Summary

The Spider-Man game franchise has long been a series that gamers have always thought should work, but it rarely has. The third attempt from Beenox, but first attempt at an open world version, shows some promise, but it has a lot of cracks along the way.

We like

  • Sound sound sound
  • Swinging, while restricted can still be fun
  • Batman style combat

We dislike

  • Restrictions on swinging in the city
  • All stealth action
  • The sheer amount of collectables
