My Game of the Year.
Such an improvement on the other two great games. First of all, the story. Kraven the Hunter is an amazing villain and I think the arc is great BUT the whole symbiote/Venom arc is top tier. We don't need an Eddie to make a great Venom arc, Harry made totally sense here. It's a refreshing take. I thought the venom arc was slow at first (but they focused on Kraven which makes sense) but it picked up pretty fast. All the boss fights during the story are amazing, especially the last venom fight but also Miles vs Peter. Peter ripping off the symbiote is a top moment in this game. Also playing as Venom???? HELLO????
The gameplay is a lot of fun. Nothing can top SM2 when it comes to movement. It feels so smooth, you can feel every swing and the wing suit is a great addition. Also the combat is a lot of fun. I am glad they reduced the gadget wheel because it felt kinda bloated in the first game and only four gadgets are great. The different abilites are well animated and just fun to use.
The side stuff is not repetitive like in the first game. The flame sidequest ties in very well with the story of this game and the first one. EMF one was very emotional. What surprised me was the Spiderbot quest... Great tie-in to an amazing movie series!
The only miss the game has are the suits. While Miles suits are mostly great, Peters aren't. There are too many MCU suits and a lot of them could have been variants of others.
If you liked SM1 and MM, you will LOVE this one.
