2023 goty, wish it was longer. Had so much fun playing this one. Gameplay is buttery smooth, graphics look amazing, and the story is awesome. It’s everything you could want from a new Spider-Man game. Fluid combat is a very important thing to me and Insomniac never disappoints. Swinging is 2X faster and never felt better. I’m a performance over fidelity guy and the game still looked great so I wouldn’t even bother with fidelity. The story had me engaged from start to finish. I love Spider-Man but don’t even know all the different villains from the comics so I appreciate Insomniac bringing out these enemies for me to learn more about. I really felt for the characters. Hearing evil Peter was funny as hell but it was fucking awesome when I heard the venom sounds coming from the controller in combat. I only have a few nitpicks like bugs, length, and certain side missions. I encountered quite a few bugs throughout the game that made me restart my checkpoint such as getting stuck in certain spots and Spider-Man turning into a white cube, funny enough. A few of the side missions were boring such as the Brooklyn Visions and the catching bees. I don’t know, it just kinda took me out of the fast paced story. I know I’m not forced to do them, so I saved them for after I finished the story. And last but not least, the length. I really wish the story was longer. It felt about half the length of the first game which is kinda sad since they improved so much. Hoping for some dlc!
