    The game is nice but the story is not very good because the game is a spiderman game, so the story of spiderman is not good for me because the stories are cliché. Boss fights are so boring. It's very fun to play. The graphics are beautiful. Walking around the city is a fun, must-have game.

    My score:10/8

    me ha encanado la expansión la ciudad que nunca duerme extendiendo el juego a unos 4 o 6 horas de jugabilidad pero limitando un poco la ciudad.

    The definitive Spider-Man experience in video games. The most important part of any Spider-Man game should be how well it feels to actually swing around as him. And they nailed that here. Everything else, the good story, the good combat, the good map, the good graphics, the good side content, is the cherry on top.

On one hand the traversal mechanics are so smooth that it's easy to find one's self thinking as if they're actually Spider-Man himself. I can spend (and have spent) copious amounts of time just swinging around Manhattan. Subway? What subway? Manhattan itself is stunningly beautiful. Colors pop, the world feels alive, small details (like AC unit fans) are present in abundance. The proper tie ins to the larger Marvel universe are there and do not feel shoehorned in. The city functions as a character of its own.

    On the other hand, what the game offers is just your bog-standard open world collect-a-thon fare. The map is littered with collections, almost as bad as the map of London from Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Towers to climb (err, hack), backpacks to find, research stations to complete, landmarks to photograph, pigeons to gather, Black Cat locations to scout, Fisk and Demon bases to plunder, thug and Demon crimes to stop, the list goes on. Like the aforementioned Assassin's Creed franchise, only a handful of these tie into the actual story, most are just there to pad overall playtime and are incidental only to the location or a specific character -- essentially there to do just because you're the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. And that's fine to a point, but it becomes tiresome after a while just like every other collect-a-thon open world game. Keep in mind that Ubisoft pioneered this format of open world game and with the latest iterations of their franchises they've fundamentally changed and/or toned down the litter-the-world-with-collectables formula because it was wearing thin on players.

    The combat is merely "ok". It's your standard combo button beat-em-up with webslinging/aerial maneuvers interspersed throughout. It's similar to the Batman Arkham series but a bit more frenetic. Stealth is less important than the Batman series but still very useful. If you're rusty with the old combo button/Arkham combat mechanics, it will take a bit to reacquaint yourself but once you unlock a few skills and a couple of suits combat generally becomes easy except on the hardest difficulty setting where the AI just become gods of combat.

    All in all it's worth playing but I just don't see it being an 9 or 10 game. It's the same open world, combo brawler design that we've all burned out on since late last generation. Beyond its city traversal method and great attention to detail on the cityscape itself, the game doesn't really bring anything new to the genre.    … Expand

The expected mix of open-world web-slinging popularized by Treyarch and Batman: Arkham-style combat introduced by Beenox is present and accounted for. The biggest difference being that this isn't based on any movie. Of course, developer Insomniac Games have added their own personal touches to the experience in the form of things like an RPG leveling up system, upgradeable Spidey gadgets, special suit powers, and the ability to grapple towards and launch yourself from various points in the environment in what feels like a natural evolution of the movement mechanics found in their decent, but pretty underwhelming Sunset Overdrive. The most significant addition however is the inclusion of meaningful side-content for the first time in the wall-crawler's long career on home consoles.

    As you progress a variety of optional tasks, challenges, and even small storylines will begin popping up across the map at regular intervals. Their quality varies wildly from legitimately entertaining (timed Taskmaster tests) to mundane (pigeon-catching), but I felt compelled to do them all regardless thanks to their relative brevity. This doesn't follow the Ubisoft structure of littering your screen with hundreds of icons to check-off. Rather, each activity type comes in handfuls to add just a few extra hours of playtime instead of keeping you busy for months on end.

    What ultimately most makes this title worth picking up is its original story. Like I said earlier, this isn't some film tie-in, but also isn't set in any previously established continuity either. Insomniac have actually created their own universe complete with unique takes on the brand's history, characters, and lore. It leads to a tale that, while implementing a great deal of novel changes to deep-seated key elements, remains faithful to the true essence of who Spider-Man is with strong, surprisingly emotional writing that sets up so many exciting venues for them to go in the future. It's by far the greatest distinguishing part of the package.

    The overall familiarity keeps this from being something I can truly rave about, yet at the same time stands as the reason I enjoyed it so much. I was transported back to the PS2 era over the course of this superhero adventure. Memories of playing the titles derived from the Raimi works and Ultimate came flooding back, and accompanied by the smoothest gameplay Parker has seen so far outside of the occasional glitches you'll encounter. As a result, I can do nothing than recommend that every web-head fan pick this up, even if only for the nostalgic feeling alone.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed it. They managed to polish it so well that it looks and plays like it should. Anything outside of the storyline is boring af though. Do yourself a favour and get the regular version without the dlcs, as they don't add anything worth playing and only prolong the boring open world experience.

    The gameplay is very fun. Swinging didn't initially interest me, but once you get used to it, and become optimal, it's really a lot of fun. Also the game allows for fast travelling which helps reduce it getting boring.

    One thing this game made me thing a lot though is how great the Rocksteady Batman Arkham games were. A lot of spider-man fet directly copied, and the combat and gadets did feel like knock offs of the batman games.
    However, the game is still fun despite this I just hope the batman games are revisited on ps5.

Go here, fetch that, collect this, investigate that, all as lazy excuses to force you to explore the map. I could forgive it if it meshed naturally with the game, but it’s so lazy and contrived, I just rolled my eyes with each new fetch quest they introduced. Seriously, go catch pigeons all over town? Collect crap from your backpacks? It’s just busy work to make the game feel longer and adds nothing to the narrative.

    I absolutely adore the Batman games, everything about them, from the graphics, the story, the combat, even the grind, they’re absolutely beautiful, but spiderman feels like a cheap, wonky knock off.

    Simply because the graphics, the voice acting, the cutscenes, the presentation, everything in regards to the production is simply stellar, it doesn't look like a videogame, nor do the cutscenes feel like the usual stories that you find in gaming, everything about those aspects is simply incredible.

    Then you get to the gameplay and the introduction to the traversal mechanics, as well as the combat systems, while also taking into consideration the side activities that you discover as you progress throughout the game, are fairly well presented, and are fun to play at first.

    The issue that I personally encounter with the game lies with how artificial a lot of the characters in the story feel for the most part, plus how the game attemps desperately at trying to be as meaningful as it can be by adding three story arcs from characters I'm simply not that interested in, those being, Mary Jane, Aunt May, and Miles something (I forgot his name).

    All of these characters feel forced in their presence almost as if there were alterior motives in their inclution and their focus, I don't know if they were trying to make Peter Parker feel more like a person, by showcasing his relationships, friendships, old acquaintances, etc...

    But the issue that I have with these characters is that they're supposed to be side characters, not main characters, I expect them to see them, I do not expect to play as them, nor do I certainly expect to have the game being divided in two sections.

    One that involves playing as Spider Man when resolving side activities, and in some main missions, and the other one being, playing as Peter, Mary Jane, or Miles in most of the Main missions.

    The last thing I want to do when playing a Spider Man game is completing tedious, and repetitive puzzles, plus playing through heavily scripted sequences where I'm serving a role of nothing more than a mere expectator with minimal interactivity or freedom to tackle each situation differently, this is one of those games that asks you to play it the way the developers wanted you exactly to play it.

    Press square when you're told to take down an enemy, press triangle when you're told to knock an enemy out, etc...

    You might as well have been told to roll over, and fetch, it gets tedious after a while.

    Now that being said I do appreciate the side activities and playing as Spider Man, Insomniac "nailed" this systems, which is probably what mostly upsets me about this game.

    Playing as Spider Man is a thrill, you're swinging from building to building, beating up criminals in an interactive and dynamic combat system, you listen from time to time whilst traversing in the city the Jonah Jameson podcast, all of this is fantastic, and incredibly well done.

    Even some segments in the cutscenes and narrative are fantastic, the progression and downfall of Doctor Octavius, the presentation of Norman Osborns character, the subtle, and simplistic story arc of Peter Parker forgetting to pay his rent, the small collectibles that you can find around the city that shed a light to multiple events and stories in the Spider Man universe.

    All of these things are great, but they're great because they involve Peter Parker, as Spider Man, I'm interested in him as the main character, not in Mary Jane and Peter banal relationship struggles, not in aunt Mary helping to run a charity, not in Miles sneaking from enemies.

    I wanted a game about Spider Man, not about Mary Jane taking pictures at an art auction, not in Peter completing silly puzzles.

    As such the game is divided in two segments, one that is incredible, (the spider man one) and one that is dull, banal, and mediocre, (the one's from any other character).

    Is Spider-Man a good game? Yes without a doubt. Is it a 10/10 GOTY Incredible must-buy? Nah, not really.

    The game like most things in life, has it's good and bad aspects. The combat for example feels fluid and polished, however in order to give us the full spider-man experience they had to cram moves into every conceivable button combination. This can be super annoying when fighting droves of enemies, but when you get a sniper or rocket dude hitting you and you're fumbling for buttons it's super aggregating when a single hit takes 60%+ of your life away. Oh and they really skimped on the i-frames in spider-man, you're vulnerable in almost every animation leading to deaths that just feel cheap like you died because spidey had to do that extra backflip and took a sniper round to the face, rather than because you did anything wrong.

    The world is absolutely spectacular, Manhattan looks great, travelling around is fluid and feels right. The world however is filled with your standard open world game busy work, find the collectables, snap some photos, solve some puzzles, beat some horde mode encounters, you know the drill, but it's old hat and I think developers really need to reassess how they go about these open world games in future.

    The story is easily the best aspect of the game, while it's fairly short if you ignore the open world busy work, it's well made, well voice acted and just generally fun to play though with the exception of the Mary Jane and Miles Morales stages, which just feel like boring padding.

    All in all spider-man is a good game, the world and story are great, the combat is average with some frustrating parts and the open world busy work is bland and uninteresting. Pick it up to blitz though the main story if it's on sale or something.    … Expand

The single player campaign is good length. The main missions were definitely the highlight for me. These were AMAZING. All the chase sequences, on-screen destruction, animations were truly fantastic. I felt glued to the chair when spider-man jumped, dodged obstacles and fired his web. When the game falls flat to me was outside main story missions.

    The city felt lifeless and little flat. New York looked amazing and city looked busy but the moment you landed on the ground the level of interactions was rather limited. This made city feel boring and flat to me. You have tons of activities but these really feel the same. I did not feel the need to do all of them. (I did most of the side activities and might come back to the game to do some more but they all come down to fighting waves of enemies or swinging through the city and collecting stuff). It is little bland when compared to the main campaign missions.

    The combat system is good so you might do most of all of the side activities. What makes it interesting are spidy gadgets which bring more variety to the combat mechanics. There is also light progression system which will help you unlock new/improved ways of annihilating your enemies and will bring more flow to the engagements.
    Traversing through the world is lots of fun, there are lots of collectables and mini crime stopping activities which if completed will reward you with tokens that can be spent on upgrades and costumes. There are plenty of those.

    I played game on base ps4 model and 65 inch TV. It all looked very cinematic but graphic was not the next level like God Of War or RDR2 but it was definitly a good looking game. I wonder how it looks in 4k.

    I overall liked the game. I enjoyed Spider-man movie but by all means am not a die hard fan. For me it is solid 8/10 game.(if you are a fan it might be an 9 or maybe even a 10).

    Pros:
    - this Amazing campaign
    - lots of very interesting villains
    - combat sytem
    - voice acting
    - web slinging and gadgets

    Cons:

    + 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.

I never has the issue that one person is complaining about, the framerate drop after using a web. Nothing about this game felt sluggish at all. The other complaint about playing as MJ for a whole 15 minutes must have never read a Spiderman comic in their life. The story was almost always involving MJ in some way. As for the quips, another person who's never read a Spiderman comic and just goes by what the Fox and MCU movies did.

Another highlight for me was the combat, it's the familiar Batman formula but I dunno, it just felt more slick in its execution. The transitions from regular attacks to finishers was so fluid. The final big plus for me was the story and voice acting, I really cared about the characters and they were all voiced so well, something which gets neglected far too often I find. Visually it was also very good, with some of the faces looking almost eerily realistic.

    As for the negatives I have to say I really didn't enjoy the stealth sections where you played as MJ or Miles, creeping around boxes is just not fun IMO. I also felt all of the side content was complete faff and added nothing to do the game, I skipped as much of it as possible and focused on the main story which was good.

    Outside of the main storyline you have these side mission that are just cookie cutter filler and completely ripped of from every type of open world game out there. Outposts, random crimes on the streets, catching pigeons for some reason, etc. Not too interesting. Also, while the graphics are alright, there is nothing exmplemplary in the environments. Just a bunch of cookie cutter boxed buildings with a few exceptions like Avengers HQ and the Daily Bugle. Compared to games like Arkham Knight, the city is just bland to explore, but I guess it's just New York.

    The combat just gets old very quickly and the most basic moves are really all you need to progress. It used the same tried and true formula created by the Batman Arkham series but really does not innovate. Difficulty rises simply because the game will throw numbers at you and you just need to manage the massive amounts of enemy types, from basic thugs to Riflemen to shield toting guys, etc. Each enemy has most efficient way of getting disposed but mostly you bash 2 buttons.

    The side missions are all just pretty meh as well although the main story is solid and there is a plethora of spidey suits you can don, but unlocking some of them is a chore. Ultimately, the game itself turns into a chore by the end and there just isn't enough diversity to the gameplay. Still, overall a great Spiderman game and I did enjoy it while it lasted.    … Expand

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.

    Person should have as much hands than a spider to handle all these kind of commands. I am against that modern trend that if controller has maybe 15 buttons, there should not be 150 essential moves. Even the simple moves are too difficult to make. Character jumps either 20 centimeters or 10 meters from same button and cannot be controlled. Character just completely jackass around because of that.

I felt more engaged when I had to take a break in fighting crime in order to find a new place to stay after I got kicked from my apartment than when I was fighting 6 super villains at once.

    I am an old school Spider-man fan, reading the comics from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

The game is good and while I understand the story is most definitely an independent one, there were still aspects that II am an old school Spider-man fan, reading the comics from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

The game is good and while I understand the story is most definitely an independent one, there were still aspects that I found did not fit certain characters and then there was too much time on some characters and not enough on others. There were also aspects of the game play that could have been improved upon too, so my complaints of the game are not totally directed out of changes to characters and certain story arcs. That being said, I still enjoyed swinging through New York and collecting things and trying to fight crime in the city!

    The story, Spider-man starts out taking down the Kingpin and this seems to set a whole lot of stuff in motion. A new criminal organization has emerged and its goal seems to be to cause as much damage to New York as possible to make Mayor Norman Osborne look bad. Meanwhile. Spider-man is helping out as a lab tech with his friend and mentor Doctor Otto Octavious. Otto seems to share the hatred that the new enemy targeting New York has and soon the doctor loses his mind and forms a team of villains to try and bring the city and Norman to his knees. Only Spider-man stands in their way along with some help from Mary Jane and Miles Morales!

    During the time I read the comics Dr. Octopus was Spidy's main villain. Venom had his moments, but Dr. Octopus was always there with some nefarious plan. He never knew Pete before the change, and I am not sure why this game and the movie had him and Pete share a mentor relationship. Sam Rami always professed a love for earlier Spider-man comics, but always took strange leaps like organic web shooters and such. He and this game make poor Otto seem sympathetic, but in the comics once he lost his mind, he never had regrets. They would later make Norman emerge again as the Goblin, but to me Doctor Octopus will always be Spider-man's most unique villain. To me, the Green Goblin is just The Joker with powers and a glider. The Sinister Six was also originally Doctor Octopus, Electro, Vulture, Sandman, Mysterio and Kraven the hunter who always gets ignored these days! Here, they have three of the original members, Doc Ock, Vulture and Electro and add the new villain, Mr. Negative and oldies but goodies Rhino and Scorpion. I was very disappointed when I could not fight each of these villains one on one, for some reason they really skimped on Electro, Vulture, Rhino and Scorpion.

    The game play is fun, what one would expect for a Spider-man game made since the game based on the second movie came out. A lot of swinging around New York and stopping crime. You also have side missions, collectibles and tokens to earn! The game keeps you busy that is for! What it needed though were some more villains of the super powered variety. It would have been cool had Shocker been running around the city when the criminals were running rampant and you could fight him occasionally and maybe a few others of the lesser known super villains. At times it can get repetitive fighting dudes in orange jumpsuits! There are also times when you take control of MJ or Miles and you have to get through areas without getting caught and they change up the pace.

    So, the game is good, I loved seeing Doctor Octopus as the main villain in the end, I was so fearful that Mr. Negative would end up being the leader of the Sinister Six. The fighting is fun, the story is rather good, but both aspects have flaws. Any story flaws I found, won't really affect any of the newer generation of comic book readers, I just came from a different time. The game play flaws, well at times you kind of wish there was more to do and those challenge tokens are a bit too scarce and hard to get! Overall, a really fun game and I look forward to playing the Miles Morales Spider-man one day.    … Expand

    unfortunately, as many others have noted: it is highly overrated and it gets repetitive fast.

    the controls go from smooth to annoying on a dime. swinging through the city feels great at times, but then it can be ridiculously tricky to land on a mark or simply climb a wall right in front of you.

    combat also sways wildly from feeling awesome at times, to down-right frustrating.

    although it is ultimately a pretty easy game, it is often baffling how many punches it can take for spider-man to subdue a generic thug -- diminishing the super hero sensation. this is also inconsistent with the one-button take-downs he casually performs in "stealth" missions.

    occasional boss fights add a bit of diversity, but heavy reliance on quicktime events steals some thunder from feeling like a bad-ass in these situations.

    the main story suffers jarring start/stops too; some missions are mind-bogglingly mundane. playing as MJ may add context, but is undeniably annoying and totally disrupts the immersion.

    even more cursory side missions, which are occasionally required to advance the story, are generally tedious, lackluster, and feel like padding.

    despite some great moments and a lot of cool content, these aforementioned issues prevent the game from building proper momentum.

    the open world structure ends up feeling like disconnected dots. the whole ordeal gets stagnant within a few hours, leaving you to traverse a gorgeous, but ultimately lifeless NYC, reducing spider-man to a string of chores.

    clearly a lot of love and attention went into certain key aspects of this game; but it ends up missing the mark, with the sum of its parts failing to add up to a satisfying whole.

    as others have also noted: the "DLC" disappointingly reeks of content that was arbitrarily stripped from the base game and greedily put behind an additional pay wall.

    and where is 60fps? not even available on PS4 Pro? here is a AAA title whose fast-paced action could really benefit from 60fps. this glaring performance omission is a major let-down, especially for those who shelled out extra money for the Pro system.    … Expand

    I love INSOMNIAC previous games but this one is not going to do good for them. Maybe they got good sales, but if they continue doing Spiderman 2 as boring as this one theirs sales will be below expectations. I played previously Darksiders 3 and I tought that it will be a trash, instead it surprised me at how good it was ( ignoring the frame drops and bugs).

    As a long time fan of the webhead I wondered if this game would be able to live up to the bar that was set by Spider-Man 2 on the PS2/Gamecube. What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    Fortunately the resounding answer is yes. Insomniac not only met that high bar but they surpassed it. Visually the game is stunning.

What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    Fortunately the resounding answer is yes. Insomniac not only met that high bar but they surpassed it.

    Visually the game is stunning. New York has been realized convincingly with tall skyscrapers and a convincing populace. Spider-Man 2 allowed you to go to ground level, ride a car here or there, recover a kids balloon, deliver Pizza's. But this feels far more robust.

    There are dynamic events throughout the city to engage in. Maybe you stop a getaway car. Foil a robbery. Spot some thugs on a roof top? Send them flying over the edge only to see them stuck to the side of the wall.

    The combat is excellent. There is such a rhythm to it. You can dive between an enemy's legs, hit a guy behind them, bounce backward, web a manhole cover and twirl it about before sending it into some hapless goons noggin. Then you have all your web abilities like a web bomb, spider drone and more to boot.

    The web swinging has been done wonders too with a number of tricks you can perform.

    All of these really shine in the outposts and hideouts you can take down using a mix of stealth and bare knuckle fisticuffs.

    There are plenty of collectibles to collect that can then be used to unlock suits and upgrades. Insomniac didn't stop though. They continued adding new suits and fresh content with DLC including the beloved Raimi suit.

    The story too is frankly amazing. While the Arkham games have always excelled at presenting Batman's rogues gallery and delivering a Batman vs. Joker story? Spider-Man's story in this game really gets to the heart of what makes Peter Parker Spider-Man.    … Expand

    It almost seems like a meme at this point but the combat 100% is derived from Batman Arkham. It offers enough changes and    Spider-Man for PS4 was a good time for me but not a must-play by any means. By the time I'd finished the DLC, I was beyond ready for it to end in spite of hardly touching its side-content. I had long-since zoned-out and been listening to podcasts while I played....

    It almost seems like a meme at this point but the combat 100% is derived from Batman Arkham. It offers enough changes and feels different enough to justify its existence but it is still derivative nonetheless. All-in-all, it feels a lot faster and appropriately lets you zip between enemies, giving it its own unique flavor. The stealth sections are here too and don't overstay their welcome but feel a little under-cooked. You also play as 2 other characters for a couple of sections but these are pretty groan-worthy, shoehorning in scripted stealth sequences where you're not able to make choices in how you approach problems.

    While the combat is Arkham, the overall structure leans more toward the Ubisoft-open-world model, with map-towers, crimes, collectibles, etc. If it resembles one of the Batmans in particular, it would be Arkham Knight for this exact reason, which most people had a more mixed response as a result. There's a million icons on your map and you could easily double your time if you engage with all of this stuff. It's tragically not that compelling though, and the main quest and especially the DLC have a lot of this fluff in them as well. Spider-Man's bag of tricks runs out reasonably quickly, turning it into a string of combat-enounters, chase sequences, cutscenes, hacking minigames, etc. It never dwells on anything too long but very few sequences in this game left a lasting impression. Thankfully, around 2/3 of the way through, NYC becomes overrun with crime and at this point, the campaign and open-world become a lot more interesting but I couldn't help wishing this had happened much earlier in the game. This is something the Batman games did at the start of their games, to great effect.

    The most disappointing thing about Spider-Man is its lackluster level design. Insomniac has crafted some of the best levels in gaming history with Spyro and Ratchet & Clank but here, they've shackled themselves to a realistic map of NYC that just isn't very interesting to explore. In spite of how much the visuals and detail have been improved in this entry, it's still no more interesting to explore than it was on the PS2. The real shame here is that the Arkham games actually have great level-design! In contriving various video-gamey settings like a city-turned-prison or snow-storm, the Batman games were able to have settings that were more interesting to explore and better lent themselves to a video game. This drove me to do every sidequest and find every riddler trophy throughout the whole series. Spider-Man, however, just has a bunch of generic buildings and pedestrians walking around everywhere. Ironically, the most interesting areas of the game are when it deviates from the open world and copies ideas outright from Batman with a great prison level and some dream levels that are a little to close to Batman for comfort.

    To sum up, the combat is good but derivative, the story is great, the mission variety is lacking but improves toward the end, and the side content and DLC fail to make compelling cases for their existences. To me, it's the definition of solid but nothing special. It might seem like I've made too many comparisons to Batman but Spider-Man is absolutely shameless in the way it borrows ideas and much of the game's world and structure is objectively worse than how Arkham City handled things 7 years earlier. Spider-man PS4 is significant to me in that it's where Insomniac has gone from being a leader to a follower. It's a very good game, especially if you're a Spider-fan but it fails to offer anything new or exceptional to gaming as a whole.    … Expand

    Great game best one of the character and from Marvel in general in my opinion, awesome looking open world based on Manhattan, great story with a fulfilling hero's journey of Spider-Man, nice gameplay with enough challenge for a regarding power fantasy, all with the attention to detail and dedication of Insomniac Games.

    Gameplay is really good and a very well done open world game, it doesn't innovate but it does what it proposes really well. The RPG elements, like the ability tree and the costume's abilitys are solid too.

    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.
