yeah, it was fine, I don't think it's the best Spider-Man game or hands down a must play but it was ...ffffffiiiine. The Combat was fine, the swinging was honestly not awful. but the writing is not very good, the open world feels empty, and the "choice" is very lame and is only there for "do you the good ending or the bad ending" rather than it working into the story. Also about the story, it makes no sense for Venom to take over New York since in 1993's venom lethal protector #4 a scientist stated that the venom suit was only capable of producing a spawn about six times one be Carnage and the rest being the group spider-man calls the five Venoms in that storyline. So whether this story is in the continuity of the comics or not it's fair to expect that the same rules apply and the suit cannot create more than six total symbiote predecessors. Unless of course, the suits all spawned around six more of their own creating an exponential growth pattern population of one symbiote immediately producing six, though this is also highly unlikely because the suit spawn on completely random occasions with years in between, using Carnage's offspring Toxin and Scorn as an example we're both births several years apart. It's also unlikely that this is indeed the single Venom symbiote infecting the entire city because symbiotes can't grow and spread on this level without gaining mass. In Carnage USA #1 Carnage takes control of an entire town of people but in order to do so he must consume an entire slaughterhouse full of pigs and cows to give the symbiote more mass. Venom wouldn't have the necessary supply of flesh to consume in order to grow over all of New York unless he eats an entire city's worth of cattle first. It is also out of character for venom and Eddy to partake in such wanton destruction being that the suit was revealed to be sympathetic and helpful to its host rather than parasitic and harmful in 'The Amazing Spider-Man Super Special Issue #1 ‘Planet the Symbiotes’. Speaking of Planet the Symbiotes, symbiotes can indeed achieve kaiju status if they consume several hundred other symbiotes for mass which Carnage did in that storyline to stop the symbiote invasion and make himself powerful enough to kill all of New York. Venom will not be able to expand his suit to this quantity unless he had first absorbed several thousand other symbiotes. This takes place after the purge device The Tinkerer created went off killing all the alien in New York, where the rest of these suits came from, why Venom is not affected by the purge mechanism, and how Eddie Brock could exist inside that thing are all unknowns seeing as how the suit does drain life and we're after all. So in short using the lore provided none of this can happen this story is impossible if you do the homework.
