If you’re a big fan of the dead rising series, then obviously you’re not gonna like this game. However objectively speaking this far from the worst game I’ve played. Yes this game was rushed, it’s glitchy, the writing is bad, story is whatever, locking the true ending behind DLC is dumb and they did write Frank in a weird way but the gameplay, music, map, weapons and “bosses” are decently good and fun. The new crazy combo weapons and vehicles are fun to use and the capcom heroes mode is a lot of fun after playing through the story normally.
Is the game franchise ending? In my opinion; no. This could’ve been a lot worse. If you’re just looking to blow up and destroy zombies then this game will do that just fine.

A more than worthy successor.

This game is phenomenal some would say spectacular even. Everything about this game is just a straight up improvement.
I felt that the combat in the first game was too reliant on gadgets but this game has a better balance with normal combat, gadgets and abilities.
The general combat is great, the exploration is made even better with the wing suits and the expansion of the map (even though it isn’t huge) was cool.
The side stories I found surprisingly good and shows a better side of Spider-Man’s character with helping people with problems that anyone could have.
The boss fights are great.
Most of the costumes are great and look really good.
The fan service is insane with events that happen in the story of side missions.
The only thing I found annoying was having to swing an injured civilian 500+ meters away to an ambulance after a fight. Which I guess would happen but after awhile it gets tedious.
And even with the dumb MJ stealth missions being back, it’s a bit more tolerable this time.
Overall story is way better. A little bit better character writing for Peter and Miles. Definitely worth it.
