They've done it folks, Insomniac has made one of the best superhero games I've ever played. Marvel's Spider-Man is yet another exclusive jewel in both Insomniac Games and Sony's crown. They're going to need a scepter to go with that thing soon.

Gorgeous graphics and animation; Traversal is incredible and never gets old; The Story kept me on the edge of my seat throughout; Lots of surprises for eagle-eyed fans; Taking control of other characters keeps the pace fresh

Minor open world traversal hiccups; Mini Games can be a bit dull; Side activities are a typical open-world affair

If you were to sit people down and ask them what their favourite Spider-Man game is, chances are you'd get the answer of either Neversoft's game on the original PlayStation or Treyarch's Spider-Man 2 from 2004.

An immensely enjoyable and fun to play superhero adventure.

Web swinging has a fantastic sense of freedom and control; Beautiful open-world New York; Likeable characters and great performances

Pretty much Spider-Man Arkham; Familiar open-world structure

I wanted Marvel's on PS4 to make me feel like Spider-Man: To sail between the highrises of New York City, to nimbly web up hordes of enemies, and tussle with familiar, animal-themed villains. Insomniac Games' first foray into the world of Marvel handily delivers on all of that.

Some ill-conceived stealth sequences hold the game back a bit, but overall, Marvel's Spider-Man raises the bar for what a licensed open-world game can be in the same way that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has reshaped superhero movies.

This was a gift for my grandson and he loved it

It has been a number of years, but finally we have a new Spider-Man game, and it's good to have the web slinger back once again. Simply titled Marvel's Spider-Man it may be, although at least the game doesn't take us back to the superhero's over-told origin story.

Marvel's Spider-Man boasts a memorable story that does justice to a classic character. The setpieces are awesome, the story regularly put a smile on my face, and the swinging is satisfying, but everything outside of the main story suffers from feeling a little by-the-numbers and repetitive, yet when...

There are few kinds of games harder to get right than those based on superhero franchises. The problem stems from the very concept itself.

Swinging feels spot on; Simple yet entertaining combat; Some neat twists and turns

Feels somewhat padded; Drowning in open world tropes; Stealth sections aren't great

I bought this on pre order as it should have come with bonus content. I received the standard game with no additional content and have a very disappointed child. The game is fantastic but the service from very is appalling I'm never using them to pre order a game again.
