    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game caused me to create a metacritic, just so I could talk about how great it is. Let me start out by saying: all other games and movies now seem to be mere imitations. In this game, it feels like you are really, truly playing as the one and only Spider-Man. I desperately want more. It's an experience, where after I was done, it was still fun to swing around, solve crimes and beat challenges. Minor spoilers follow.

    Story: I liked the story in Web of Shadows - they really rode the dark undertones well. But it doesn't cut close to the emotional, humorous and gripping story of Marvel's Spider-Man. With a cast of interesting and well-written characters supporting it, no moment is ever boring. I was very impressed with the heavy investment in "the feels" and I can only say to Insomniac: it is great and you can take it even further. I'm ready for the upcoming new game plus, so I can enjoy it all over again.

    Combat: hit the nail! It remains challenging and fun throughout the entire game. While clearly inspired by, they've abandonded the counter-mechanics of the Arkham Series's combat, in favor of rapid movement and dodging. You have a plethora of options to choose from, where as the decision on your best move has to be made in the span of half a second, thus making Spidey bounce around and doing the coolest stunts in a most spectaclar fashion. It feels and looks both smooth and powerful.

    Super battles: there are several villains in this game, one of the earlier ones being Shocker. The chase sequence with him, is probably the only chase in any game, I've ever really enjoyed. It was really fantastic, and it leaves a lot of room for choice of traversal. And then they made the interesting choice of pairing the super villains up late game, which worked insanely well. I wish they'd have moved away from the tradition of endlessly repeated patterns, but having two baddies at the same time, sure upped the game tremendously.

    Traversal: swinging is the best ever, no doubt. They've created a system, where nothing stops you - you can just keep going. It's something that you really have to practice to be good at, but when you do... Wow!

    Side activities:
    All fun! I only wished they'd maybe include more side quests related to smaller villains, like they did with Tombstone. Hammer Head, Hydroman, Jack O Lantern, Hitman, Silvermane... The Rose, maybe. That would've been really fun, but of course only if they made them interesting characters too, not just for the sake of including them.

    Now I cna only wait for the DLC and hopefully in the future: the next game :D Huge success and congratulations on making the most perfect Spider-Man experience ever, Insomniac.    … Expand

Spiderman's various web swings and climbing feels really organic. Now the combat is where the game really shines.

    The villains are iconic and fun to go against, but I feel like they are missing some more famous villains here. Where's Green Goblin? Sandman? Symbiote/Venom? or even Kraven? Here's hoping we'll see them in future (free) content.

    The one thing I kinda didn't like was the stealth sections as non-spiderman characters. Yeah, they are fun, but I have seen them hundreds of times in other games. Oh well, at least they are essential story bits.

    Go out and get this game. It's probably a non-lego marvel game that I liked in a VERY long time    … Expand

    A masterpiece.
    Everything is how it should be.
    Heck..its even better than the garbage,which is Homecoming,where everything is f***ed up- Starting from Peter as himself and Spider-Man, to all characters that go with the movie.
    Also,the story made me wish that the writers from the game take on the next movie and fix Spider-Man.

    I've just finished the main story and most of the side-missions, so I think I'm in a good position to review it.

    First of all, graphics. There was some controversy that the graphics may have been downgraded but I do not see any evidence of this from playing the game. My only qualm is the framerate isn't 60fps but the graphics are still amazing and I was really impressed that all of the suits looked so good and appeared in the cutscenes.

    The meat of the game is the gameplay. The webswinging is amazing and something that we all anticipated with bated breath. I was worried they'd screw it up yet again but this is by far the best webswinging experience ever, including being better than the fabled Spider-Man 2 on the PS2. This game really blows that one away in every aspect, especially gameplay. I found the webswinging easy to pick up and fun to master, providing plenty of versatility and options for traversing the city. Combat and web-based gadgets are also quite engaging, varied and fun. One qualm I do however have is with the special power that each suit has. It's great that you can customise suits, but I found that the Web Blossom technique outshadowed most other special powers by miles, making a lot of them redundant.

    I was a tad disappointed at the suits we can unlock. There are quite a few but most of them I am unfamiliar with and I think most players would be expecting to see the Symbiote suit in there, but it's not and a couple of the suits do look similar to it but it's one absence I did note.

    The story is the strangest part of the game, and not necessarily in a bad way. The game is much slower paced for the first 60% or so and then rapidly intensifies towards the end. For the first half of the game you aren't really met with many super-villians but they become far more frequent in the latter half, with Spider-Man sometimes taking on two at a time. Again this is not a bad thing as most of the villains will be familiar to even casual players, making their attacks predictable, but with two villains simultaneously this makes the encounters feel fresh and challenging. The only downside is some villains do not get as much exposure as they deserve, and one villain in particular gets a bit too much exposure whom I had not even heard of before this game.

    To sum it up, I bought the game for £45 on release day from HMV and it was well-worth the purchase in a year that has been a mixed bag of games. As the price goes down I'd definitely recommend it to even casual players as you don't need to know much about Spider-Man to get to grips with the game.    … Expand

    Sony continues to dominate 2018 with yet another solid hit. Marvel's Spider-Man doesn't have "amazing" in its title, but it would very well deserve it.

    This is not a flawless game, hence the 9/10, but it does nail two essential things - core gameplay and Spider-Man himself. The game is incredibly satisfying and still fun to play after 30+ hours of main campaign and the side missions - the reviewers didn't exaggerate when they said that simply swinging on webs from point A to B is truly joyful. The Arkham-inspired but tweaked combat system is less fluid than Batman's, but more agile with a lot of emphasis on mid-air fighting, and ultimately, very enjoyable.
    As for the protagonist, this is probably his best portrayal in recent media, the movies don't even come close. He's charismatic, rapid-fires quips, balances heroics and regular life, and is more mature than a schoolboy.

    That said, there are some minor annoyances in both story and gameplay. In gameplay, some side missions are just lackluster, like the copy-pasted crimes (several dozen of them!) and the research stations. I mean, come on, one minute you're saving the city and then you're tasked to feed the fish or catch pigeons. Insomniac should've followed Arkham more closely and made most (if not all) side quests connected to some side villain, like the Tombstone and Taskmaster missions.
    As for story, I didn't like this Mary Jane at all, who is some sort of an angry feminist who still gets herself in danger as usual, but upon being saved dares to complain about it. Neither did I like Morales, who is exactly the same character as Parker, only black and without any charisma whatsoever. Yeah, but he's so cool he can knock out a grown man with one punch with no prior training. I sincerely hope the most he'll become in the sequel is a sidekick. There were some cliche moments with villains, too, but I won't get too spoiler-y here.

    Still, overall Spider-Man deserves the surrounding hype and I'm personally looking forward to its DLC.    … Expand

The mechanics of Spiderman are flawless. They nailed the fluidity of swinging throughout the city and the combat. It's basically how I felt about my first time playing arkham. I felt like I was actually Spiderman. For me where the game starts to fall apart is he story and the side missions. Anytime a story mission goes into either a lab scene or an mj/ miles scene the game loses its step. There were far to many campaign missions that just felt like filler. I think now that they have the core mechanics down the sequel will be something truly great but for now this game just falls short on reinventing the arkham style.… Expand

    These collectibles may look boring, but are easy to collect thanks to the Spidey´s movement and the gear progression system based on tokens.

    “You don’t need a suit to be a hero”

    Introduction: Acclaimed studio, Insomniac Games, known for classics like Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance, throws there hat in the ring for their first licensed video game based on the beloved Marvel character Spider-Man. Will this game be as bad as the Activision games of the past or will Insomniac’s record help Spider-Man have an amazing game?

    Story: We start the game with a college-age Peter Parker, trying to balance pay rent on time, having a job as a scientist and being Spider-Man. In most other media, Peter Parker is just a normal kid just trying to get through high school. Seeing this older Peter Parker makes for a more engaging story as you see Peter go through more serious situation in his normal life. As for Peter being Spider-Man, it just feels like your standard Marvel movie plot. It’s a good story with a few twists and some interesting character developments, just don’t expect it to be a complete overhaul of a new story just because Peter is a bit older.

    Gameplay: The gameplay is what makes this game really shine. Traversing through the city is so much fun. Insomniac web swing mechanic is amazing and is the best we have ever seen in a Spider-Man game. Combat is just as good with the fluid way Spider-Man moves around the screen and how every move you pull off feels nice, satisfying and interconnected. There are many ways to take down your foes with the variety of gadgets and moves you will unlock throughout the game. All this would make the game near flawless if it was not for the fact that the enemies do get repetitive near the last 3rd when the variety of enemies becomes nonexistent. This is alleviated a bit with stealth sections that allow you to play as some other characters within the universe. (But I won’t spoil it here ;)) Side mission can be fun and plentiful but some also have the problem of becoming very repetitive. Boss fights are also underwhelming since all you need to do to beat the bosses is stun them and punch. The fights look flashy but the cool looking set pieces don’t make up for the lackluster fights. This could have been fixed if your arsenal of gadgets were useful during these fights. Even with these faults, it is still the most engaging Spider-Man game yet.

    Technical: The visuals are stunning even on a regular PS4. Photorealistic looking people with amazing motion capture. Cutscenes, the open world, fighting enemies all looks superb. Music is pretty good but nothing too special. Sounds similar the generic music from an MCU film. The game has minor glitches like enemies getting stuck in areas, requiring me to restart the checkpoint. Technics are super polished but some minor gameplay bugs needed to be ironed out

    Verdict: Despite its fault, Marvel’s Spider-Man is an amazing experience. An incredibly polished open world game with the best Spider-Man mechanic to date. A fun story through a different take on Peter Parker life. Amazing performances and motion capture that suit the ultra-real looking graphics. If you have a PS4, it is a must-have game. I just hope that Insomniac Games will make a squeal to this game so they can fix there few flaws and make a masterful game.

    8/10 “Great”

    +Best Spider-Man Gameplay to Date

I personally love looking for collectibles and having the option to do things other than the main story and this game had a lot options. Swinging through the city makes you feel as though you're really Spider-man. Couple of things that made it a 9 and not a 10 were some of the missions with miles in particular, MJ's missions IMO added to the story where some of the Miles missions could have been left out. But, I'm sure they were just setting him up for DLC or the next game.… Expand

    One of the best Spider-man games in history and a victory for the future of the singleplayer AAA games.

    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.
