This was really surprisingly good. I've been skeptical of all of the attempts at Spider-Man stories since the end of Sam Raimi's trilogy, but this is a great portrayal of not just Peter, but the surrounding cast of characters as well. The gameplay is way better than I expected as well. Just moving around the city is great and never got old to me, didn't feel the need to fast travel once, and the combat is a lot more than the arkham-clone I first wrote it off as. The narrative is nothing groundbreaking, but I did like how well it conveyed having your attention split between so many pressing tasks, having to save people all over the city while maintaining some semblance of a personal life. That attachment to gameplay was definitely enjoyable, and even something small like that is still unique enough to stand out among video game stories. The combat started to get a little old by the end, though I did pretty much all the side content which wasn't really necessary. Also the story was kind of predictable at times, though I think all of the characters were really enjoyable and it nailed the ending. Looking forward to coming back to play through the DLC soon, and then Miles Morales.
