Not without its issues (The Miles Morales storyline and some narrative decisions in the third act are a little sketchy) but this is easily the best game in the series just on a gameplay level alone.
Insomniac can sometimes struggle to tell an engaging story all the way through to the end, but man, they consistently nail those big emotional moments every single time. The side stories here are wonderful and show just how the developers love and understand what Spider-Man should symbolise as a character. Yuri Lowenthal also absolutely nails the role of Peter once again.

As soon as that first boss started blasting Nine Inch Nails, I knew this would be my kind of game. Such an absolute blast from start to finish. The combat is incredibly snappy, and after trudging through The Callisto Protocol at the same time as this and having to deal with endless amounts of plodding animations and lumbering gameplay, that was needed. After this and The Evil Within 2, Tango Gameworks is quietly becoming one of the best developers working today.
Got all the way to the final boss and had such a miserable time trying to complete the game that I just gave up. Callisto Protocol is a very visually pretty game, but once you go beyond the looks, you're left with a confused mishmash of ideas and not much else. What an utter waste of potential.
