    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.

    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)

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.

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.

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

This is what I came up with: Spider man just killed himself out of boredom because Insomniac Games appointed him to the mayor of town mediocreville where everything he does is so mundane, he would rather castrate himself little by little, using a cheese grater.

    As said, everything is just ok. There is nothing great about this game. Story is just fine. Gameplay is just fine. Graphics are just fine. Voice acting... wanna guess.. Yes! Just **** fine.

    In combat enemies constantly swarm you and the dodge mechanic leaves you open for attacks because after a dodge spider-man stays still for a time that seems like eternity until he can move again. Combat like this was much better in games like Batman archam series and Mad Max. Also Spider-man suddenly seems like the weakest super hero ever. Is this some kind of parody? Even kick ass is stronger than this spider-man. Couple of hits from a common thug and your dead? On medium- or "amazing" difficulty as it's called in this case the game is harder than Technomancer. If you haven't played that one, I urge you to try it. It makes darksouls look like that little puzzle box where you put different shaped blocks thru the right holes. And that's what the puzzles are like in this game. I did one with my eyes closed. I sh't you not!

    What the hell is this trend of xp and character levels in every game on the market these days. How about creating a strong story line, challenging but fair combat system and fun side missions that give the player bonuses that aid in tough fights? How about out of your **** mind crazy ass boss fights that make you sweat? Nope! Instead go and find back bags that award you with one extra spider suit if you find them all. Except you don't have to find them. They are marked on your map. WTF?! So is this what the game designing just is these days? Where did all the fun go?

    Holly sh't am i disappointed. I'm a huge spider-man fan and this game is pretty much a slap to my face. I want to like this game so much but it just isn't possible. On a positive note, the web slinging is pretty fun and it's implemented very well. I'm in a little disbelieve because in trailers this looked so much better. What happened between the latest trailer and launch? Where did all that amazing super hero sh't vanish? I sure as hell can't find it.

    I give this game a score of one gray toyota prius out of Lemmy Kilmister raising from the dead and riding a flaming dragon while cutting off Justin Biebers head..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've completed the game, all harry research stations, all backpacks, all pigeons, all bases, all landmarks.
    I just need to finish up challenges and I'm going to have the 100% mark done pretty soon. So I have a comprehensive experience on it.

    This unfortunately is being run by a hype machine, it's nowhere near the 90s people are giving it and over rates the game and misleads people to where it's at.

    The obvious good points are the visuals are great, along with the web traversal, it's intuitive and very smooth. You will rarely ever swing into a building and donk yourself against it, losing all the momentum you've built up. (although that should be a given in a spider-man game).
    I liked a lot of details like the little tweet section and JJ podcasts that adds a layer of immersion to the world. The interiors on buildings that you're crawling past despite eventually being copy paste still managed to impress me because of the effort of city detail when they could have just put mirrored windows on

    The core story is very short, and the padding as Mary Jane/Miles Moral can be extremely tedious when you just want to get to being spiderman and I ended up just speed running as them and finding not a lot of issues in recklessly running around as them.
    The bosses themselves are waaaaay to easy, Their patterns you figure out within 15 seconds because they're that repetitive. And you just end up rinse/repeating that strategy until the cutscene arrives which can feel a bit of a chore not a engaging challenge to over come.

    The story lingers a lot on Martin Lee, like, a lot. A good 66% of the game is about stopping him so the sinister 6 thing feels a little rushed because you only get one mission boss fight with them each and then they're gone. Made them kinda disposable characters for some of spidermans main villains.

    Most of those are legit criticisms but not worthy of bringing it down three points...but my biggest gripe? The side missions/side quests. The most mundane rinse and repeat fetch quests/time trials/"map reveal" watchtower clichés that we have seen time and time and time again in open world games. They're getting so repetitive in the genre that I'm already bored of them the first time I ever played them in the game because I've already done it a million times before.

    The set crime response missions were pretty good, but they need to make it more organic. Kind of like a radiant system with a wide plethora of missions. All the way from stopping bank heists to helping old ladies cats out of trees. Bring back the friendly neighborhood spider-man.

    I feel like it's a good start for spider-man, but insomniac weren't trying to make an amazing game rather than a decent one to make the set up for a sequel that REALLY has potential. (symbiotes, which I was kinda disappointment didn't make an appearance here.)

    Also, PLEASE devs, PLEASE. Make villains unlockable characters to play again like when the first sam raimi spiderman game let me play as the green goblin, or how ultimate Spiderman let me play venom.

    This game is very good, but has a lot of bugs, the camera should be better, and when you dodge it doesn't work every time. Besides that the game is very very similar to Batman Arkham Knight, almost a copy. The story is good and the graphics are crazy.

However, after getting around my love for the web-slinging spider I got to notice all the flaws fans seem to miss. Don't get me wrong it a great experience for a spider-man fan, the web-slinging is great but not perfect.

    The combat is incredibly repetitive and easy. I found myself creating the same moves over and over again, even as i got into the latter parts of the game. it went from dodging to smashing the attack button to pressing triangle to go to the next enemy and repeat. I found not much of a reason to upgrade my skill tree after a while. Though I strangely liked this better than the Batman Arkham games.

    The graphics don't seem as good as i thought as they would be. After hearing about the whole puddle controversy digital foundry confirmed that the graphics had actually gotten an upgrade but I am not seeing any improvements. The character models are fine with the exceptions on Peter. I am not one to usually pick on a game for its graphics cause that's not a game's main strength but I couldn't get over Peter's strange design, specifically his eyes. Mary Jane also seems to lack the design I remembered from comics and cartoon series as she is more of an average looking redhead with Lois Lane traits instead of the girl next door bombshell.

    As for the story, if you play other PS4 exclusive games then you can probably see the similar formula. As they try hard to copy the same cinematic experience you see when you go to a movie theater. Not a bad thing but when it becomes a consistent trend I fear more games will follow this practice and prioritize it over gameplay. I was also disappointed in the lack of villain fights during the game, they weren't many and the early ones felt more like a tutorial than actual boss fights. Black Cat's mission was anti-climatic, the side quest were hardly challenging and the MJ/Miles segments were unnecessary.

    While I love playing as Spider-man I do wish there more choices to play as him rather than follow a linear scripted narrative, but that's just me. I'm sure a lot of people loved the quirky humor and laughable segments with Spider-man and Yuri or the J.J. podcast. Overall I liked this game but it isn't a 10/10 just because of the graphics and easy clone combat of Arkham. It isn't a bad game and it definitely isn't a masterpiece but it does need improvement. Hopefully, the DLC won't feel like cut off content.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT THE ENDING AHEAD!

    I was originally gonna write a long and boring review about the game but I thought might as well just write a few of my points here. I was a Spider-Man fan since I was a kid playing the PSX title and watching the animated series on TV back when it still aired, my point being I love everything Spider-Man.

    When Insomniac announced they were developing the game I was thrilled, and now that I got to play it, I think Insomniac has done a lot of great work. Such as:

    Great graphics despite the ps4 being relatively weak

    Combat is super fluid and fun, the swinging is top notch too

    RPG elements and simple skill trees

    Suits that were never before seen in other SM games

    Good writing in Act 1 and 2, the beggining of the game is fun and doesn’t include uncle Ben

    Good camera mode, I never really use it but when I tried it was fun and unique

    City looks amazing and vibrant while you’re swinging.

    Obviously the list goes on as a lot of the game is done right, but I also feel like the game has rocky parts that are almost left unaddressed, such as:

    Arc 3 feels super rushed. The writing goes from being good to cliche/surface level lines such as “you don’t know me” “this is what we do, we save the world” “I trusted you” “you were my hero” “I never stopped caring” bla bla. I just feel like the ending had no weight whatsoever.

    Silver Sable is extremely underdeveloped as a character (similarity to Nadine in Uncharted 4)

    Marry Jane is being toxic, and despite this she gets back together with Peter and claims that "she never stopped caring" haha like what?? The ending is obviously pure fan service in response to the “One More Day” arc in the comics, which it didn’t even have to be considering none of this had even happened in this games universe, by now we have already agreed that it was a horrible choice to reset SM like that, why base the ending on that? Peter doesn’t deserve being in a relationship with someone as irresponsible and selfish as this universes MJ just because the plot demands it. There was a chance to do something unique here, maybe show that Peter has matured and realized that this was not a good idea for either her or him.

    Research Stations try to force me to care about not only Harry whom we only see post credits but also his dead mom whom I’ve never even seen in anything SM and smoke clouds around NY.

    You get a taste of what side missions were supposed to be like (tombstone) but since development probably had to be rushed they ended up being “go beat up these corrupt students four times” (extremely repetitive)

    City feels as dead as it did in the past few games. If you stand still in one area you notice that cars don’t move, NPC don’t have animated mouths, they mostly just freeze up and you hear lines thrown at you from both channels.

    Last but not least, non existing boss battles. The last battle came kind of close but as soon as you die you reload almost right where you died on all of them.

    I wrote this post because I’m very passionate about both SM and this game, and I truly feel Insomniac is the best studio to handle SM games, but I also write it because this game has been getting so many 10/10 reviews as well as praise which I don’t think it deserves. Ultimately this game was a strong 6/10 for me, meaning it was enjoyable and mostly good, just not great. I’m looking forward to their next SM title! Sorry for the long post guys!    … Expand

    Spider-Man arrives after a long hiatus but whilst the visuals are clearly up to the standards we expect from gaming in this era, the game-play itself is very generic and dare I say, last gen.

    Spider-Man is not 'new' to being the 'superhero' so we don't get yet another origin story. However, Spider-Man still has to unlock the map using towers that many Ubisoft Open World games did in the past. For someone that has been Spider-Man in New York for years, its disappointing to see that Spider-Man doesn't know New York until he unlocks the towers. Combat is rip off of Batman Arkham games - albeit with a bit more verticality thanks to the more athletic Spider-Man but I do think its less responsive too. There are some great animations in combat but these have to play out before you can do the next move. This can be frustrating as after a dodge, there is a pause before Spider-man can 'move' again which makes the controls feel unresponsive at times. Sometimes Combat feels great, at other times it feels frustrating, sluggish, unresponsive and for a 'super' hero, known for his strength - which we do see at times (like lifting up cars or collapsed concrete beams), he feels remarkably weak in combat where it can take a few punches to be killed yet some basic goons will take a lot of Spider-Mans attacks to knock them down. Not great when swarmed by 3 or more and dodging leaves you vulnerable to a hit before you can resume your attack.

    On the ground, Spiderman feels very sluggish, not very athletic at all in running. Swinging can feel great when it works but again, there are times when the controls don't seem very responsive. Wall crawling is slow and running up buildings often can seem erratic too. Spider-Man can't climb metal towers either despite the fact that they are like 'ladders' that normal humans wouldn't struggle climbing.

    The open World is well realised but despite being more populated by 'civilians' and vehicles, something the Arkham games weren't, its not particularly interesting (other than visually). The activities and Side Quests are mundane and more filler than anything else. You do have the 'bases' with waves of enemies, random 'crimes' that are repeated in different areas, places of interest to photograph and back-packs to collect. These are not exactly 'skippable' either as you need these to upgrade gadgets and craft suits - how a photograph/backpack helps here, I don't know. Its all just filler, repetitive and/or mundane.

    I won't go into the story to avoid spoilers but there are a lot of scripted elements and a number of QTE's too. You can't come up with your own strategy to beat a boss for example and often rely on dodging until a certain window of opportunity instructs you to use your webs to jam up or swing a heavy object at the boss and repeat until you move to a different phase.

    I know this sounds 'negative' overall but its not all bad. Its very much an 'old' (last gen) game in its format, its game-play and open world but with a quite impressive current gen visual. Its not very innovative and has a lot of aspects that other games get 'criticised' for today - just look at Ubisoft open world games and the general reviewers comments about towers, bases and mundane side quests/activities. I do think that if you are a Spidey fan, as I am, this will score more than the sum of its parts but as 2018 game, its not contemporary with what we expect from other open world games now.

    To address the 'downgrade' issue, its certainly not a bad looking game at all and there are some areas that are far more complex than the E3 image comparisons we have seen. Whilst its true that scene is a downgrade in terms of complexity, I can believe that the change was made more out of man-power, budget and/or time limitations - having to create specific reflections foe every rooftop rather than having one 'generic' reflection and reducing the puddles so that the missing building reflections aren't an issue because of the placement of the smaller puddles was not a decision based on hardware performance. I am sure the PS4 could have handled that scene but Insomniac changed it because they didn't have the time, budget and/or manpower to create bespoke reflections for 'every' puddle, every rooftop etc in the game and it was much easier, as well as take up less space, to make one 'generic' reflection that can be used everywhere.

    Anyway, I am awarding this game a 7 out of 10 as a Spidey fan but you can take 1 off if you are indifferent to Spider-Man. Its a game that 'borrows' from others (Arkham, Ubisoft Open Worlds etc) and wraps them up in some impressive visuals and relying on Spider-Mans popularity to sell rather than being something 'new' and fresh with the Game-play as its major selling point.    … Expand

    Combat is pretty well done, no complaints there. People are saying it get's stale, but I never had that thought. The world is good, but definitely not perfect. The puzzles you need to complete are borderline 3rd grade level, tedious, non interactive and frankly boring... They also don't make much sense logically. However the web slinging and interactions with the world itself are very well done and I was surprised at how much you could do with it.

    If they made the story better and polished the 'theme' of the game, it would probably be a 9 just because the combat and the "I am actually Spiderman" moments.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is currently my game of the year. I struggled a bit at the beginning because I was trying to play it like Arkham, but once I learned to utilize all of my gadgets and focus on the brutes and gun men first, I feel badass taking out 30+ enemies only taking a couple hits. The story is pretty good. It focuses on Mister Negative and his rise to power at first, and then you get the entire Sinister Six in the closing act of the game. Over all a really good game.

    Edit: down from 9/10 to 6/10 because while in the main game you could almost always go in direct or stealth, I always did direct. Now i am doing side missions that require stealth and it is absolute bull. The punch and stealth kill are on the same button, and the game seems to randomly pick which it is going to do. You can kill enemies if you are on a wall and the enemy is close to the edge, but spider-man keeps jumping up on the ledge when I am nowhere close to it and gets me killed. Enemies keep seeing me through walls as well. Great game that was killed with **** stealth mechanics.    … Expand

    The story itself while decent could use some work. This game starts out slow and reaches a peak during the last 5 or so missions. The side character stealth missions are enjoyable if nothing new. The spider-man missions are fun at times but tend to get repetitive due to the game's combat. The combat in the game is Arkham's combat with almost no modification. The main difference is that you have a web shooter that can incapacitate all enemy types provided their on the floor. Nothing new is really added and the game mainly just adds more enemies as the game goes on. All early missions follow a strict formula where you either fight enemies or do some stealth takedowns from above (this is taken from the Arkham series as well). Stealth gameplay is pretty basic so it loses it's charm after the first few times. The main story gets a bit better at the end when it goes into bigger set pieces instead of repeated content used over and over again, however this makes up only about 15-10% of the story overall so the main campaign could have used a bit more polish.

    This game may be worth playing if you really like spider-man (which I do), but as a game it doesn't do anything really well or interestingly so for most there are other games that are better worth your money.    … Expand

    Full review:
    I spent the entire weekend playing this game. I've played most every Spider-Man game since the NES, and I think I even played the DOS version back in the day. Several have been horrible. This one is just meh. It's not a Amazing (pun intended), but it's not trash. The main reason I play Spider-Man games anymore is to see Venom and /or Green Goblin. This game has neither.

    What this game does have is an SJW coating. Almost every new character is a person of color. The only exceptions I saw were a guy with a man bun whose ethnicity I could not determine, a cop who was a jerk, and a football player, who again, was a jerk. Luckily they didn't race/gender swap any existing characters. It also appears that they intentionally hired unattractive actors as Mary Jane is a square jawed, plump faced, ginger without any sex appeal whatsoever. Aunt May isn't meant to be a sex symbol, but she looks like a crack whore in this game. Peter just doesn't look like Peter to me, but he's the least offensive of the main protagonists.

    The main story is too short. All the side missions, backpacks, etc. pad it well, but I was able to get 80+ percent in every area after about 25 hours, and I think you could do just the main story in 10.

    The story deviates widely from any of the comics. It's an interesting take, but the scene after the credits made me strongly dislike the story as a whole. Without spoiling anything, it appears that two characters will be combined in the next game. Looking back on it, the story feels like a Rian Johnson wannabe, where expectations were subverted but not in a good way.

    I would always sigh in frustration every time I was forced to play as anyone other than Peter. I don't like the Miles Morales story line from the comics, and his inclusion in this game just feels forced. Now, there was one section where you get to see Spider-Man in the background doing his thing, and that was pretty fun and creative, but just sneaking around is very counter intuitive to what I expect from an action game. I don't play metal gear solid because I don't wanna hide in the dark, I wanna run up and punch people.

    Now for the good. The combat, albeit almost too easy on normal, is very satisfying. Being able to turn off quick time event prompts, button mashes, and tedious brain teasers was much appreciated. The web swinging never got boring for me. It was nice that with the exception of a few areas, I never had a problem with finding something to swing from. This has been frustrating in other SM games. Wall crawling around corners or trying to jump off a building was a little clunky, but overall it was easy to traverse the city, and it never felt like a chore.

    The graphics are top notch. Detail put into office buildings and apartments is great. Looking through a window you could even see action figures sitting on shelves. Due to the unattractive actors, I almost wish the graphics weren't so good. With the exception of hair, faces are lifelike. Some of the boss fights are stunning, but the main or co-main villain fights have too much dialogue. It causes the story to lag and lose weight. The long section that was shown at e3 was the best part of the game in my opinion, and I was sad that it was spoiled for me beforehand. All the boss fights were far too easy on normal. Perhaps doing side activities leveled me up too much, but I didn't just run around doing everything before doing the story missions either.

    With respect to the glowing reviews this game is receiving, there is a disturbing trend lately where mediocre games are called masterpieces. I love games, I love Insomniac games, and I liked this game, but if I was gonna replay one from this series, it would be Ultimate Spider-Man. Maybe my nostalgia goggles are on, but that game had a great art style, a story that was faithful to the comics, great web swinging, and Venom and Carnage. I wouldn't even say that game is a masterpiece. It's a solid 8/10.    … Expand

    Atrocious. Despite the amazing graphics, there is a lot of bugs and you can't release a game like that. And future updates shouldn't be an excuse. The game looks huge, but there isn't too much to interact with, like the way you do in games like GTA. The game is too simple and will age badly, very soon.

    Great game, im enjoying the story. The customization aspect of the game is down right fun. However, some of the challenges are, to me, pointless and seems nothing more to serve as filler for the great but ultimately, not that long of a story and to justify the exorbitant price. If the challenges weren't necessary to help boost your equipment, i wouldn't bother with them

    Now yes the game is beautiful and yes the web slinging is good (when it wants to). But what is there beyond that? A game that shamelessly rips off an already old and boring formula, with scripted boss battles and a ton of QTEs. What's worse is how it repeatedly ruins it's flow by forcing you to play as MJ and Miles in some of the worst stealth sequences I've seen in gaming. Literally nobody cares about those characters, they're trash...Period. Lastly, outside of the Taskmaster challenges, every other side activity is boring AF. Chasing pigeons, taking photos and running through clouds LOL.. You can argue about the base capturing horde mode, but to me all it does is make the already repeptitive combat, more repetitive.

    It really pains me to see how gaming has turned out to be today.. But what hurts me the most is seeing other games like Dragon Quest XI get overshadowed by casual trash such as this. Well it is what it is I guess. High five to all the real gamers out there though, the ones that don't bite on the overmarketed casual garbage and know what the **** gaming is about.    … Expand

One mission is literally Peter going to his aunt's work, finding her office, and sleeping on her couch.

    If you played Arkham Asylum and thought, "Why aren't Bruce Wayne and Alfred in this more? I want to go to some board meetings at Wayne Enterprises!" or "Not enough unskippable dialogue!" and "I wish all the cool Batman villains were NOT in this," buy Spider-Man for PS4.

    There are fun parts! The facsimile of Manhattan is great! Sure, they give up around 34th Street, you can't go to Brooklyn or Queens, but it's very cool. Taking pictures of the monuments and landmarks is great, but what's that, a couple hours? Climbing up buildings is great. Web swinging is great - certainly better than sitting in traffic in awful games like Grand Theft Auto. But it wears out its welcome soon. And travel is awkward. There's no Stop button. Every button does something, and that gets old _fast_. The combat is the same. There's about 20 different commands to memorize (until you upgrade your skills and there are 30) which, again, if you think sounds fun, go for it. The actual action of the game is Spider-Man jumping and dodging away from stock, faceless villains with bats and guns. About a quarter of the way through, they get nicer masks, electric bats and bazookas. You can't make this up. There's literally more variety of enemies in Mega Man 1 stages.

    Spider-Man's famous villains are all constantly mentioned, but you're... not allowed to fight them. You just hear about their alter egos in the story.

    Spider-Man feels half-done. New York is not fleshed out. You hear the same banter on the streets over and over. The crowds in Assassins' Creed are more realistic, and that was ten years ago. The game even tells you you're not supposed to be on the streets. Also who knew so many people were getting robbed on rooftops? And never the ones where there's a pool or a restaurant -- just the ordinary, boring rooftops. The story feels like a prelude to one where Osborn becomes the Green Goblin. The main villain here, Mister Negative, is just lame.

    I'm sure after all these "TEN OUTTA TEN"s there will be a sequel which somehow the critics feel has done the impossible and gone to eleven, or they will admit the faults then.    … Expand

    They could have spent more time getting the combat to connect better instead of making things look good.

    Textures look funky and not as smooth. It also makes the combat look dull.

    It still overall looks cleaner then the past games but plays objectively worse and most of the bad stuff from past games returns.

    Web swinging and momentum feels the worst it has been.
    Can and object swinging was a terrible idea and adds little to the game.
    Cobbling poor ideas from Arkhams like hacking and Ubisoft landscape unlocks was poor also choice.

    This developer could have done a bit more with this game. I suspect this was just bought and slightly reworked from the previous game.

    Combat is also great. It feels satisfying to hit someone and figuring out ways to use your gadgets and the environment to build up your combo counter is a lot of fun!

    That being said, it's not a perfect game and I don't feel like it completely deserves the 9's and 9.5's or higher that most professional reviewers gave it. It has a lot of great points for sure. Good graphics, voice acting, character models, sound design combat and, like I mentioned, swinging through the city. But a lot of things also sucked the enjoyment out of the game for me.

    My biggest pet peeves have to be the forced stealth based story mission where you play as either MJ or Miles. I can remember one or two missions that were tense and had me on the edge of my seat...but most of them just brought the pacing down of what is an exciting, superhero adventure.

    Aside from that, it suffers from the same routine as a lot of open world game. Go to a tower, free up a section of the map, see where collectibles and missions are. Traversing through New York via your webs doesn't make this as much of a chore, fortunately. But a lot of side-content, especially when it comes to beating up Thugs and other nasties that pop up later in the game IS a chore. The Research Stations probably offer the most variety, as do the normal Side Quests. Though I do wish the latter was more exciting and had you deal with more of the enemies in Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery. Especially later on in the game.

    Taking enemies out the stealthy way also isn't really rewarding. The mooks don't react in a satisfying way, like they do in the Arkham games were they become scared and unpredictable. And it's pretty useless when you are doing Base missions where the second wave appears and spots you immediately.

    Boss fights also tend to follow a pattern, but they are fun and exciting at least. That being said, I do wish said Bosses got more time to shine. Near the end of the game some of Spider-Man's more famous villains pop up...and they get very little screen time before they face you two at a time. Meaning that you wipe out four out of the six baddies relatively quickly.

    Only two of the villains really get a chance to shine and it is done well! Especially the main villain. You, the player, probably know who he is and that you will eventually face him. But the game did an excellent job of making you wonder:"But when is the reveal going to come for Spider-Man?"

    All in all, Insomniac did a fantastic job handling Spider-Man. It has its fault, but the game feels great to play and it tells an amazing story with good characters. It definitely managed to tug at my heartstrings too, especially the last few scenes.

    My only complaint about the story has to be the whole romantic subplot that's going on with MJ and Peter. Mainly because the arguments they have have been done to death in almost every other movie, comic, book, tv-show or videogame when it's about dating a superhero. But it seems to have been resolved, so hopefully I won't be bothered by that in a possible sequel.

There are also about 700 bad guy nests to clear. This game was designed on the philosophy of doubling down on Ubisoft's Far Cry model. While being Spidey is great, nothing else is.

    On the one hand it feels amazing, the gameplay really stands out, the combat is fun and intuitive (feels a lot like the Arkham games), mobility is great especially with the sense of speed, there's a variety of activities and you get to play as Spider-Man! One of the greatest comic book characters of all time!

    On the other hand, if it wasn't for that last point above - Spider-Man - the game would feel very old and dated.

    The game almost constantly chucks new collectibles at you; every main missions seems to activate some new collectible ranging from taking photos and collecting backpacks, to chasing down criminals that have popped up little outposts around the city.

    Not only that but some of the collectibles are poor - such as grabbing a random rucksack that's lying around, going to a location and looking for a small statue hidden in the distance, taking a photo of a random landmark... But you very much forgive the game for this because the gameplay you use to gather these is so fun!

    The main campaign is really good - there are some neat set pieces and some truly memorable boss fights, also some of the writing is excellent and it definitely gets you excited about a potential follow up!

    The reason this review is so tricky for me, is because if you literally re-skinned this entire game to be something like a Prototype or Infamous follow up, or a new IP entirely it would score a 6/10, but because it's the webslinger himself you can't help but love the game. I'd give this an 8/10 easily as a result.

    So ultimately:

    6/10 if you're not too invested in Spider-Man or don't care for comics
    8/10 if you adore Marvel and Spider-Man    … Expand

    Una porquería de juego, una copia barata del Batman arkham, pesimos gráficos y lleno de bugs y demasiado fácil

    These Miles parts and early MJ were really bad ,and the Bioshock puzzles were just a boring filler even the devs are aware of it and made it optional, MJ got a LOT better in her last 2 missions the rest of the game is solid , BUT I think the AI is joke a both in combat and "stealth" witch can use more polish and creativity in the future , and absolutely NOBODY saw that ending coming , goodThese Miles parts and early MJ were really bad ,and the Bioshock puzzles were just a boring filler even the devs are aware of it and made it optional, MJ got a LOT better in her last 2 missions the rest of the game is solid , BUT I think the AI is joke a both in combat and "stealth" witch can use more polish and creativity in the future , and absolutely NOBODY saw that ending coming , good game though .… 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.
