played on hard
Gameplay is really fun and a big step up from the first. Venom powers are so good and though they feel op at first, when they start introducing new enemies you definitely need venom attacks to keep up. I really like how venom works in web swinging too. In the previous game while swinging you could press square and move the joystick to perform tricks in the air to get a bit of xp and look cool but they were pretty limited in terms of animation. In this one there are a ton of tricks and doing them fills up your venom bars too which can then be used to either leap forward or jump high while swinging. Its a very fun gameplay loop and combined with Miles' unique swinging animations which are a lot more fluid its just really cool
Story is good but it definitely needed to be longer because certain things with the villain and Miles' relationship aren't as good as they could be
Music has more variety than the first game and is generally better, its not purely epic orchestral music whic is nice. Won't Give Up is a highlight
The Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man app has a lot of nice side quests featuring Miles getting to know people around the area he's just moved into but I don't really like how it makes it seem like Miles is the only Spider-Man looking out for the little guy.
Conclusion, pretty good game. If you haven't played this or the previous game and own a PS5 the deluxe edition of this game is a great bargain especially when on sale because it comes with this and Spider-Man remastered with all its dlc(not that they're good lol)
