i know spidey has a no kill rule
but can we make one exception for screwball?

I LOVE RUSSIAN WOMEN :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob:
Adorei tudo nessa DLC, a forma de como eles desenvolvem os personagens, a gameplay, os vilões, a história, tudo nessa DLC é feito com maestria, e ainda deixando o gostinho de quero mais.
they did yuri so dirty
Not going to Like I forgot this part of the story, like how do you fall so flat after the main games story.
New Locations and Enemies were fun I guess.
New Locations and Enemies were fun I guess.
The final chapter fumbles the landing of a largely risk-averse stunt.
With Chapter 3 focusing on Silver Sable, the plot here has a foundation to build upon this time. It's not great, but it's better than Black Cat's story in Chapter 1 or Hammerhead's introduction in Chapter 2. There's a clear motive for Sable, there's a bite-sized character arc for her, and Spider-Man feels right to tag along for the ride.
That said, there's hardly anything I found interesting with Hammerhead. His final showdown didn't pack the same robotically-enhanced punch as fights in the base game, largely because Spider-Man and Hammerhead mean very little to each other. By the end of this chapter I grew completely disinterested in the mechanized mafia theming. In the heat of fast-moving turf battles, enemies blur together as grey and white geometric blobs. And speaking of combat, I actively avoided what I could to streamline my time with this DLC. That's usually not a good sign.
Yuri's true motives are revealed here, albeit with the fanfare of an eyebrow raise and a shrug. While Yuri's typically been relegated to off-screen support, her side story also unfolding in the background feels lazy. Other minor story beats are thrown in to wrap up loose ends and set up future games – all with varying degrees of success.

Silver Lining ties up all the loose ends of the Spider-Man DLC Saga in a nice way. Silver Sable and the story surrounding her was good. There is also at least one new interesting side activity. But main missions continue to not be very well and the overall story is weak because of Hammerhead's emptiness as a villain.
The Full Review(No Spoilers for THIS DLC, Spoilers for Main Game and Previous DLC's):
Unlikely Friendships
The end is here. Marvel's Spider-Man releases it's final DLC Silver Lining and this chapter of Insomniac's history closes. And, this DLC is just okay. It's a little bit better than Turf Wars but nowhere close to the main game or The Heist.
The story here begins with Silver Sable coming back to get her weapons and equipment. She is furious and wants to punish Hammerhead. Her road crosses with Spider-Man and they start a friendship, maybe temporary.
The Heist was Black Cat's story, Turf Wars was Yuri Watanabe's story and Silver Lining is definitely Silver Sable's story. Her scenes with Spider-Man are great. And their relationship develops in a nice way. Voice actress Nichole Elise does a great job too.
However, exactly like Turf Wars, this DLC has a villain problem. Hammerhead returns as the big bad here but he has even less screen time in this story. He is a very empty villain and definitely dragged down both this and the previous DLC.
There are some other characters as well that I don't want to talk about. I just want to say that don't worry, this final DLC ties up ALL the loose ends. And it does a great job at that.
Main missions of this DLC are similar to Turf Wars. There are some cool missions and moments here and there but most of them are not very good. Side missions however, there is one interesting thing there.
First up, we have more crimes and more Screwball Missions. As well as 3 new outposts that are fun. I say this because Turf Wars' outposts were too difficult and not very fun in my opinion. This DLC's outposts are much better.
The interesting side activity here are Crime Scenes. These are very similar to The Heist's "Stolen Art Pieces". Each Crime Scene will give you a voice recording. There are 9 of them in total and each unlocks a piece of the puzzle.
Stolen Art Pieces went to a very interesting place with telling us more about Felicia's dad, the original Black Cat. Crime Scenes are even more connected to the main story and definitely sets up a future villain. I don't want to spoil but the only thing I can say is that you should do these. Definitely, definitely do them. Even if you don't do any other side activities, do the Crime Scene collectibles.

And so the DLC is complete, and I will likely never play Marvel's Spider-man again.
This is actually the worst and yet the best chapter in the DLC, featuring the most interesting game-play out of the bunch but completely botching the narrative. All the build up in chapter 1 pays off with just a single cutscene with the black cat, which is immeasurably disappointing. All the character development with Yuri in chapter 2 gets no payoff, and Hammerhead's coolness is completely gone in chapter 3, he now just wants to kill you, lol. What you get is a return of Sable where she and spider-man repeatedly make stupid decisions until they beat the big bad guy and call it a day, hell MJ doesn't even get anything to do. This is just a complete narrative flop all around I believe. I honestly can't see this being a satisfying conclusion for anyone.
The open-world activities still suck and feature the same problems as the last two DLC's. As for main gameplay you've got more car chases, more beating up pools of bad guys, and a new jetpack guy that again, doesn't shake things up too much. The boss-fight at the end is also incredibly lame, same as the one in chapter 2, it's simply mind-numbing. Oh you've also got MORE trailing missions that are somehow worse that Assassin's Creed trailing missions. I think all of this just shows how limiting and lacking in depth this games combat system really is.
So that's it, I went through these before going into Miles Morales cause it's nearly winter and that game has snow! These DLC's have been immensely disappointing on all fronts, but I think they really just show off how basic this game is, how there is no depth to Marvel's Spider-Man. I already wrote about this extensively in my review for the main game, but this game is killed by how casual it is. It's a pretty thing to look at and not much else unfortunately, I cannot imagine anyone replaying the base game or any of these DLC's as the only enjoyment I see from these games are their initial cinematic thrill, almost as if I'm watching a movie. Any open world content lacks passion or creative thought, it's either mindlessly attacking people or mindlessly collecting pointless things. I doubt Miles Morales or Spider-Man 2 will fix this underlying problem, but hopefully they've got something for me to love.

Probably my favourite of the 3 DLCs in terms of the pure story content, with it serving as a great ending to both Yuri and Sable's arcs. While it wasn't the best in terms of gameplay, the final showdown with Hammerhead at the tail end of the campaign is huge on spectable, and it puts a nice little bow on the game's story.
I hope Screwball dies in a fire.

so now my playthrough of the dlc is done
the story/villain was never the dlc's strong suit. hammerhead is pretty basic, though once you suspend your disbelief for what he turns into its a pretty fun conclusion.
the banter between sable and spider man are great, honestly the dialogue is the best part of all 3 dlcs. black cat survived but then disappears immediately after, kinda shot that plotpoint in the foot. there was some worldbuilding with sable's country too, i dont remember it being touched upon in miles' story but it would be nice in the sequel, with what mj was up to over there i mean. ive honestly got really reattached to the insomniac versions of these characters over the replay, man...
the dlc has fewer setpieces and feels more like a confident farewell to the game(not to mention the dlc formula/mission structure. doesn't dilly dally with its side content) theres no standout fight besides maybe the sable team up fight. but that doesn't really matter because its a solid experience throughout its runtime. the difficulty isn't as cranked up as it was in turf wars which is kinda disappointing. and the final boss is pretty fun, maybe beats out turf wars's hammerhead fight.
i still prefer turf wars because of the cement fight, tone, and boss but silver lining was a great finale to this replay. miles is next.

great way to end of the DLCs!
this was so boring i really hated it
Not much to say about this. It finishes a story that didn't have very high stakes anyways, or at least didn't feel that way. Silver Sable is as boring as Hammerhead.
Completed Everything in 4:20 BLAZE IT.
The Spider-Man PS4 DLC has all been leading up to this. The first episode’s promise was slightly squandered by the second episode’s tame outing and now it’s just up to Silver Lining, the final installment, to neatly wrap up the post-release content and lay Spider-Man out to rest. Silver Lining does give the webslinger the ending he deserves but is more impressive in how it also elegantly sets up a sequel.

hammerhead sucks as a villain
Better than part two and a pretty decent conclusion to the DLC, but doesn't really do anything exceptional especially with its incredibly weak villain (also seriously fuck screwball)
this was fucking dog shit
el mejor de los tres sin duda
la trama está mejor cohesionada, silver sable con spiderman hace una química que, aunque nada nueva, es muy divertida y entrañable. peter queriendo chocarle la mano y sable evitándolo hasta que cede con una sonrisilla, VIVO POR ESAS COSAS
la trama cierra las cosas y aunque les salva un deus ex machina de cojones me la suda
además es el ÚNICO de los tres dlcs que tiene contenido de relleno del mapa para el mundo abierto que MERECE LO MÁS MÍNIMO la pena y da aunque sea 1 poco de ganas de completarlo porque de verdad que en el resto solo hay basura
seguir las grabaciones sin sentido de un asesino hasta el clímax para entender qué pasó con yuri tras el otro dlc... puf, nada que sea una locura, pero mola bastante. es como los recuerdos del zelda si estos buscasen respetar su propia narrativa y sus propios golpes de trama
en fin. me ha gustao. y aquí me despido de este juegazo, nos veremos en el de miles eventualmente!

Not hitting the same highs as the core game, not hitting the same lows as the previous DLC adventures. Silver Lining bravely asks: "Are throwback mafia dons with indestructible exoskeletons cool?" The answer is and always will be "it varies," however, it's par for the course when it comes to the antics of everyone's friendly neighborhood web-head. The dynamic between Peter and Sable shines through here, easily the best character writing of the DLC campaigns, though the length of the add-on does truncate their development somewhat. It almost makes the endless barrage of repetitive combat encounters worth enduring. (You know me, I'm all abou that sweet-sweet NARRATIVE DIRECTION.) Regardless, after Turf Wars, it's nice to end on a (relative) high note. Felicia's back, too!
Since the mafia plot(the interesting stuff) ended in the last dlc this one focuses on the big bad Hammerhead except he's very one note and boring. They also bring back Silver Sable who is cool except they make her redo her mini arc from the base game for some reason. Remember the set up and motivations Yuri got in the last dlc? Insomniac doesn't, all her content is relegated to side content and while I do think as side content its done decently it ends up just being sequel bait which makes you wonder what was the point of setting up her rivalry with Hammerhead if she doesn't even get to interact with him in this DLC or help take him down. Not a very good end to what could have been a good dlc saga

The final chapter of The City That Never Sleeps DLC is pretty good as well. I wish Yuri was included in more of the actual story instead of the side missions, but I'm glad she's in here, especially considering it helps her set up as a villain in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. It was cool to see Silver Sable again, although was it just me or was Spider-Man too jokey in this? Like I know saying quips is his thing, but after losing Yuri as his partner, Hammerhead still on the loose, and Sable being... well...Sable, it feels like he did not take things as seriously as he should have. I don't know, just something small I noticed.
8 / 10.

silver sable is boring hammerhead is boring and im fucking sick of screwball challenges. cool suits
esperava mais pra um desfecho
Silver Lining concluded The City That Never Sleeps DLC, Silver Sable making a return and joining in on an uneasy alliance with Spider-Man. Sable carried it, her no-nonsense personality the highlight. While Hammerhead may have still been underwhelming and not a great antagonist, it was still worth the playthrough to end off a great main game. At times it even proved more of a challenge with increased difficulty, obviously assuming the player to be familiar with the skillset.
As with the other chapters, not really anything special, but the story developments are nice.
The weakest of the DLC entries. More Hammerhead crap. More screwball crap. Lame.
Sable is in love I know it
rarely good, silver sable is cool though
I love Silver Sable
