What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is excellent, has some incredible twists, and there are some ridiculously emotive side-stories and moments that really shine through who "spider-man" is, at his best, and at least 3 missions had me in tears - even on the repeat play!
The inclusion of Symbiote powers was the most exciting gameplay addition, making the combat appear more brutal, cinematic, and fresh compared to the original game.
The combat difficulty is way better balanced on all difficulties, and the ability to customise it looks really fun (although I've not tried that yet).
The web-slinging is amazing, adding web wings is a great and exhilarating new way of moving, and the sound design is totally immersive.
Those abilities are amazing and if you use a Dualsense controller it really makes you feel like you're hitting someone very hard with help of the Dualsense's haptic feedback triggers.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
