Insomniac, you crazy bastards. Ya done it again!
This is the best Spider-Man game ever made. It tops the first one insanely. From the story, the visuals, to the web swinging. Everything about this is top fucking notch.
The main story had me on edge throughout the majority of playing it and it gave me in my opinion, the best version of Kraven we've ever had. He's such a beast in this game and I love him. Same for Venom too. Harry is just sick as Venom and I kinda prefer him over Eddie Brock, not gonna lie. (Suck it, Tom Hardy). And I love how they hype up the next game with Norman. Ooooooh! Shit's gonna get even more nuts when Goblin comes out to play. So hyped!
The two Spider-Men work great. I will say however, Miles to me is the superior Spider-Man out of the two. Peter is great with the symbiote and all but I found Miles to be more fun to play as. And his story was just brilliant in this. Peter had a good story too with Harry and MJ but I really enjoyed Miles' story more in my opinion.
However, Yuri Lowenthal gives an amazing, spectacular, ULTIMATE performance as Peter and he is so fucking good when the symbiote takes over. Channeling his inner Christopher Daniel Barnes and Josh Keaton, Yuri really unleashes his full raw talent as Symbiote Spider-Man. Such terrific voice acting and worthy of several awards.
The boss battles are way better in this game. They actually have health bars this time! Woo-hoo! And they're more strategic which I love. My favourite boss fight? Probably Lizard or Venom. They were awesome.
Speaking of Venom some more. HOLY SHIT! You actually get to play as him in this game for a mission and I am already begging for a Venom DLC right fucking now. That mission was amazing where you fight through Oscorp and beat the shit out of Kraven. So fucking good.
The suits are great as always. But I must admit...I'm kinda disappointed with Peter's. I am glad they kept some of my favourites from the first game and they added ones I wanted (Maguire's Black Suit, thanks Insomniac and the Classic Black Suit), I hate how so many of their slots are just filled with Tom Holland's suits. Did we really need all of them again? But I am glad they added Andrew Garfield's Amazing 2 suit! That is an awesome costume.
Also Spider-Verse Noir suit? Beauty.
Miles' suits are more appealing in my opinion. The Spider-Verse suits are great but I love the newer ones added in. Their design is so cool.
So yeah. This game is spectacular. Best Spidey game ever made. Period. We're gonna have a lotta fun with this. Game of the Year material alongside Baldur's Gate 3. Super epic!
Wolverine gonna be good if they keep it up.
