Honestly this was better than I remember! The gameplay is a pretty decent improvement off the original which I already liked a lot. I think the side content is actually better and more original, really appreciate the removal of the towers and the way the crimes are reworked. Combat wise I think Miles’s Venom abilities are great way to distinguish himself from Peter while still keeping things engaging and fun. And that’s the biggest thing I want to give this game credit for, it has a pretty distinct personality when compared to Peter’s game and I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, they really dropped the ball with the story imo. It’s pretty good on paper but in execution it’s so rushed and I found myself unable to form any kind of connection with much happening on screen, super disappointing coming off of the original game which had an emotional powerhouse of a story. Very mediocre on that front, but a ton of fun everywhere else, honestly I’d say I enjoyed playing this more than the first.
