This review contains spoilers

The first half of the game (pre-Venom suit) was a bit of a drag. I honestly think MJ's levels were more fun that the Peter Parker levels (high school break-in, Coney Island). Everything after Peter gets the Venom suit REALLY picks the game up a notch and made it more fun and engaging.

Besides the two main bugs on the cover (bah-dum-tiss), I got some bugs where I couldn't progress because a Triangle interaction popup didn't appear so I had to reload my checkpoint. I had other bugs where certain characters' dialog didn't load, so Peter was talking to and answering silence. The worst bug I had was where all audio dropped out besides the ones through my controller. I knew it was a game issue because PS UI and home screen sounds were still fine. At that point I had to close out the game entirely and reload.

Overall it's a great experience. I wish the first half was as strong as the second half and that there was more polish on the aspects that sucked me out of the game (like audio issues), but hell, I'll play it again.
