Minus half a star for the copaganda parts being how you reveal stuff on the map, but without that, this would be my perfect superhero game. Swinging around the city is some of the most fun I've ever had with movement in a game, you almost never want to use fast travel because of it. The music and bright aesthetic also give it a great superhero vibe. This game kind of ruined the Arkham series for me, because I played this first, and it plays like Arkham but better. The different web abilities are very fun to play around with, diving in from the sky and immediately sticking guys to walls once you get powerful enough. Even the story is a great Spider-Man story, which cares just as much about getting Peter Parker right as it does about getting Spider-Man right. When I finished this game I was already craving more, which is one of the best complements I can give, especially since this game has a decent length to it already, especially if you get the DLC.
