I'm extremely disappointed.

Every character is incredibly boring, but at least the story was half decent before Kraven's death (which was the only good part of the story by far), then it went downhill and felt incredibly rushed. The pacing of the story was trash for the start, but the last act just felt like a long grind until the final fight.
Overall I think they played it too safe with how predictable everything was, and with the corny millennial "MCU writing".

The side content is still complete garbage, especially the rewards, which are either ugly ass suits or little easter egg scenes that nobody cares about.

It feels so rushed and unpolished. No NG+, no character bios, no podcast audios to replay, no endgame options (like weather and time of day change). The graphics are also overrated as fuck, fidelity is useless obviously because who the fuck plays games at 30 fps in 2023, and performance looks so blurry.

Overall a mediocre triple A esclusive that doesn't go out of its way to do anything different or innovative, especially when it comes to the open world formula. I expected more from Insomniac, if I wasn't a big spider-man fan I would've been way more harsh.

P.S. I hope Insomniac is giving us a shit ton of new suits with free upgrades and DLCs because the costumes selection of the base game leaves a lot to be desired. It's mostly movie suits and mid original designs. Seriously I don't know what the fuck are they doing in the design department at Insomniac, 99% of their original designs are trash.
