Like the previous two titles, this game is highlighted by simple yet fun combat and joyful traversal through the city, and the addition of web wings and abilities makes each of those even better. There's enough variety between the main story and side content that the game never got dull, and I ended up binging the game (a rarity for me). The overall story is good-not-great and hits the same note too many times, but it was effective and even delivered some surprises by diverting from some expectations for classic Spider-Man storylines. The side missions range from dull time-sinks to compelling and, in one particular instance, shockingly emotionally powerful. Also, special shoutout to the integration of Hailey and having more depth and care than just a token deaf character.
Highly recommend. Another example of why Insomniac is one of the most consistent and greatest developers.
