I have a hard time figuring out how I feel about this game. I really want to like it, but it certainly has its flaws from mostly forgettable music and infuriating boss fights and oddly designed special/bonus stages. Not a fan of the blurry backgrounds, too (Playing on PS5, no option to toggle it off). However, the cast and physics feel great and having the original cast playable is always welcome. Trip is a cool addition to the cast, but I wish more was done with her. I think Arzest has potential for future Classic Sonic styled games. Not worth $60, $20 - $30 seems like a fine price for it. Bonus points for Fantasy Zone reference.
Despite a few bugs I ran into and I wish there was a little more (side) content to do, this is a fantastic follow up to the 1st Spidey and Miles Morales. All of the new traversal options and new & refined combat abilities makes it impossible to want to revisit the previous entries. Had a lot of fun with it and consider it the best super hero game I have played.
Not too big a fan of the Survival mode they added, but Karai and Usagi are the best possible additions to the roster making arcade/story runs even more fun. Price isn't too bad for the content, but wish we got some more stages or Rocksteady/Bebop/Shredder as playable characters. Love the alternate palette colors, though!
