An energetic, pretty, and very adept beat 'em up that unfortunately has its possible greatness muffled by a series of crushingly annoying bugs and crashes. The amount of softlocks, visual glitches, and general momentum-halting errors in this is way too high to forgive for a game with such speedy and demanding play (especially on hard difficulty) - which is a damn shame because otherwise this runs like a dream (minus its half-functioning lock-on system). Does exactly as advertised - lines up a docket of fan-favorite Spidey villains to be knocked around by four different Spider-Men with distinct playstyles and appearances. If that sounds awesome it's because it totally is. Personally my favorites are Noir and Ultimate, but they're all cool in their own way. One thing this does very well is how it manages to subvert of-the-era stereotypes which I'm normally averse to and makes them fun again - you've got QTE Hell and proto-MCU "uh... so that just happened!" millennial humor in no short supply here, but there's such a sense of infectious vitality to them that it's impossible not to be roped in and have a good time. They fit this world like a glove, and I honestly have no real complaints about them in this case. Deep, methodical combat; wonderful voice acting from a stacked cast; crisp comic book visuals; cutscenes that look great; and even Stan Lee narration - this is a good one, but it could have been even better.
