best friend. Octavius hates him but it's not fleshed out why. MJ’s character is completely wrong from the comics (she’s not Lois Lane). The ending was a complete flop. There was no real weight to it & all the possible emotion that could have been put into it, similar to the Spider-Man 2 movie, was non-existent.

    They do a good job of making sure you don't know how long the real game is (story missions) because you're forced to do cruddy side missions to unlock things. Story missions feel the shortest parts of the game. Times after story missions where Peter goes 'Oh I should make sure the city is okay.' & you're supposed to go do these side crimes aka filler before continuing. 1st DLC is decent, you get Black Cat which is a nice change of pace but the other two are hollow cash-grabs.

    Best part of the story and the game is Jameson’s radio show. His VA is top notch and sounds exactly like JJJ should. The shows are hilarious & the only part of the game I’ll remember for a long time.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the first 50% of the game, it was fun swinging through the city & taking down bad guys with my many abilities & gadgets. But then the story just becomes cluttered with characters & muddled story & I just didn't have as much fun. Usually the battles descended into 'what am I doing?' or 'is the battle over yet?' I certainly don't think it's the greatest game (or even the greatest SM game) ever made. There are many flaws which detract from it & I don't see myself playing it a 2nd time. If you want to play it, buy the GOTY edition on sale. Or if you want better superhero games with amazing story, play Infamous 1&2 and the Batman Arkham series (particularly Origins).    … Expand

    Pretty good. Side missions are good. But one is boring just get there and press triangle but the rest of the side missions was pretty fun. Good graphics. And main story is fun and interesting and the end is good. But you have too swing far away to do the mission and the swinging is good just not for me cause I want action and keep me interesting.

    It's a surprisingly good and enjoyable game. The best of Batman games packed with more quips and light by the titular character.

    Pros: + The developers use Spider-Man's lore wisely. Spidey's backpacks with memorabilia, a podcast with JJJ, taking photos in NY, Peter being a scientist, NY. It's all mixed up with great love and skill. + Web swinging through Manhattan is done perfectly.    It's a surprisingly good and enjoyable game.

    + Web swinging through Manhattan is done perfectly. The best part of the game.
    + Spider-Man has a perfect villain's gallery. And it shines in this game.
    + Fighting system is borrowed from Batman and still very satisfying.
    + Fighting challenges are engaging.
    + The game has a wonderful pace and doesn't stumble much.
    + Silver Sable is hot af.

    Cons:
    - Half the villain fights are meh.
    - MJ and Miles stealth sections genuinely suck.
    - NY is full of thugs all the time. Which feels weird and unrealistic.
    - The game sometimes feels like an iPhone title. It has very satisfying gameplay loops. Though you can see through the cracks how it was made. I would compare this to a typical Marvel movie. You will not be fooled or really surprised. You will enjoy it, though. It's a comfort food.

    UPD from 2019 to 2021:
    * I finally beat the game 100%. I hated all the repetitive fighting.
    * Then I replayed NG+ on Ultimate. The story is cheesy, the ending is great, I hated stealth less, and the game predicted 1. covid with Devil's Breath in NY and people wearing mask and 2. Navalny's poisoning with Spidey needing atropine to save himself from neurotoxin.    … Expand

    Well worth playing just for the incredible web swinging mechanics. I really feel no other game to date surpasses the fantastic flow of swinging through this beautiful portrait of New York. This great flow combined with the kung-fu quick combat, beautiful scenery, and the fact that there isn't a dull minute, makes it nearly impossible to be bored by Marvel's Spiderman.

    But albeit fun and pretty, this doesn't mean that it's very memorable. I found the main story and side missions to be equally interesting, which actually isn't a great thing in this case. A comic book story can be extremely thrilling, having the reader dying to know what'll happen on the next page. This game on the other hand, makes the story feel more like a pile of super hero-ish events, all equally grandiose and therefore also equally insignificant. There are other problems like sluggish combat camera, slow stealth operations as other characters when you could be swinging with Spider Man, etc. But all in all you wont regret playing this game. Get yourself a couple of beers and have a blast over the weekend. It'll be great fun!    … Expand

    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

    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.
