This review contains spoilers

I think from a gameplay perspective, they really knocked this one out of the park. Everything about the combat and traversal feels improved from 2018 and Miles Morales. I think the story is really where this game is lacking. The story is serviceable and has a lot of fun set-piece moments, but the characters felt lacking compared to the previous titles. Kraven as a villain felt underdeveloped and kind of just thrown in there to have some conflict until the symbiote story really took off. I also didn't buy the internal conflict of Peter and Miles as much as I think the game wanted me to. Miles especially felt thrown to the side for much of the game. Theres a lot more about the story that wasn't great but ultimately the game was still a ton of fun. The world is fun enough to be in and the characters are enjoyable enough to watch that even if the story isn't hitting like it should, you can kind of just sit back and turn your brain off.
