Even though I'm not a fan of videogames based on licences or movies, Marvel's Spider-Man was actually worth it in my opinion.
The story of the game, while surprisingly slow in the first half, is actually surprisingly intriguing by the end of the game and I didn't expect it from a superhero game to be honest; it's not necessarily good, but it's decent enough.
The gameplay is great, it feels awesome and it's as deep as it needs to be, it has a fair amount of cool moves, gadgets, suits and skills to unlock.
The characters are nice for the most part and Spider-Man's portrayal is one of the best in my opinion.
The graphics and audio are absolutely fantastic for sure.
Unfortunately though, Marvel's Spider-Man has some noticeable flaws, particularly in its Open World; it's just boring, it barely has any meaningful content at all and the challenges are all repetitive.
Also, the stealth system is boring too and the mandatory stealth missions halt the pacing every time.
Pros:
+ Serviceable story
+ Very good gameplay
+ Likable characters
+ Gorgeous visuals
Cons:
- Slow pacing
- Very repetitive open world
- Stealth system
Narrative: 6/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Content: 5/10
Characters: 6/10
Music: ?/10
Graphics/Audio: 10/10
Final Rating: 7.5/10
- Very Good -
I wish Marvel's Spider-Man could "be greater" by not letting the painfully uninspired and boring open world structure hold it back, however, even as it is, it's still a solid videogame experience, especially for Spider-Man fans or superhero fans in general.
Do I recommend it?:
Yes, although mostly to fans of Spider-Man.
