- time as of typing this: about 30 hours to platinum -

this game is amazing, spectacular even it didn't need a remaster but i am so glad it got one, the 60 fps is a great addition to the overall feel of the swinging and combat and graphically it was nice seeing some improvements
my run of the original was pretty short due to the time limit put on me by ps now so i didn't get to appreciate the game fully like i do now
i can't write a proper review that wouldn't just be me gushing about the little things that make this game so good, we all know about the great 60 fps swinging, gets better once you master it and can use it completely at its max speed and skills to the point where you really do feel like spider-man but oh my god the combat is so fun once you actually start using gadgets and different moves, off the wall attacks, swinging kicks and most triangle inputs can lead for some cool looking fights especially once you unlock every gadget
this game's music is pretty good, nothing i would go "BEST SOUNDTRACK OF ALL TIME" but there's some amazing tracks like "destroying your own creation" and really underrated gems here like the saber outpost sneaking track
the story itself is pretty alright, it works for an unique spider-man experience and i really didn't focus on it too much on it due to the superior gameplay, it does work well in the way you get to see characters you know slowly get to the dark point you know they'll go
on that note, martin li is done really well in this game and is definitely one of my favorite characters featured in one of my favorite missions, the final fight vs mr negative is some of the most fun i had playing a game in a while the story, gameplay and immersion shines in that entire chapter
most of the best chapters in this game are mainly focused on mr negative with the exception of the finale and the sinister six prison break out
and on the topic of characters, the voice acting and characters in this game are AMAZING
yuri lowenthal is an amazing adult peter parker and he really shines when interacting with the rest of the cast
his small jokes through the game, just that charming fun attitude but serious and heartbreaking when needed to be. lowenthal was just so good in this game he really gave it his all
my only nitpick that comes to mind is that the game doesn't allow you to go full stealth in wave missions, that's about it really
one of my favorite modern games and definitely one i look forward to getting more of
