The game’s open world is massive but not overly filled with mundane crap to do. I would often forget about the other content just to go roam the neighbourhood in style. It’s borderline addictive, all thanks to the game’s amazing controls, sense of speed and movement. Whilst Miles does appear, His standalone expansion is unfortunately not on PC just yetĪs for gameplay… what ekse is there to say other than it is way better than I ever expected? Swinging through the New York streets brings back that absolute nostalgia of playing Spider-Man 2 (One of the best licensed video games of all time) way back in the PS2 days.

All of this leads to a phenomenal third act that doesn’t hold back at all. Martin Li as Mister Negative is a strong point and I’m glad we got a relatively unknown main villain mixed in with the fan favourites. Yet Insomniac know when to pull back for some dramatic reveals. The cheesy one-liners and ability to make light of some dire situations are always a plus. A refreshing take on a character whilst keeping a lot of his traits in-tack. It’s great to have a Peter Parker that is much more experienced, skipping a lot of the backstory that everyone knows anyway. The plotline is actually one of Insomniac’s Spider-Man‘s strongest points. This makes way for a new faction known as the Demons, led by a fairly recent addition to the Spider-Man roster, Mister Negative.

With Fisk gone, there is a power vacuum and gang leaders take this opportunity to take power. After Fisk is finally arrested and sent over to the Raft Supermax prison, things take a turn for the worst. With the experience under his belt, the game beging with an assault on one of his greatest enemies: Wilson Fisk, also known as the Kingpin, acting as a tutorial boss of sorts.

He has already dealt with a bunch of his own villains including the likes of Mysterio, Vulture and Rhino, to name a few. Peter Parker is already a few years into his Spider-Man journey by the time the plot of the game kicks off.
