When one of the world's most famous and beloved superheroes gets the big and exclusive gaming platform of the PlayStation 4 with a hype built over a year, it is only necessary that the expectations be in the sky. And there is no greater satisfaction for gamers to receive adequate compensation for the expectation that has been built. Spider-Man is finally here and he provides us with dozens of hours of endless action and a fascinating plot that will stick us to the screen even when the sign is on the side during the transition videos.
A fascinating plot, fun tasks, and suits with improvements
The plot revolves around the double life of Peter Parker, the scientist who helps Doctor Octavius in his laboratory, and Spiderman, the neighborhood hero who is trying to save New York from the beasts of duty. In the course of the plot, we performed missions that also integrated Mary Jane and Miles Morales, a character familiar to more pious fans of comics. Over the course of the game we encountered dozens of side missions that could have been carried out parallel to the campaign. They are all fun but unfortunately not all of them are challenging. After we finished them successfully, we won points with which we acquired improvements to our character and our kisses. A very refreshing innovation in the game is the variety of suits that can be exchanged during the game, each of which has unique improvements that upgrade Spider-Man's abilities.

The wide variety of side missions, combined with the hypnotic landscape of New York City, made us feel a bit guilty when we wanted to "tap" the campaign quickly or jump on a train and save the trip in the city. By the way, if during the game you chose to do "Fast Travel" by subway. During the loading of the game you will see fun clips of Spider-Man sharing a ride with New Yorkers.
New York City with breathtaking graphics
Beyond the fact that skipping the skyscrapers of New York with the cobwebs is a great experience in itself, wandering the length and breadth of New York City has certainly given us the option of giving a bite in the big apple and getting to know more in depth the most famous city in the world. The graphics are no less breathtaking than those who visited New York City. The attention paid to the details is quite impressive. The flow of the game flows and even loading the game took place very quickly. Beyond historic sites such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and the Brooklyn Bridge, we also visited Marvell's comic world destinations such as the Black Panther Wakanda Embassy, Iron Man's Stark Tower or the Avengers' Headquarters.
To this day, according to many, the most enjoyable and enjoyable fighting mechanics was Batman's ARKHAM series. There's no doubt that Spider-Man's developers at Insomniac were inspired by Bateman, but they certainly set a high standard for every game that comes after it when it comes to combat systems. Whether it's eliminating a gang of mercenaries while performing a 50-pound combo or sticking enemies to a wall with a spiderweb shell, the options to eliminate enemies are varied, impressive and of course most importantly - unusually fun and perfectly suited to Spider-Man's acrobatics.
Purchase the Marvel Spider-Man Spider-Man game
Comics fans will be happy to discover that the plot of the game is largely compatible with the literary version. The villains we met and the manner in which they appeared along the plot kept us on a "high pulse" and created a situation where there is no poor moment in the game. The witty jokes and rapists that only the genre fans will laugh at, accompany us throughout the plot and add another dimension to it. Be sure to blink during the videos because Stan Lee, as usual, came up at some point in the game to give his traditional guest appearance, and of course we also had a bonus video at the end of the game after the credits.

Not everything is perfect in the game
If you thought until now that the game was perfect, then think again, it is amazing by all accounts but only close there. There are some things that need improvement in our opinion - the most obvious drawback is the attempt to evade missiles or other weapons that are fired in our direction. When that happens, our spider senses will warn us against potential harm and we should avoid. Sometimes it did not work smoothly and we were hit by injuries, although in fact we pressed the button on time.
Another major drawback to older gamers is the level of difficulty of the game ... there is no great difficulty! Even on the most difficult level, we did not encounter too many difficulties at the end of the missions, apart from the battles with the villains who were probably more challenging, but it was not really hard for us either. At the end of the day, the game ended pretty quickly and in our opinion the game developers could have been tougher in terms of the difficulty level, and that's something we really expected in the next titles.
In conclusion, if you want to enjoy a game that will cause you to lose a few hours of sleep at night and not regret for a moment, this game will perform the task. Properly for an exclusive game of Playstation, we enjoyed a fascinating game that left us with a taste of more.
In a year of games like God of War breaking record sales and global rankings, Call of Duty breaks its own record with Black Ops 4, Red Red Redemption, which is just around the corner, Spider-Man will undoubtedly be a worthy candidate This year's game title. Although there is a very tough battle ahead, there is no doubt that the developers of the game can be proud of their work.
