Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ An amazing Spider-Man story.
+ Fun to traverse the city via web-slinging.
+ New fun bio-electricity power to use in combat and traversal.
+ Amazing OST, better than Marvel's Spider-Man, in my opinion.
- Still has clunky combat (Could just be an issue on my part), but it has definitely improved.
- Level-locked skills. I should not have to reach a level to purchase the next skill even if I have enough skill points to buy it.
- The main story is shorter than Marvel's Spider-Man (2018).

Insomniac's Spider-Man games are probably the best modern Marvel video games. Amazing story-telling, amazing web-swinging mechanics, they got it figured out how to make the player really feel like Spider-Man. The combat is still a bit iffy for me, but the story is what matters for me. The menu UI (touchpad) in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) was a bit cluttered for me and this game does the same. When it comes to UI, I want it to be as minimal as possible. It's not hard to understand what's going on in the menu, there are just many unnecessary symbols and text. In my opinion, the Social Feed section is useless; I never used it in the previous game and never used it in this game. Because the game is short, definitely get this on a discount whenever you can. You can say it's worth the full price, but it's not for me and I'm glad I got it for ~$20.
