Silver Lining ties up all the loose ends of the Spider-Man DLC Saga in a nice way. Silver Sable and the story surrounding her was good. There is also at least one new interesting side activity. But main missions continue to not be very well and the overall story is weak because of Hammerhead's emptiness as a villain.
The Full Review(No Spoilers for THIS DLC, Spoilers for Main Game and Previous DLC's):
Unlikely Friendships
The end is here. Marvel's Spider-Man releases it's final DLC Silver Lining and this chapter of Insomniac's history closes. And, this DLC is just okay. It's a little bit better than Turf Wars but nowhere close to the main game or The Heist.
The story here begins with Silver Sable coming back to get her weapons and equipment. She is furious and wants to punish Hammerhead. Her road crosses with Spider-Man and they start a friendship, maybe temporary.
The Heist was Black Cat's story, Turf Wars was Yuri Watanabe's story and Silver Lining is definitely Silver Sable's story. Her scenes with Spider-Man are great. And their relationship develops in a nice way. Voice actress Nichole Elise does a great job too.
However, exactly like Turf Wars, this DLC has a villain problem. Hammerhead returns as the big bad here but he has even less screen time in this story. He is a very empty villain and definitely dragged down both this and the previous DLC.
There are some other characters as well that I don't want to talk about. I just want to say that don't worry, this final DLC ties up ALL the loose ends. And it does a great job at that.
Main missions of this DLC are similar to Turf Wars. There are some cool missions and moments here and there but most of them are not very good. Side missions however, there is one interesting thing there.
First up, we have more crimes and more Screwball Missions. As well as 3 new outposts that are fun. I say this because Turf Wars' outposts were too difficult and not very fun in my opinion. This DLC's outposts are much better.
The interesting side activity here are Crime Scenes. These are very similar to The Heist's "Stolen Art Pieces". Each Crime Scene will give you a voice recording. There are 9 of them in total and each unlocks a piece of the puzzle.
Stolen Art Pieces went to a very interesting place with telling us more about Felicia's dad, the original Black Cat. Crime Scenes are even more connected to the main story and definitely sets up a future villain. I don't want to spoil but the only thing I can say is that you should do these. Definitely, definitely do them. Even if you don't do any other side activities, do the Crime Scene collectibles.
