This game offers much of what makes the first Spider-Man game good: a flow state when swinging that is pretty much unmatched, a fun and diverse moveset for combat that allows for fantastic player expression, and boss fights that feel greatly improved from the first game as well. While the story doesn't quite hit the emotional truck-hitting weight of the first game, it does manage to tell an engaging story that had me hooked in the whole way through.

While that's all pretty great, and while I would consider the content of the main story worth the play, I do feel like this game has less side content than the previous entries. Whether that is up to putting more into the main story I'm not quite sure, but I did feel myself finding less and less to do outside of the normal crimes towards the end of the game, which I think will hamper some fun of getting around the city from the earlier sections of the game.
