Never thought I'd buy this game, let alone have it as my GOTY at any point in time, this shit goes unfathomably hard and it's by far the best new release I've played this year.
While the story isn't anything special, the lore itself is interesting enough to urge you to continue pushing through if you are enough about the story beats.
The gameplay though...incredible. This is an action game through and through, the parrying never gets old and the combos are such fun to pull out even against the most basic enemies. It's flashy, satisfying and the learning curve is balanced enough to where you WANT the next boss you face to be based around parrying, just so you can test yourself.

Played this for the first because of the show, pleasantly surprised by how well it had held up. Getting used to VATs was nowhere near as clunky as I thought it'd be.
Comparing this game to my experience with Starfield is quite sad honestly, I want to love Bethesda like I did when they released Skyrim...they just aren't the same as they were from 2008-2011.
Decent main story, great side content and variety of characters, and DLCs that provide different experiences from the base game, definitely worth trying if you've never played it before.

Going through my backlog (heh) and trying to recall stuff about games I didn't log instantly after beating them, a lot of things I remember about this are supririsngly negative.
The story felt rushed, especially in the final few hours of an already short main story. Characters desperately needed more fleshing and time to develop, especially for such an important villain in Spidey's development as a hero.
Side content wasn't as memorable or fun as the first game either, cycling back to stuff that unlocks in the final few hours of the game...it felt very tacked on even if it made sense narratively.
Other things that come to mind, core gameplay was as good as the first game, but the gadgets felt less fun to use and abilities didn't have as much variety.
Positivity wise, great voice acting across the board, very high quality cutscenes, traversal is top tier and probably the best I've experienced in video games.
