This was a safe, enjoyable, turn-your-brain-off-and-punch-bad-guys sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man. Will you have fun playing it? You will! But it will not blow your mind (although some of the set-piece moments are pretty spectacular) if you've played the first one and Miles Morales. It's more Spider-Man, and if that is what you want I'd recommend it! Swinging around and the new wing-suit feel great to use and were the best parts of the game for me. There was lots of cringe-inducing dialogue (especially from Peter) and Kraven feels a little under-baked as a villain here, but Venom was really cool! I'll admit whenever I was forced to switch to playing as Mary Jane with her taser I audibly groaned, but other than that it's a pretty consistently good time!
