It lives up to the hype of setting the standard for what a great Spider-Man game should be. A ton of mobility, stealth, and gadgets that put every Spider-Man ability to the test. I found the game surprisingly challenging to get into but once you spend a couple hours on the game it feels really good. The game felt like a way longer Arkham game and I ultimately found myself preferring Arkham Knight after playing and enjoying this game since I'm much closer to Batman and his world as characters. The game is loaded with tons of content and frankly a lot of open world crap I don't care to do like finding hidden pictures and hunting birds. To me this content only exists to make the percentage slider go up rather than meaningfully add to the mechanics of gameplay. The web swinging was fun but has a really low skill ceiling. I'd recommend the game but if it doesn't look like something you'd enjoy then it probably isn't.
