The most obvious tie-in game ever made; it seems no effort was put into any aspect of it. The combat is shallow and tries too hard to be a Arkham City rip off with none of it's charm and fluidity, you'll just be mashing buttons most of the time with half baked mechanics like the signature moves and ionic webs which feel OP and unbalanced if you're using them on normal enemies. The swinging can look pretty cool occasionally but its very janky and gets old fast because of the repeated animations and how limited it truly is. (Web rush is a stupid fucking mechanic)
The open world is extremely empty with some side content like races and gang hideouts that are the easiest, most repetitive and boring activities to do and require no skill whatsoever. You'll also be doing 30 photo investigations where you have to take a picture of the same 3 things; 10 times each, with Spider-Man repeating the same three lines despite of where you are in the story which end up not making any sense at all. There's also of course the usual tedious collectibles like the comics, oscorp crates and audio logs. Along with all of that; they introduce... the morality system and it single-handedly stopped any fun that you MIGHT of had in the end game as it basically forces you to stop petty crimes because if you don't then your menace meter will fill up and there's going to be a bunch of obstacles in the open world such as robots, turrets and these transparent walls that stop you from swinging if you hit into them... who the fuck thought that was a good idea to put into a SPIDER-MAN GAME?
The weird thing about the story is that instead of having an actual premise and a theme, the game decides to insert random fucking villains into every corner which make ZERO sense as to why they're there. The movie had problems with too many villains and they only really had 2/3, this has 7... and ALL of their boss fights are ass.
The voice acting is hilarious too, it's like they were trying to sound like their movie counterparts but completely failing at it. AND THE ANIMATIONS ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY EXAGGERATED, it literally looks like Spider-Man is drunk in every cutscene because he's swinging his arms around, almost falling down; it's genuinely funny and I applaud them for doing that because it's so bad that it's good.
I guess I only really liked the beginning of the game because it started out with that banger of a cutscene that has genuinely good writing, and it had some mindless fun from time to time, so at least it's not a complete failure.
