I wasn't expecting to like this game as much as I did. A lot of Sony's first parts offerings lately have been pretty hit or miss for me, but Spider-Man managed to pull me in.
The game is at its best in the first 5-7 hours, when you're still unlocking new abilities and getting into the flow of combat. There are a lot of interesting things to see and do in New York City and you stumble upon and complete them pretty organically. This game looks pretty easy to 100% and I appreciate that.
The combat is flashy and cinematic, and as I said earlier feels really good at the start of the game. By the end, you kind of become pretty OP and the game starts playing itself, which is sort of a bummer. The overall presentation was dynamic enough that it wasn't boring however.
The game is... mostly polished. Like the combat and traversal is solid, but it's odd because it's actually one of the buggier games I've played in the past couple years. There were three distinct times where I would be blocked by a bug on the critical path and have to reload a checkpoint to fix things.
Overall, super stylish and fun Spider-Man game.
