• The physical/special attack split is so all over the place, so many compromises to have good builds (Absol 😵‍💫)

• Norman being the Champion would have made the story a bit better. Team Aqua and Magma do stink but it makes it funnier when they realize how much they screwed up by summoning Grou and Kyo and OF COURSE I have to go call their mom to stop them from fighting

• Gardevoir and Hariyama 💓💓💓

• There's a lot of water and I regret not getting Manectric

• You destroy a sick kid's hopes and dreams right at the end goal, what did GameFreak mean by that

The best part about this game is the opening cutscene where "I AM ALL OF ME" is playing.

I love that the last line of dialogue is "goodbye forever, shadow the hedgehog" and then it plays a song called never turn back

Great game. Overall experience was positive with some issues here and there. It is just fun being Spider-Man at the end of the day.

Story
It's good, at best, Kraven stuff is really cool, Miles' plot is great, Peter pre-symbiote stuff is great. Just, man. I don't love how the symbiote stuff was handled. I think the start with Harry using it with you is cool. But once Peter gets it it's weird. He becomes an asshole out of nowhere, it should have been much more built up to believe the suit would exaggerate it. His personality when he's an asshole is great though. Yuri gives him a great performance. Venom is, weird. He's barely in the game. Huge waste of Tony Todd. His characterization is inconsistent they couldn't decide if Harry wanted the suit on or not. Felt it would have been a lot more interesting if he stayed wanting to be with it. The "Heal the world" concept is interesting I just don't think Venom was the best to handle it. The budget web of shadows Symbiote Apocalypse stuff was weird. I get they need shit to do but all this stuff from one Symbiote is crazy. Idk. It's not the worst Symbiote story ever, just really inconsistent and too short.

Side Content Story wise is good. I like the EMF stuff, doing Science as Peter is very fitting and makes me enjoy him more. The Sandman, Wraith, Music Museum and Prowler stories were all good/great.

Gameplay
It's fun, both characters have fun abilities to make them unique and I love using the gadgets. Felt the dodge/parry stuff was a little irritating at times but it wasn't bad. Kraven, Peter and Venom were great boss fights. Negative Man's was cool too but the last phase being goons sucks. The "Stealth" sections while not mandatory to be stealthy the stealth the game wants you to do is really boring, slow and lacking depth. So I just ignored it eventually.

Side Content Gameplay wise was okay. Sandman just being goon fights is lame, Prowler stuff was okay, EMF and other science bits in the main story I actually liked. Hunter blinds and bases good, Symbiote nests okay. Hunter drones boring. Mysteriums good. Random crimes mostly were boring so I ignored them, sorry citizens of New York.

Other Thoughts
Most original suits for this game suck, a few were cool, but not enough to save them. Especially not the suits they force you to wear for certain cutscenes and gameplay sections(mega lame). First end credits song is super boring. This game has too many non-Spider-Man sections. I don't need like 3 different flashback sections, MJ missions (MJ is good in the story but I'm not playing a game called Mary Jane 2 I want to play as Spider-Man!) Too many dream sequences or similar shit like the Negative Man/Symbiote inner mind stuff I don't really like. It feels weird that a game called Spider-Man 2 needed more Spider-Man, but it did. Also Peter and Miles should have been "Greater Together" a lot more often. Only like a couple times you actually fight together. (Not even both vs Venom? Lame.) Also would have liked a feature where you can just meet up and hang out for a bit. Would have made their connection feel better.

At the end of the day, it's a great game that just needed to be cooked a bit longer, especially clear with this hopeful update they're making for excluded features and alleged DLC content. But we'll see what happens to that. For now, waiting for Spider-Man 3 where you fight the Green Goblin and like, the Spider Slayers (please).

Amazing game. With a couple extra additions to the post game, this goes from the easiest 9/10 to the easiest 10/10.

The only thing stopping this game from a perfect score is some quality of life stuff. Besides that its godlike in almost every way. We won Spider bros

Kirby Forgotten Land is my favorite Kirby game of all time, and I'm not even done with the post-game content. This game has so much charm and a lot of love put into it by HAL. The only thing I didn't really like about this game was the lack of copy abilities (12 of them) and the amount of moves removed from them. I was surprised at the amount of abilities that were in the game, even some staples like Stone, Fighter, and Beam were removed.

Other than that I didn't have any problems with this game because it only goes up, there are no down moments in the game at all. Like when I found out that with the d-pad you could get Kirby to say hi to you or the Waddles Dee's, and the Waddle Dee's I love them. There are over 250+ Dee's in the game but you only need 1/16th of that to actually beat the game, BUT. If you miss out on any Waddle Dee's out in the open or are so obvious to collect, you are a monster and no matter how hard you pray you will find yourself in hell when you die.

Waddle Dee Town is one of my favorite areas in the game. You can say hello to Waddle Dee's and they'll say hi back, you can knock one down and they'll get back up looking sad, it's such a neat detail and I love it. The more Dee's you collect the bigger the town grows and you unlock more buildings that will and can help you in the game. How HAL worked the Star Coins and Waddle Dee's is so good because it gives players an incentive to look around the area for hidden rooms rather than just speed blitzing through levels.

I don't have much to say about the level design rather than I enjoyed just about all of them and I like how detailed each level is, they all have their own story to tell.

Kirby had a stellar transition into 3D and I can't wait for more games like this one.

Big the Cat gives you Kingdom Hearts secret reports, there's no way this isn't a GOTY contender

You can literally mod in child exploitation, orgies, executions, guns, dating, real-estate, better graphics, a better story, and a whole new region and still get bored of this game within 30 minutes.

It's impressive.
