System: PlayStation 5
Rating: 88/100
Playtime: ~26 Hours
After largely missing the boat on the MCU, I'm left to only assume that Insomniac is nailing the vibes of it with these Spider-Man games. You can definitely enjoy the games on their own, but there's so much there to see if you've been following the games from the start; all the way down to side missions having their follow ups.
As I was going through the buildup of the game, I was a bit shaky on the dual paths of Miles and Peter, not sure if it would really grab me, but by the end of it, it made sense and I felt like they were also able to pull that off.
I didn't have many gripes with this one, but one thing that did end up sticking out to me by the end of the game, was how formulaic the boss battles felt. No specific spoilers on them, but the fact that they all felt like three phases ended up making them feel slightly repetitive, even though there was clearly different things happening in between those phases. It wasn't enough to detract from the overall experience, but it was something that I noticed.
