FINALLY got around to playing this after years of it just sitting on the shelf, did it over last few weeks
The good parts are REALLY good, being spider man and swinging through the city never really gets old, and I doubt it will in the sequels, the final couple of bosses are also a real treat and the climax in general is soooooo fuckin cool and well done
the problem comes with almost everything else, this game is bloated out the ass with side content comparable to mario odyssey and breath of the wild. At first its a lot of fun and it didnt seem like there was THAT much stuff, so I was okay with it at first. But it just keeps piling up, constant shit that is just there and is boring that by the time you get to endgame there are 20 CRIME BATTLES in each district that are all the same and are not worth it
The sections where you play as MJ and Miles are also guilty of this, they feel like they were put in there to make the game longer and nothing more. They aren't that terrible, just mindlessly dull and boring for the most part, really just makes you want to keep playing as spider man. Except even then combat got fairly repetitive for me because of lower enemy variety than I would like (ik it makes sense within the game but whatever) and how the combat does not really "evolve" past a certain point, its still fun I could just feel the repetition later
But as for making you really FEEEEEEEEEEEEL like spider man, yeah it does that beautifully and if I was still the mega spider man fan that I was, I probably would have passed up a lot of the filler and boredom for how you can be spider man and fight the cool bad guys
Good game for sure, but I always felt the "sony" in it throughout unfortunately and it felt too bloated for its own good, I suppose when I get around to the sequel I will try and avoid most of it
