This review goes out to my late Uncle Pete who got me really into Spider-Man once he took me and my brothers to see the Sam Raimi Spiderman movie and then ended up seeing the whole trilogy in the theatres.

I truly believe this has been the best game I have played this year up to this point. Everything I wanted in a sequel and improvements to the Marvel's Spiderman were here. From start to finish I enjoyed every moment of this ride and the amount of different transversal abilities you get throughout the city is so much fun to just glide and swing around. Which makes me question why even add fast travel to this game even though it looked and was seamlessly quite impressive. New York City has never felt more alive and bustling with all the different things going on and the open world felt so alive compared to prior games I have played like the Division 2 or Watch Dogs Legion. The mainline sidequests introduced completely felt like it was part of the main story with how much detail they put into them with the cinematics and performances. Even the smaller activities to complete throughout the game and world all felt like a unique and different experience every time you would complete one which I feel makes the whole 100% completion way more fun to complete. The upgrade and combat system improves in a major way, but it does kind of suck you can't change finishers like in the first one, but with the new abilities you get throughout I still think this exceeds that style they had.

The story beats and missions is where this game shines the brightest with building up newer characters while giving the ones we know even more character development and backstory. I was pleasantly surprised at so many things that I was able to actually witness firsthand with all these people pumping out spoilers like crazy before the game was even released. Like it is getting to the point where it is nearly impossible to avoid and that really disappoints me with major triple AAA story based games like this one.

I did one into some major glitches throughout which mostly were funny, but some would softlock the game where I had no choice but to load application again, however the checkpoints are very good so you are able to get right back to where you were. Still, that definitely is the biggest issue I had with my whole playthrough.

Overall I feel like this was a perfect follow-up to the last one and amazed people online are hating on this as much as they are. Pretty sure it is just bait and trolls just doing their usual thing with major game releases. In terms of Super Hero games it does not get no better than this at this point in time! If you really don't wanna pay 69.99 for a game you can platinum in 24 hrs I suggest just wait for a price drop and sale. Regardless, this is one game you do not wanna miss out on.
