Surprisingly lame DLC
The Heist is honestly just kinda pathetic. It features a pretty bare-bones story that somehow wastes time despite only being like 2-3 hours, and its gameplay fails to innovate on the base game.
for open-world stuff, Insomniac made the genius decision to completely separate this DLC's open world activities from the base game, this makes New York feel empty and barren. All new open world content here is just boring collectables or challenges that pretty much just feel like the base games activities but a lil worse. I cannot be bothered to waste my time going through these activities.
In terms of gameplay, most additions are so insignificant they're not worth mentioning. The only big notable difference is that they've added a big dude with a machine gun as an enemy type, he's pretty whatever.
Finally onto the story, it's really not that bad but the first half really wastes time as it just takes forever to do what we already knew it was gonna do. The second half is a bit better but it's really just not enough. I like the voice acting and the character interactions between Peter, Cat, and MJ, but that's about it.
The actually gameplay content within these story missions don't create any interesting situations or dynamics, it's just more of the base game but less inspired, and they even had the gall to bring back MJ missions, which is just so silly to me. Why would I want to play as a regular human when I boot up my superhero game. It doesn't help that the MJ sections feature extremely linear and half-baked stealth that puts me to sleep, if it was actually well made it wouldn't be such an annoyance.
Anyways, this DLC is lame as hell, but at least it isn't long right? Hopefully the following chapters are more interesting.
