The gameplay has been polished to perfection. The story, however, has never been more bland and less charismatic. Peter's confidence is completely deleted from the previous game. His relationship with MJ is extremely toxic too. Miles has absolutely nothing to do until the final 20% of the game, where he's suddenly shoved into the forefront with no rhyme or reason. The villains were both half-baked, taking up roughly the same amount of time in the story. With the leaks we now know half of the content was cut so they can repackage it for a 50$ stand-alone.
They introduce a 3rd spider-person in the epilogue. Which makes you wonder how bad the story in the final game could be, considering that they couldn't even balance 2 characters.
