I don't really know how to rate this. I'd say I mostly enjoy the gameplay atleast as much as in the first two games, web swinging and combat is as good as ever. Part of me even enjoys this story more than the first game's. It's so much bigger and crazier and pulling in more stuff I really like from the comics, but it also feels far more undercooked than the original game's story. They don't fully capitalize on all the beats of the story, Miles doesn't feel like very well intergrated into the main plot, I don't love what they do with Venom (no matter how cool he looks and sounds) and nothing hit as hard as the raw emotional gut punch of the first game's ending. There's a lot more to it than just the story that makes me unsure if I like this game more or less than the original, but I've also played that game so many more times and I wanna give this a little more time to simmer in my mind. I atleast wanna do a NG+ playthrough before rating it. (Whenever the fuck that's coming out).

I honestly felt the same way tbh. Gameplay wise its great but like you said it lacks that gut punch the first game had.

I also wish that Mile's storyline was integrated more into the story and we don't have Miles complaining about his essay for the entire game. Cause for the most part Miles story is mostly in side content.
