Overall, getting a 100% completion in the DLC clocked me in at around four hours, with the story taking about two-to-three to work through. Given the quality of both the story and the side content, picking it up and its follow-ups too should be a no-brainer. Or at least it was for me. But then, I’m the sick fool currently playing through a new game plus on Ultimate difficulty. I’ll let you know how that goes when we check in on our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man next time.
Overall if you’re looking for more Spider-Man, The Heist is a great beginning to the DLC storyline that will continue over the next two months. It’s critical that you know that you are playing DLC one of three when you play The Heist because it leaves you with a bit of a cliffhanger and it’s not a self contained story, as some might have expected. With the arrival of Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s going to be tough to escape the old west to finish out this story, but Spidey’s latest leaves you wondering where they will go next and what trouble New York is in for.
As a DLC, The Heist can be considered a good title, though it could have been better. The Heist offers just enough to engage and keep the players thirsty for the next two DLCs.
The Heist is a good reason to sway in the skyscrapers of New York again, despite its lack of innovation, because it has a well-argued story that presents a very interesting character like Black Cat, showing another side of Peter Parker and his relationship with MJ, accompanied by the excellent gameplay that made this game of Insomniac were considered one of the best in the catalog of the PlayStation 4.
As the first piece of DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man, The Heist offers a few exciting story missions and some very cool extras. That being said, it's very short-lived and the fact that it ends on a cliffhanger is sure to annoy many fans.
The Heist has us still hungry for more. The first Spider-Man DLC is a very short experience with a predictible ending, and despite the well-written Black Cat addition and some good ideas, it’s pretty disappointing.
More of the same. All of the content feels recycled from a main game you're probably already burnt out on anyway. It doesn't help that the few new bits – suits and an enemy type – feel lazy and uninspired. The only reason to grab this DLC is for more of the story, which is as well done as ever, if a bit short – clocking in at around three hours max. If you're patient, grab it in a future sale just so you can see what happens next.
