I found the first Spider-Man game to be a bit bland while having some fun swinging and I feel mostly the same way here. It's not without some refinement though. The combat feels a bit better with the addition of the venom moves. The stealth sections are also a bit better designed. The shorter length really helps with the pacing of the story because obvious villain twists are less of a problem when they're not building up to it for hours. The music is also quite a step up from the previous entry. The side content is still a bit uniteresting. I must say that the fidelity mode running with VRR for 120Hz monitors looks damn great. I hope that becomes an industry standard. I wish I liked these games more because they certainly make me marvel at how expensive they look but I rarely feel much excitement while playing them. It's a decent game but I won't be rushing to the next one.
