From a technical perspect, this game is amazing: the combat feels just as amazing as the first one, the game has basically zero loading times on PS5 and it is absolutely gorgeous to look. However, when you start actually playing the flaws start appearing.
My main point of criticism about this game stands on: it has too much handholding, too much scripted and predefinied moments and less player experience, and the parts that you play can feel a bit repetitive. Take the last boss story mission as an example: you play a little "stealth" section at the beggining (i can`t really call that stealth to be fair) that has two enemy encounters and a mini boss that is stupid easy, and after a bunch of flashy cutscenes, you start the fight against the last boss. The fight is cool and cinematic, and it does feel like you`re actually watching a blockbuster Spider-man movie, but at the end you can`t help but feel a little disappointed with all the outcome.
The story also doesn`t quite work for me. It`s like they tried to do too much inside a story - they tried to develop two villains, Kraven, which gets a lot of time and background but when Venom gets on screen, it feels rushed and underwhelming.
Even with all those issues, this is still a banger a must play if you`re on the new gen - the game still retains all the good things from the first game and, again, makes you feel like Spider-man - well, Spider-men actually.
