I was frustrated when i started the game, struggling with controls my muscle memory kept pushing me towards Arkham games.. but as soon as i learned the controls I got better with swinging and combat controls, and the game just exploded, now chasing those pigeons is so much fun.. freaking amazing! 20% story completed, amazing story moment, the only thing I hate is some Mary Jane moments and weird cinematic cuts but those are just nitpicking.

They copy and paste a couple of JPEGs for the interior shots. The tables and the beds that are supposed to be inside the window look like they're glued to the wall. It's really funny.



 

 

After upgrading the point jump and a few other web swinging abilities the webswinging is excellent. I'm no longer finding myself clumsily landing on a rooftop or wallrunning, and then losing momentum.

At first I didn't understand how to finish enemies by webbing them up for the cops. Now I get it though. If an enemy is stumbling from an attack or airborne, and if said enemy is near a wall they can be webbed to the wall. If an enemy is knocked down they can be webbed to the floor. Finally, you can just grab and swing webbed up enemies into a wall to glue them to the all. Webbing enemies for the cops to pick up builds super meter, or combos, and is just fun as hell.

I'm loving all the little gadgets that you can equip. Impact webbing is the best, since it quickly takes out enemies, and is really useful for stealth. Speaking of stealth...

Finally realized all the different ways to take an enemy down in stealth. Spidey can't wait around corners ala Splinter Cell/Batman, but he can do takedowns while crawling under the side of a building, web hanging, and perched on a rooftop.

Clicking R3 shows you bonus mission objectives, but one of them is just ridiculous, and not fun to attempt. That is trying to do 10 instances of swinging from your webs, and kicking the enemies. It's just not worth it, and gets in the way of combat too much. Otherwise bonus objectives are fun.

I really like how Insomniac did their own take on the Spider-Man universe. It's just so refreshing to not be bogged down by decades of lore. I love that this game's Peter Parker sounds and acts so much like the Peter Parker from the 90's TV show. IMO the Tom Holland, and Andrew Garfield versions of the character are not Spider-Man. Insomniac's version makes the current movie versions of Spider-Man look like amateur filmmaking.

Day time looks great. Night time is super bad. Its like Watch Dogs level imo. Other than that the game has been pretty damn fun.

Not the biggest Spider-Man fan but I just love the game. A lot of fun, plays very fluid and looks gorgeous even on base PS4.

Didn't really notice it until you mentioned it, wonder why they seem to have put less development-time into night-time or maybe there is a bug somewhere. No matter, like i said day is more fun. It's Spider-Man not Batman



Very good from what I've played so far.

Oh I agree. Day time looks amazing. I love it, but I don't think there's an excuse for what night time looks like.  I'm going to play some more of the game later today, definitely can see why it got such high scores.

It's definitely a game where you can see what Insomniacs priorities were, makes for a great but at times uneven game. It's a good foundation for the next one
