The story and missions are absolutely brilliant. The boss fights were done really well, although I wish the boss bar was done better. It should've shown the actual health of the boss you're fighting for the whole fight, not just that 1 phase (like how it is in pretty much 90% of other games lol). The Scream fight caught me completely off guard and was definitely one of the highlights of the game.
My biggest complaint though is how buggy this was during my playthrough. Obviously I played day 1 but even with the day 1 patch I had multiple crashes (one time during the venom escaping oscorp cutscene which was a massive buzzkill), had multiple enemies go OOB (happened to peter during the fight against him, again massive buzzkill), and just had a plethora of weird glitches and bugs which I really didn't expect from Insomniac of all people...
Still a very good game and after there have been a couple more patches I'd highly recommend anyone with a PS5 pick it up. Not game of the year but definitely a contender.
