Back in 2016 when they announced Spider-Man, I was nervous. I felt the last successful Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 2 on the PS2/X-Box. I played all of the previous games, but none of them could give me that feeling of being Spider-Man. Until, I came across this game. This is the Spider-Man game we have been waiting for. It beats all of the films and previous games. The magic this game brings is the same magic I felt from Spider-Man 2.
The graphics are purely amazing. They are the best to date and really take advantage of the PS4 Pro's features. From simple puddles, NPCs, and even buildings. You can actually see furniture inside non-accessible buildings! It's not pictures but actual 3D figures.
The dialogue is amazing. Pacing in the game is great, as it contains a few different Acts. The most amazing part was this game starting as a Boss Fight. I can't remember the last time I've played a game where you just jump straight into the action. Another thing I love about this game is that even though it is in its own universe, it makes several connections and shows Easter Eggs toward other Spider-Man allies and foes.
I don't give 10s because that's just too generous. I'll have to give it a 9/10 on here but in my mind it is about a 9.8/10. I have never seen such a polished video game. The atmosphere of New York is very realistic and accurate. I strongly recommend to anyone who is a Marvel fan or just wants to play a great action game. The story line is par, the combat is the smoothest to date, and the atmosphere makes you feel as you are in New York City. Give it a try.
