I didn't expect this one to be so good.
First off, I am really glad that they used a somewhat original story instead of a movie tie-in kinda thing.
Symbiotes conquered the whole New York and they are everywhere, atmosphere is chaotic and our spidey boi is trying to stop this mess with other comic-book characters. Dialogues are entertaining, music is good and graphics are mostly fine for it's time.
Now let's talk about the delicious part, gameplay. It's damn good. Both the traversal and combat.
Web-swinging is one of the best among the other Spider-man games that are released so far. With a lil bit practice, you can get used to it really fast and execute pretty cool moves.
The combat is so damn good. You have three combat situations: on ground, on wall and on air. All of em works so well. There are plenty of moves and you can switch to black suit any time you want with a quick button press which has a different moveset and playstyle. It's not on DMC or Bayonetta level but far better than most of the other games on this genre.
Boss fights are really impressive. All of them feels different from one another (except for some symbiote versions of other bosses)
There is also a choice system, during important events you'll get to choose between good and evil choices, although they usually don't make sense.
The only bad thing about this game is the missions you do before the real important story missions. They are mostly boring chores like defeating a specific number of enemies or escorting a vehicle. They are short but real pace breakers.
All in all, give this one a try especially if you are a Spider-man fan.
