    Spider-Man is a splendidly tuned action game with a stunning story, great action and gameplay mechanisms that won’t bore you for a moment. You should not miss out on this trip among comic heroes. It's a bomb! [Issue#289]

    Spider-Man exceeded my expectations in every single way. It has its low points, but they are so minor, they become insignificant in the face of its many positive points. Spider-Man is the PS4's second system seller in 2018.

    The game not only fulfills what it promised, but it gives us an original story worthy of a Marvel movie.

    Spider-Man is probably Insomniac’s best game, and the best Spider-Man game to date. A great adventure everyone can enjoy and fans of the superhero will love.

    The Wall Crawler’s open world doesn’t consistently deliver the thrilling moments of its main campaign, but the foundation laid here is undoubtedly a spectacular one.

    In terms of story-telling and direction this might as well be an addition to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe with its high production values. But as soon as you stray away from the main plot, you’ll land in an open world that is mostly beautiful to look at, but where some positive elements meet quite a few that are only average at best. Nonetheless a great superhero romp throughout.

    This game shows tremendous love for all things Spider-Man, and the ending packs a punch he would be proud of. But Insomniac relies too much on its hero to elevate the world built around him, with the result that the game wears thin some time before its powerful conclusion.

    Honestly this is one of if not the best Spider-Man games ever made. I’m not saying it is flawless as nothing is but it is very close to it. IHonestly this is one of if not the best Spider-Man games ever made. I’m not saying it is flawless as nothing is but it is very close to it. I would personally also say it is better than the Dark Knight games and the classic Spider-Man 2 game but that is just my personal opinion. This is a definite must play for any PlayStation users and for XBOX users I would recommend watching walkthroughs or getting a PlayStation 4 console as this is an amazing game and a must play for all superhero fans.

    The store really hit home. Gameplay is fun but the open would could use some more activities.

    TL;DR - Fun as hell. That's all there is to it.

    +PROS+

    · Mechanically incredible. Web movement as a whole feels like some developer's magnum opus. The web swinging is so immersive and in-game New York so beautiful you can practically feel the wind as you steer Spider Man around the city. Combat can be 'somewhat buggy' at times, but generally speaking the amount of fun you'll have taking on groups of 10+ enemies and dodging everything coming your way will make up for it.

    · The stunning movement mechanics make literally everything in the entire game fun as hell. Where a normal RPG would struggle to motivate you to go pick up four of the easiest to find items in the entire game and deliver it to some schmuck, This title has you going around to 1000 different backpacks Peter Parker hid for himself around the city with pleasure, and you don't even know why the hell he'd waste a thousand perfectly decent backpacks.

    · The difficulty feels tuned - not oppressive. It's hard at times, but it's just not that kind of game and with your character's increased ability later in the game as skill points unlock, you'll still be challenged even with some pretty imbalanced power-ups.

    · The story is pretty compelling. Some rough spots, specifically side quests, but overall well above average.

    -CONS-

    · The game goes by surprisingly fast for what it is. Don't expect to put 100+ hours into the game. I'm pretty sure most average players can probably get fairly close to 100% in 50 or so hours if they're being relatively efficient.

    · While they can still be fun, the fetch quests start to pile up pretty quickly and can burn you out fairly quickly.

    · The non-Spider Man quests are absolute trash.

I know how that sounds, it's just that feeling you get from it that it was destined to suceed on every front and Spider Man always felt campy...

    To be fair I can feel that Insomniac did though about it and tried as hard as they could to make the game give these cozy, personal and not too serious vibes but you can only do so much in an AAA open world game.

    I don't really like the menus, they are generic in their nature, just like many other AAA games and frankly, the font is sometimes too small. But my biggest problem with the game is probably combat, I really don't like this Batman style fighting, its not that fun and gets tiring quickly.

    But looking at the game as objectively as I can, they did such a great job in so many areas. The city is amazing and its open world nature did not stop the devs from putting fairly satisfying amount of details in the streets, the animations and web swinging - simply fantastic. The characters look really good and not like empty shells. Spiderman does his usual little jokes here and there, even menus, as generic as they are in their form are full of little details that give them just that little bit of personality. I don't think Spiderman fans could ask for anything better really. But somehow I had norę fun playing Spiderman for PS1.
