Being a standalone expansion to Marvel's Spider-Man from 2018, this game delivers more or less the same as it's predecessor. Which for me isn't a bad thing since I really liked the last game. Marvel's Spider-Man, in my opinion, gave us the quintessential Spider-Man gaming experience. So to get more of that sweet webslinging action is great in my book.

Though it would have been nice to see some interesting changes to the game to make it feel more like Miles Moralis' version. They did try to do this with the implementation of the venom mechanic and the camouflage. But the venom mechanic feels a little underdeveloped and I would have like it to be more engaging rather then being a simple damage boost to your attacks. The camouflage is nice but sadly not really utilized since there's not a whole lot of moments where you would actually need it. It feels more like a luxury gimmick that's tacked on to bring more Moralis flavor to the game.

All in all it's a good game! The gameplay is pretty much the same and the story is fine, but I prefer the story in the last game. If you enjoyed the last game and want to swing around the streets of New York again, then this is the game for you! But I would recommend waiting for a sale before buying it.
