    At first the game looks good but it very quickly becomes a chore. Way too grindy and repetitive. Million unnecessary and unfun things that you have to do to progress/upgrade.

    Unfortunately, many people are simply overlooking the greedy and discriminatory practices of the game.

    Before the gane was even released, they already had 3 paid DLC packs announced and advertised that finished off storylines that were left hanging in the actual game! If EA had done this with a single player game, this would have caused an outcry.

    Before the gane was even released, they already had 3 paid DLC packs announced and advertised that finished off storylines that were left hanging in the actual game! If EA had done this with a single player game, this would have caused an outcry.

    Secondly, the game is neutral/positive towards the idea of private mercenaries working with their soldiers/copa (and even references them in the game) despite the crimes and violent actions such groups are known for throughout the world. Furthermore, it seems strange that the Demons enemy group is comprised solely of Chinese people who are hateful and violent unlike Fisk's thugs who are a mix of backgrounds who are less antagonized.
    Otherwise, the graphics are pretty good. But one thing to note is that this kind of web swinging was done before in The Amazing Spiderman 2 game for ps4 and Insomniac is not original in bringing it back from the Spiderman 2 game from over a decade ago although it is a nice system they currently have.    … Expand

    Marvel's Spider-Man PS4 Pro review. Lots of potential, but lacks for execution.

    Definitely best spider man game ever but still falls short of what it could have been, so far would give strong 7 out of 10.

    Definitely best spider man game ever but still falls short of what it could have been, so far would give strong 7 out of 10. People on the streets do acknowledge and interact with you on somewhat level, but their faces do not move, like lips and stuff 95% of the time, it just some body animation and then you hear voice saying a line, but their face almost never moves.

    Also if you run, you pretty much run straight through people. Like non clip thing is on, although they do seem to have "pushed" animations, but it somewhat activates too late, once spider runs through them and it is really distracting considering u could not do it in the amazing spider man 2 game.

    Fighting combat is fun, but straight up cloned from Batman Arkham Knight. Animals on the streets like squirrels run beside u and u can walk through them, because they do not have any AI they just have random spawn and movement pattern....and again u can just non clip through them.

    I don't know... city feels somewhat best as it ever been, but yeah.. if it was like GTA V style, where npc's actually have their life...these are just generic npc's which spawn randomly and do not do anything, like no purpose. They will shout for a taxi for as long as you going to wait for them to do something else.. but nah, npc will just stand on its animation loop and will shout for taxi even tho taxi car is there standing beside him. Not only that... traffic.... it just gets stuck. Nobody is moving, not even NPC's they just stand in the same spots. People stand beside road crossings and they do not do that. You can see low assets kicking in on cars, like 10 m away from them. Lower polygon models and it is somehow distracting but yeah, as much as city is animated and detailed it is as DEAD... And the lines of npc's do repeat even after 5 mins of standing still

    Story is good tho, swinging is fun. but anything else.. much potential maybe they needed another 2-3 months to polish things, maybe they needed more hardware power... Idk, but this is rather single linear game, because open world feels like a sandbox without a sand in it.

    Spider himself also seems not to be interested into interacting with environment, apart casual triangle button press beside npc's who come over u and say something like lets do selfie and after bumping into someone saying "excuse me" or similar line. And even after giving high five or other **** npc's just keep standing and doing nothing they do not walk away or mind their own business.

    Traffic AI is bad too... i see cars stuck and not moving for minutes, the traffic pattern seems to be very generic. You can stand in front of a car and block the way and the npc behind the wheel won't beep u or mimic or do anything. Yeah, again.. much potential, but open world is dead.

    I can only imagine the game which could have been if they would actually made some AI for npc's rather than focusing everything into the story which will leave you empty after the completion, unless you want to do the repetitive collectibles and side missions.

    I paid 52 euros for the game and completed on PS4 Pro. Will sell it to store for 50 euros voucher, so at the end game did not cost anything to me, but it leaves somewhat disappointment feeling. Maybe too much hype after all this waiting.

    Graphics: 8/10 (has the watch dogs 2 vibe and feel with a mix of the crew 2, but you can see popping and asset flipping to lower polygon models, car models are quite repetitive and npc models are not topping GTA V NPC's (2013 game))

    Gameplay: 9/10 (for Spiderman) and 5/10 (for rest of the world)

It must be pointed out that this is THE biggest ripoff of the Rocksteady Arkham games you will ever play. Literally, I was playing the game and couldn't stop thinking..."this is batman reskinned for Spider-Man". It has to be pointed out and it should affect the overall score. It didn't even try to break new ground in any areas of the game. Thats probably not a dealbreaker for anyone and for many its probably something that will make them like the game more.

    Mixed feelings after completing the game.. Web-zipping is the best part of the game. Story is ok. Fighting is the worst part of game. Why the hell spider-man needs to punch average man 10 times until knock him down ? You don't feel like a super hero, you feel like a ****

The map is riddled with side activates but unfortunately these are way to repetitive and simply not fun to do. The fact that you also have to take part in these activates in order to upgrade your equipment forces you to do things that you may not find as entertaining.

    There is also something about the pace and the setting of the game that feels a little bit off. It feels like you are jumping from gameplay area to gameplay area without it feeling coherent enough which ruins the immersion. And the world itself, even though it’s pretty, feels un-interactive and bland.

    In the end this game suffers from a common flaw in games nowadays, it is way too shallow. The story is ok and the action is great but that’s not enough for me to praise the game with a higher score.    … Expand

    another excellent exclusive for the Ps4. the fast-paced action, and great controls makes this a pleasure to play.
    the story is also quite interesting, and you continually want to progress further to see how it all ends. I had a lot of fun with this, and would recommend it to anyone into action games in general. I'm not particularly a huge Marvel-fan, but this game was great from start to finish.

    Realistically it's a 7/10 but the high rating and hype makes it sound like it's one of the best games of this gen so if you go in expecting that, be prepared to enjoy it but not to be super wowed.
    The campaign is also way too short. Even though the story was good, you expect a game that's rated 8+ to be memorable. Very fast and easy platinum but now that it's over it's forgettable.

    It didn't do anything new or game changing (no pun intended) to warrant all the hype.

    EDIT: Now replaying NG+ only because because of a couple of new trophies. It isn't as fun to replay, I also enjoy the combat less. I also forget to mention the pointless stealth missions (played as other characters) and catching a pigeon once is ok, but about a dozen times, really?    … Expand

So, if the graphics are good, the story and characters, why is the game a 6? Simple, the game play is not up to snuff and the pacing is horrible. I wish there was more upgrades for attacks and abilities in the game. Sure, Spidey has some, but not enough to keep the combat engaging. After awhile, the fighting can get very repetitive. I think the real problem is how most of the enemies just require you to use basic moves. Maybe adding some villians in there who would have demanded more moves and techniques would have spiced up the action. But, all of that pales to the big problem which is pacing. There is so much action packed bosses at the beginning of the game with lots of neat challenges and obstacles to overcome, but the problem is the middle. Oh my God! It gets so boring! No challenge from any of the enemies and the fighting gets to the point of repetitive which made me just want to put the game down. The end picks back up, but the 5 hours of downright boredom I experienced before it picks up back towards the end.

    I know a lot of people are enjoying this game and that is cool, but for me, this ends up another disappointing game for the PS4 lineup this year. GOW, Detroit and now Spider Man have been major letdowns for me. After an incredible 2017, 2018 has not been as kind to the PS4, and I thought Spider Man would easily be my PS4 game of the year. I really was looking forward to this game. Looks like I will have to wait for another Spider Man game before I can call one great. It is something I am seeing more in western games now. Developers seem to focus on style over substance which has caused me to navigate more to eastern games (Persona, Dragon Ball, Ys YIII, to name a few), I really wanted to like this game and it isn't a bad game, not by a long shot, but some really bad choices in pacing and combat drag it down to just an above average game I am sad to say.    … Expand

    4. Dynamic crime system is limited to 5 crimes per district per enemy type (meaning if you progress in the story and discover new enemies they will start to commit crimes the problem is the crimes arent randomly generated and infinite meaning you have a limited amount of them)

    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.
