Wow, what a title, it took everything from the previous titles and made it so much more. With the original spider-man PS4 I felt strongly that it was a fantastic take on the hero with great swinging mechanics but was weighed down by the simplicity of the combat that quickly got repetitive. You had the inclusion of many more gadgets and suit powers as a means to try to keep the gameplay loop satisfying but it failed at that in my opinion because the fundamentals of the combat remained the same, but I will say that combat wasn't completely terrible still
This game, however, revamped this, fixing the gadgets to 4 using the right bumper and face buttons to simplify it while also fixing their usefulness because they all feel equally useful compared to its predecessor. Furthermore the title incoperates 2 playable spider-men each with their own unique abilities that they will develop throughout the game at certain points in the story as a means to provide an easy-to-understand and impactful fresh approach to the combat while building on the fundamentals of the combat itself by including brand new types of attacks you have to adapt and tackle to avoid damage, such as attacks you will have to jump over or parry. This took a while for me to adapt to which I loved because I felt like any wrong input and I would be punished which added a whole new level of challenge that I enjoyed on the spectacular difficulty.
The story of this title was great, the voice acting was just even more incredible, the only thing i was a bit ehh about was how they moved into the final act of the game but just outside of that, they absolutely crushed it with this game.
The side quests are just wonderful as well! I will not be going into them in this review but they're just a treat with some fantastic storytelling.
The slight issue I had with the game was just going through a lot of bugs that would make me have to restart the game or load checkpoint, even worst once load a manual save.
But overall: This is just a spectacular game, a spectacular Spider-Man you could say.
