I was very hyped for this considering how much I loved the previous games, and I think Insomniac once again delivered in spades. This takes full advantage of the PS5's capabilities to do some incredible action set pieces, with a lot happening on the screen in a big and stunning map to explore. The combat is just as good as the last one with some significant improvements, the new skills system was a nice change, there are more enemies to face and the boss battles are epic. There's plenty of well incorporated fan services, the MJ segments are much better, there's tons of surprises and a great amount of suits to use.

As for the story, I thought it was a great tell with some of the best Spider-Man content ever, particularly the stuff with Kraven and Venom that ar the best they've ever been out of the comics. There are great stakes that keep getting higher, it's very well paced throughout, the characters are sper charming and the humor hits just as well as the dramatic parts. My only complaint about the whole game is that I wished it was longer, because I had fabuluos week playing the game and I wished there was a little more in it once I got that Platinum. Nonetheless this was a fantastic sequel that does everything right and a must play for every PS5 owner. It's also a great system seller that shows you what you can get out of that new console.
