I was interested in this one for a while & was gifted this one from a friend. As someone who recently played Silent Hill 2 I was craving for another survival horror game.

The visuals have that low poly feel but it works beautifully & the cutscenes are so stylish with the gorgeous red backgrounds & sprite work. The use of horror is amazing & requires you to be careful with your resources though I would say they were times that backtracking to pick up older equipment can be a bit tedious. The story is fantastic too living things up to the player to their imagination but leaves up enough information for the player to get the gist of it. If you love sci-fi & horror stories & enjoy survival horror games like Silent Hill 2 pick up Signalis.

If you love the gameplay & the sandbox of the first game & Miles Morales then you love Spider-Man 2. Traversing around this gorgeous city is fun to roam around especially now with the inclusion of the web-glide ability. Combat is pretty great too with some new abilities for both characters though I wish the game had a proper lock-on function as they were times I wanted to target a specific enemy & the game decided instead to attack the one nearest to me. Bosses are fun & can be challenging especially on a first playthrough despite the number of combat options you have equipped.

They is a lot to experience in this game with loads of side quests & activities & the amount of detail is insane that I could see why this game cost a lot. I enjoy the number of suits you can get to even from the movies.

The story is good too though not as great as the first time around as I felt one or two conflicts interactions feeling a bit forced. While I thought the main villain in 1 is still my favourite the rogue's gallery here is still amazing especially the main antagonist Kraven who is such a delight being a ruthless killer that causes a lot of struggles for the majority of the casts both the good guys & the criminals.

Its a marvellous time that is worth picking up if you have a PS5.
