    This generation has been piss poor for Super Hero games, thank you to PlayStation for bringing the only two and them both being masterpieces. Spiderman and Infamous SS are literally the only good super hero games of the generation. Spiderman from the legendary Insomniac games studios is by far the best Spiderman game in history, even surpassing the excellent Spiderman 2 when it launched.This generation has been piss poor for Super Hero games, thank you to PlayStation for bringing the only two and them both being masterpieces.

Almost Everything is perfect , the web swinging is so fun I didnt even fast travel once until 50 hours into the game. The combat is a ballet if power and destruction, that has a real skill to mastering it. There is puzzles that I hated with a passion but are completely skip-able, why have slow boring puzzles in an awesome action games anyway, but whatever. Also there is some out of place stealth that I didnt like, but was sort of necessary for the supporting character.… Expand

    This game was a blast to play. New York was done so well and Spider-man's movements were fluid and enjoyable. Act 2 was the weakest link of the storyline, but man they went out with a bang.

    Found it hard at first but once I got used to the mechanics I was given an amazing gaming experience. Combat is fun yet challenging and innovative. Swinging around the city is fun and so are the various side op (challenges etc). Surprised it only got an 87 critic review score.

    Story: 8.5; Gameplay: 9.5; Graphics: 9. I always want a perfect Spider-man game, and this game comes pretty close to my expectation. The swinging, the combat, boss fighs is awsome. The graphics seem to be downgraded a little bit, but it's stil beautiful. But the open world is not impressive as i hoped. And the story have some great moments too, but not always.

    -Fun combat system, suits Spidey pretty well with all those web-based gadgets
    -Solid graphics
    -Good story
    -Fantastic web-slinging mechanics
    -Decent open-world but could be much better
    -Great voice acting, especially Spidey

    Well done Insomniac.

    Spider-Man sure isn't my favourite superhero character if I ever had one, but the game was awesome and Spider-Man was a fine protagonist after all. All the characters in the story felt authentic and likeable, even the main baddies. The fight mechanics felt like they were designed to support casual gamers and more technical kind of gamers. Everything was good, highly recommend!

    The game may have failed to impress me at first sight but as the game is progressing I'm loving it. Yes, it definitely feels bit downgraded and combat system is 90% similar to batman Arkham games, but the game play is very smooth. That's what I really care about the game. I have also encountered with some bugs but that's alright, it is hard to find a game without any bugs...
    Anyhow, there is fast travel option available, but I feel it is totally pointless since the web Swinging is so smooth and perfect that you feel like traveling throughout the city!
    Nearly 40% of story is done, loved the upgrade system, three main types of power with support of many sub powers which let you decide what kind of combat you prefer to choose( stealth or just bring them on action). Suites appears to be awesome too. ( Yet to try one )
    Side missions seem to be enjoyable too.
    Story, appears to be bang on target.
    But where exactly it is lacking? I believe it's the length of the game... barely played for max 4 hours over all, did some sides and main 40% completed. I wish if the game was as lengthy as god of war and RDR2.
    Anyhow, it does not really catch up the standard of God of war and RDR2. But yes, this game is worth getting 9/10. Since it is enjoyable. You will feel the addictiveness after swinging Spiderman around NYC ❣️

    I'm realIy impressed. I got to be honest I thought this game was going to be another like most it's predecessor. I didn't think insomniac had in them to create not only a fantastic Spider-Man game, but one that completely tops Spider-Man 2 for PS2. The second I hit R2 to web swing I was automatically blown away. I haven't seen good web swinging like this in years. Playing as Peter ParkerI'm realIy impressed.

Playing as Peter Parker feels so relatable, a guy with money and girl troubles but manages to loyal to the ones he loves. The open world of Manhattan feels so immersive. As a New Yorker I found pretty dope Web swinging from bright lights of Times Square to the harbors near the Brooklyn Brdge to gritty streets of my old hood Harlem. The boss fights are **** sick! Taking down villians like Fisk, Shocker, Electro, the Valture, Dr. Octopus, etc. may offer a slight challenge but with Spidey's athletic style combat you'll manage. Since I brought it up, let's talk about. The Combat seems Arkham inspired but it has it's own flow and it's actually very responsive and enjoyable. There also upgrades that can be unlocked towards Spidey gadget and different moves that you pull off as you progress. As far Graphics goes the game looks beautiful. Now I know some clowns might say "It looks a little Cartoonish" Which is true, however Spider-man is super hero tyoegame which is based on a comic book. Not to mention the game's textures, lighting, resolution, reflections and character models are beyond fine. So if you're someone yammering about that hook them! There are a few cons. The combat could use a little bit more vareity in it's combination, as well it's side missions. It does get boring taking out enimies the same way over and over, especially when they're in waves. One other thing is the MJ stealth sections. I don't know if they wanted to show there was playable female character to shut feminists. But honestly I don't like it. It's tedious and boring abd it's easy to outsmart enimies. Besides that this game is completely kick @$$ and recommend you get it.… Expand

    My favorite PS4 game to this date. Now, to be clear, its not perfect. It had some bugs and I hated the missions with any non Spiderman Characters, but the rest of the game is so good I dont mind having to go through them. The story is great, gameplay is extremely fun and the game is BEAUTIFUL. Its a must play. i recommend it!

    Greatest Spider man game of all time
    Marvel’s Spiderman is a 15 hour long 3rd Person Action Adventure game extremely similar to the likes of the batman arkham games where you play of ocurse as spiderman, but not just spiderman…
    And this isn’t some origin story..which I would’ve loved, but youre 8 years deep being spierman, this spiderman has a history, hes taken some of my favorite villains down already.. but this also means there has to be a universe built around him where hes existed for 8 years..
    And Insomniac does a brilliant job doing this, especially thanks to this games collectables…
    Obviously theres a well written story here, but we’ll get to that later…
    Manhatten in Marvel’s Spiderman is so fun to swing around and grab its collectables.. im a sucker for map cleaners.. assassins creed is my favorite series of all time, and the open world here feels very much like an assassins creed game would feel, sync points to open up the map and show collectables, and I just loved hunting these things down, digging deep into the lore and universe I placed in..
    But as you swing around grabbing these collectables, and clearing out enemy bases youll earn tokens, youll also be able to stop crimes going on around the city for tokens as well to unlock new suits and gadget upgrades…
    Gadgets that are unlocked as the story progresses…
    And the story here is just brilliant.. so much emotion, humor, and character, every story mission feels unpredicatable, you never know if youll be crawling through vents and taking enemies out, if youll be brawling with a group of thugs, or thrown into and action set piece that makes this game feel like a movie at times, its thrilling the majority of the way through, however there is a massive chunk of act 2 that was just so boring and felt just so filler to me and unnecessary.. it was cool to get smacked with other spiderman villains, but these missions didn’t feel like they fit with the rest of the well polished and well thought out game… it felt like padding and I could’ve done without these final handful of villains the game makes you deal with, but the ending is worth it to get through this final slog…
    I also could’ve done without the stealth missions here… I didn’t mind the first one or 2.. but theres just way too much of it...
    Combat wise I was initially in love with everything about soider man… combat situations are open as if youre in the city, youre free to swing around, and you have plenty of gadgets by the games end to even the odds during these moments, much like the arkham games you have 2 striking options, and when an enemy is about to attack, your spidey senses start tingling giving you a brief window to dodge, which was so clever, I love how much sense it makes in this game for a little youre about to get hit indicator to pop up… however the combat for me by around hour 10 just starts to feel like a nussaince, its no longer fun or exciting, I would dread having to deal with enemies, especially towards the end as more annoying enemies are introduced…
    Unlocking new suits will give you new abilities to play around with.. but its just not enough to keep things interesting…
    Marvels Spiderman isn’t without its flaws…
    But this game is still great, for fans of spiderman or not.
    If youre a fan of action games, you owe it to yourelf to pick this one up
    I give Marvel’s Spiderman

    Jogo perfeito com gráficos detalhados que fazem o PS4 fritar. O jogo está limpo e roda muito bem e diferentemente de jogos como Days Gone, que tem uma jogatina bem travada, Spider Man vai na direção contrária fazendo um jogo a altura da capacidade do PS4. Ponto extra: Dublagem ficou incrível!

    Shortly after leaving the theater from being blown away by No Way Home, I remembered I had this game sitting at home waiting to be played. It quickly moved to the top of my priority list as the itch was there to be Spider-Man.

    This game is fantastic in all aspects with very little flaws. There is a reason it won 2018’s console game of the year and best action/adventure game. The story was great, predictable if you know a bit of the Spider-Man universe, but that never took away the emotion and suspense of it all. The ending was perfect. Build up of characters, impressive. Switching between a couple different main characters gave a nice break and allowed characters to shine.
    Even just the world setting of New York City was beautiful and an enjoyment to web sling from building to building. It says something about a game when they offer you quick travel in the map but you choose to manually sling your way across city blocks instead.

    Combat was the similar system of free flow combat seen in games like the Batman Arkham series and Shadows of Mordor. Using combos to knock out enemies, a counter system to dodge out of the way when your senses tingle, and build up enough focus you can perform a special takedown. Generally after playing so many games with that design I feel afraid I'll get bored of it but Spider-Man adds in a bunch of gadgets and tools to mix in with the fighting. Web bombs, trip mines, spider drones, electric webbing and the list goes on. It also adds a wide variety of enemy types that make you think fast on your feet on how to best deal with them.

    Even having the experience of those free flow combat games, Spider-Man has a degree of difficulty to it. Fail a dodge and you can lose 50% of your health instantly. There was always a sense of danger even when I reached the max level of 50 with maxed stats. Not ashamed to admit I died plenty of times from rocket launchers and big ol’ brutes giving me a haymaker.

    The small negative things I could say, with the variety of controls and things to map out on the controller, it took a minute to remember the layout if not playing consecutively. I typically play only on my days off when not busy so it can go 2-3 days in between plays. When I would load up the game and jump into combat it would take me a minute to remember all the combos or moves. Thankfully there is a built in move list in the pause menu.
    Also parts of the audio were extremely hard to focus on even with subtitles on. Being in the middle of combat and someone calling you about the next story beat, I felt I would miss special details or hardly remember what they said. Granted, maybe that is the feeling they wanted to portray as Peter is always taking a phone call when busy.

    Story: 10 / 10
    Gameplay: 10 / 10
    Visual/Audio: 8 / 10
    Entertainment: 10 / 10

    First let me talk about the experience. This game has the best fan service I have ever seen. Nearly every major and minor character from the Spider-Man universe is accounted for (there is even Stan Lee in a sweet, MCU-style cameo), while Spider-Man has to face several of his biggest enemies. The city traversal by web slinging is my favorite part of the whole game, nothing beats the sensation of climbing atop the Avengers Tower or the Oscorp towering HQ. Not to mention how cute it is to greet virtual people on the streets and shake hands with them, or taking selfies with the photo mode. Insomniac Games have done a tremendous job in the fan service department.

    What makes Marvel's Spider-Man stand out from other superhero games is the focus of its story on Peter Parker (who has been a crimefighter for 8 years) as a young adult who struggles to balance his personal, professional and superhero lives. Parker's relationship with Mary Jane and Aunt May is explored in a great way, as well as the relationship between Peter and his mentor. The main plot is not an adaptation of some classic Spider-Man story arc, it's a cinematic re-imagining of the established Marvel Comics mythos of Spider-Man, just like the MCU movies introduced modern takes on classic characters.

    This game is often compared with the Batman Arkham series of games, but it's really based on the PS2-era Spider-Man 2 game. Nevertheless, the fluid combat and traversal system are influenced by the Batman Arkham series and the Spider-Man 2 game. The game's meant to be played by everyone, so if you are a seasoned gamer you better switch difficulty to Hard instead of the standard Normal, this way you'll really enjoy the game and appreciate the combat system's intricacies. The map's layout in districts and the need to clear criminality in each neighbor are inspired by the inFamous series of games. There are also a few stealth sections where you don't control Spider-Man, and have to avoid enemy detection, Metal Gear Solid-style.

    Other than the presence of a few QTEs, the only real downside of this game is that, unlike the main story path, the side content is of varying quality. There are some great side quests, and many others that are repetitive. Sure there is plenty of busy work outside the main story path, like bringing enemy forts down or doing challenges, but variety is lacking.

    On the technical side, the graphics are top notch. There was the usual "downgrade" accusation on Twitter, but it was later proven to be wrong. You can see the whole of New York from the top of a skyscraper with impressive draw distances, and pop-in during web-slinging is almost non-existent. The soundtrack is inspired by the MCU movies and is wonderful. The sound effects are excellent. The voice acting for all the major characters is superb.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game made by Insomniac Games, the first high-calibre game Marvel's got in many years. Just like an MCU movie, this game ends with a couple of post-credits scenes, teasing a potential sequel. Maybe Marvel's Spider-Man will kick off a Marvel Interactive Universe, just like the Iron Man movie initiated the MCU phaenomenon back in 2008. I can't wait for the Avengers game and Marvel's Spider-Man 2!    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece loved it from start to finish. Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. The story had twist and turns and kept me engaged. The only critic I have is the stealth sections. They aren't hard and I was only caught twice but I remember always dreading them next one.

    This game. This game defines "open world". This game defines "great gameplay" and most importantly, this game defines Spider-Man. I wasn't sure how this game would fair before it came out considering the dreadfully disappointing movie tie-ins from Activision and Beenox. And what did we get? A bloody fantastic game that deserves that spot for game of the year 2018. Need I say more? 9/10

They did a really good job if taking the Spider-Man we all know and love to a new, fun, and interesting story with much stuff to do and a lively environment in both day and night. Definitely the best Marvel/Spider-Man game to date and will not be forgotten in the history of PS4 exclusives.

    That being said, there ARE some glaring flaws in this release. The graphics, while mainly great, can sometimes take a dip in quality (we're talking The Polar Express levels of uncanny valley with some of the facial animation.) . The side content doesn't always feel too special, either. At times, it feels like you're just collecting to check off boxes and raise completion rating to fulfill some OCD- centered tick that these open-world games have been breeding in gamers. These flaws, however, don't distract from the fact that this is in fact an amazing game that is definitely worth a buy.    … Expand

    The best word to describe this game is "FUN" - It is not a particularly deep game. The storytelling is a bit predictable and shallow. The story is too light and empty for the emotional payoffs at the end to have any real weight. Swinging is great.

    Non mi sarei mai aspettato un titolo su Spider-Man di questo spessore, alla faccia di chi lo criticò per il suo downgrade grafico... Che per carità, un pochino ci sarà anche stato, ma non stiamo assolutamente parlando di downgrade alla Watch Dogs o The Division.

Che per carità, un pochino ci sarà anche stato, ma non stiamo assolutamente parlando di downgrade alla Watch Dogs o The Division.

    La trama non è così complessa e non è nemmeno così originale (generalmente parlando). Nelle fasi iniziali, ci ritroveremo alle prese con la cattura di Fisk, uno dei nemici più famosi di Spider-Man (e non solo), che causerà un'escalation di problemi a Manhattan.
    La narrazione della prima parte è altalenante. Mr Negativo, nonostante il suo ruolo estremamente importante, è lasciato un po' in sordina... Non viene approfondito adeguatamente e quando compare su schermo, non c'è così tanto dialogo da farci affezionare alla sua "controparte", Martin Li.
    Nella seconda parte, al contrario della prima, c'è un'esplosione vera e propria di eventi, la scrittura è ottima e, il colpo di scena anche se prevedibile, sa come stupire.

    Il sistema di combattimento prende moltissimo dalla saga Batman: Arkham (comprese le meccaniche stealth) di Rocksteady Studios, riadattato per l'occasione per il nostro amichevole Spider-Man. Difatti, abbiamo una quantità spropositata di tecniche da utilizzare per mettere KO ogni sorta di nemico che ci capiterà su schermo e non mancano i vari gadget che ci verranno in aiuto.

    La longevità è decisamente buona, anche se non so esattamente quanto abbia giocato. La monotonia può essere un problema se si lasciano le varie quest ed attività secondarie in disparte per svolgerle alla fine della storia principale, ma se ci si alterna un pochino, non si avranno grossi problemi.

    Il tanto discusso comparto grafico è decisamente buono. Manhattan è splendida da vedere e da esplorare.
    I volti dei vari protagonisti sono estremamente dettagliati ed espressivi. Per non parlare delle varie animazioni ed acrobazie che compieremo nei panni del protagonista, sia in combattimento che mentre esploriamo la città svolazzando tra i palazzi.

    In soldoni, i fan di Spider-Man sono obbligati ad acquistarlo. Ai possessori di una PlayStation 4 consiglio di farci un pensierino, perché sebbene sia un titoli basato su un supereroe, come ha stupito il buon Batman: Arkham, questo non sarà da meno.    … Expand

    The Bad:

    Spider Man was one of the most exciting announcements back in 2016 at E3. When looking at that game most people thought that this game would pretty much play like the Batman Arkham games except it would be faster given how Spider Man moves when he fights. The other great announcement was that it was being developed by Insomniac Games who are responsible for great games like SunsetSpider Man was one of the most exciting announcements back in 2016 at E3. When looking at that game most people thought that this game would pretty much play like the Batman Arkham games except it would be faster given how Spider Man moves when he fights. The other great announcement was that it was being developed by Insomniac Games who are responsible for great games like Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank, and Spyro. So with great development team taking on a well established IP like Spider Man, it’s difficult not to get excited about this game. And when the game finally came out and I got to finally experience the game for myself I was left extremely satisfied. This game is not only one of the best games of the year but, this version of Spider Man is my favorite interpretation of Peter Parker and Spider Man.

    Looking at the story of this game, Peter Parker has been Spider Man for some years, the games starts with him going after Wilson Fisk. Before Spider Man can finish of Fisk, Spider Man is warned that because he is sending Fisk to prison no one can protect the city from what is going to happen. And as you progress through the game you are introduced to the Demons and Mr. Negative. There is a lot that goes on during the story that helps make this one of the best if not the best adaptation of Spider Man in the world of entertainment. Without spoiling the story, this game does a great job at not only showing us the Spider Man many grew up either reading about or watching shows and movies about him, but this game also does what some of the movies really haven't done as well which is make you feel for both sides of the character. Peter Parker in this game is excellent, there are many times during this game where you just feel for the guy, and you see the difficulties he goes through because there is more of a priority on being Spider Man than his life as Peter Parker and because of that his life and relationship is affected by that job.

    The only thing that I had a problem with the story involves the villain of the game. Mr. Negative has the blueprints of a sympathetic villain at first but, the game doesn’t really go in depth with that side of the character. There is one scene where you see a moment with Mr.Negative not liking that he is about to resort to a life of crime. In another scene later on in the game tries to help make him sympathetic, I thought it was a little too late to add that layer because at that point I didn’t have that much of a connection to the character that it was only a moment saying "damn that sucks for him" and that's it. There is another character introduced half way through the game that seemed like a fight was going to occur at some point and it never happens. There are other characters in the game that really left a great impression and I'm excited for when they show up in the eventual sequel to this game.

    The one thing that was evident when a lot of us saw the gameplay footage of Spider-Man was that this game basically looks like a faster version of the Arkham games. And after playing the game that is mostly true for the most part. The combat is quick and showcases the difference between Batman and Spider-Man. Batman was brutal in his fights you would see him break criminals bones before knocking them out. Spider Man drops quips as he is taking down criminals or if you want to make combat situations less stressful he can be stealth and when the moment is right you combat the remaining enemies. Another main difference I feel when comparing the Arkham games and this one is that in the Arkham games, there were moments you are in a room filled with armed enemies it felt impossible clearing that room of enemies unless you use stealth. In Spider Man it felt like his speed is what helped make those situation less of an issue. So what was almost impossible to do in one game, in this game you can clear a room and with style.

    Another great aspect of this game is exploring the world you are in. In Spider Man it feels great web swinging through Manhattan and the world is lively. If you wanted to interact with the people of Manhattan you can it may be minor like throwing finger guns at people like in Spider Man 3 only this did it better. Or if there is an active crime going on in the city, you hear a police radio talking about a crime occurring near your area and like that you can stop a robbery, help civilians in an accident, look for a missing person, ect.

    Spider-Man is easily one of the best games of the year and not only that but, it’s also one of the best adaptations of Spider-Man. This is another great exclusive that can only be played on PS4 and if you didn’t have one before this game, now The gameplay is quick and the humor Spider-Man displays is another thing that helps enhance the experience. The small complaints I have for this game honestly excites me more for the sequel because I can easily see the next game being even greater.    … Expand

The skill points and various tokens you get by going around town completing assorted challenges are just so much fun. I think that Insomniac Games captured the character of Spider-Man perfectly, and Spidey's quips are just hilarious. Hats off to whoever worked on the dialogue.

The only issue I have with the game (and it has been mentioned by many reviewers) is the uninspired side missions and activities. I feel like they could have done a better job inhabiting the world with things to do without resorting to extremely repetitive crimes, collectibles, etc. I was still perfectly OK with doing everything however, because traversing through the city was so damn fun, and upgrading Spidey's powers and gadgets, for use in combat, was so damn satisfying. Overall it's a great game, but I would not put it on the same pedestal as Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War which are my two front runners for Game of the Year.… Expand

    My Spider-sense was on blast the entire game. From the combat to web-swinging you really do feel like you're Spider-man, and the positives don't end there.

    I'm not sure if there's any word in the English dictionary to express how good this game is. Everything from the compact, graphics, audio, story are just simply amazing. Even just the swinging makes you feel like Spider-man. It's the best game ever period.

    I've been following this game for the last 2 years, and i was impressed by the swinging and the combat, but something i didn't expect from this is the great story, it's one of the best video game stories i've ever played, it's a very human story at it's core with very sweet and heartwarming moments, and can be enjoyed even from non-comicbook fans, the excellent voice acting and writingI've been following this game for the last 2 years, and i was impressed by the swinging and the combat, but something i didn't expect from this is the great story, it's one of the best video game stories i've ever played, it's a very human story at it's core with very sweet and heartwarming moments, and can be enjoyed even from non-comicbook fans, the excellent voice acting and writing made it even better, you won't be disappointed when it comes to the story.
    About the swinging, it's probably the best and most fun traveling system in any open world game, it's so fun that you don't want to fast travel!
    The combat is also excellent, i say it's even better than arkham's combat, which this game draws inspiration from, it's the same fast flow combat, jumping from guy to guy, but it's different and more challenging, especially because spidey can't take too many hits unlike batman.
    Now for the less great part about the game, the open world activities and side-quests, they aren't bad, it's just that the rest of the game is so incredible that these activities seem "less quality", they're still a bit fun at worse but can be better, but i still enjoyed them especially the backpacks and landmarks.

    VERDICT: it's an incredible game that doesn't bring new stuff to the table, but perfects the game mechanics that we knows, and the story makes up for it's flaws.    … Expand

    Fantastic game. I seriously cannot recommend this enough. It looks and FEELS like an expensive game, with a ton of love and affection to not only the source material, but the medium of videogames itself. A must have for any PS4 owner, by far, and my personal Game of the Year for 2018.

    Great refreshing game despite it's not inovative :
    If you like the base gameplay loop (fight, infiltration, exploration, web-swinging) you will have a great time in a wonderful and colorful settings (stunning graphics and nice attention to detail).

    Jokes aside. Insomniac has NAILED Spider-man.

    His fighting style is what fans would imagine how he should be - agile but quite fragile. it's a lot of fun dodging baseball bats, bullets and fists while webbing bad guys down.
    Witting dialogues? of course
    Suits that are earned through game progression not DLC? done!
    Spider-man 2 web swinging mechanics? SURPASSED IT! it's fun and feels right
    Story that's true to PP's nature and significant to Spider-man? You've got it!

    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.
