This review contains spoilers

so now my playthrough of the dlc is done

the story/villain was never the dlc's strong suit. hammerhead is pretty basic, though once you suspend your disbelief for what he turns into its a pretty fun conclusion.

the banter between sable and spider man are great, honestly the dialogue is the best part of all 3 dlcs. black cat survived but then disappears immediately after, kinda shot that plotpoint in the foot. there was some worldbuilding with sable's country too, i dont remember it being touched upon in miles' story but it would be nice in the sequel, with what mj was up to over there i mean. ive honestly got really reattached to the insomniac versions of these characters over the replay, man...

the dlc has fewer setpieces and feels more like a confident farewell to the game(not to mention the dlc formula/mission structure. doesn't dilly dally with its side content) theres no standout fight besides maybe the sable team up fight. but that doesn't really matter because its a solid experience throughout its runtime. the difficulty isn't as cranked up as it was in turf wars which is kinda disappointing. and the final boss is pretty fun, maybe beats out turf wars's hammerhead fight.

i still prefer turf wars because of the cement fight, tone, and boss but silver lining was a great finale to this replay. miles is next.
