The game is really atmospheric for a "nintendo... horror... game...?" Mechanically the game is just satisfying to play, I appreicate the rumble when you use the vacuum and things like that. The game felt like it was missing something, and I'm not sure if that was better puzzles, more enemies, or a busier world, but it's a fun game to casually play.
I genuinely think this is the best mario has ever, and will ever be, outside of the 3D entries. The game is peak rpg, I really appreciate turn based combat that allows for direct control in battle, and rewards the player for presice timing in both attacking and defense. The characters are lovable and unique. The humor is unmatched, and even simple things like everyone knowing and loving Mario but straight-up ignoring Luigi will never get old.

Suprisingly a good game based off an existing property. I feel like most of this game could've been cliches, but I ended up caring more about it than I thought. The combat is made fun by switching characters and improving their abilities over time, but you get skills way too quickly and combat becomes a bit dry near the end. The environments are pretty for the most part, and with a side of marvel dialogue, it's an enjoyable experience.

This game is so incredible. Spider-man has never felt better. He is the character you always wanted to be at some point, and swinging around New York is never dull. Peter Parker is relatable, he's got no money and he'strying to fix so many broken ties. While juggling his two lives, the story of Peter fighting against villains like Doc-Ock, among others, while saving the ones he loves most, makes for such an emotional story with the most freedom you'll ever feel in a game.
For a break after Spider-Man, this game is as free-feeling as the original, but doesn't hold as much impact. I had a lot of fun with the new abilites, but failed to connect with some of the characters. I couldn't feel much symphathy for the villain like the original, but I still enjoyed the story, nonetheless.
