The most beloved arachnid in comics wins a surprising, electrifying and very fun game

Superhero games are not easy to make. And when talking about Spider-Man, there is more quantity than quality. Only a few titles from Spider-Man remained in the memory of the fans and the “teioso” was in need of a game at his height for a long time. 64321a

Ready to live the Spider's greatest adventure?

It was at this difficult time that the studio behind hits like Sunset Overdrive e Ratchet & Clank, Insomniac Games, came to rescue our dear hero of average and forgettable games with an incredible and exclusive adventure for the PlayStation 4.

A Sony gave in to showmetech a physical copy of Marvel's Spider-Man for testing and, after a week of intense and electrifying gameplay, we present you with a complete analysis of this game that exceeds many expectations.

In addition to its incredible gameplay, which we will discuss later, one of the game's most outstanding elements is certainly its story. In addition to being well built and exploring the characters we already know like Peter Parker, Mary Jane and many others, it is completely independent of any films already released about the Spider man.

Time to save New York!

In this way, it is not a “fresh” story so to speak, but allows players who do not follow the character’s trajectory to don't feel lost during the plot. But that's not to say Insomniac has forgotten about Spider-Man's hardcore fans.

The game is filled with easter eggs and references to recent films and series from Marvel As one of the game's optional goals is to use Peter's photographic skills to take pictures of landmarks in New York, don't be surprised if you find some familiar locations along the way. The famous avengers tower, for example, is the tallest building in the city!

In addition to the photos, other collectibles are scattered throughout the game, such as Peter's old backpacks, which are scattered throughout the game.open world.

These items scattered throughout the game world help to make the story more concise, but their main power lies in the excellent performance of the characters. Whether they are heroes or villains, they are all dense and complex characters, with believable emotions and interpretations capable of suring many of those we've had the chance to see on the big screen with the arachnid films.

The player has the opportunity to see how well-built the characters are because the game allows you to play with multiple players, such as Mary Jane or Miles Morales (a newly introduced character in the Spider-Man canon that I won't reveal more details to avoid spoilers).

Mary Jane has her chance to shine and help the hero in the game.

In these special segments of the game, the gameplay is broken up a bit to build the message that everyone can be a hero in some way, even if they don't have superpowers. A teaching that the humble spider-man always conveyed in his adventures.

It's surprising how the game manages to explore the history of so many characters in such a detailed way. From investigative missions, combat challenges, and even pigeon hunting, expect to discover details that even the most ionate fans would miss.

But Marvel's Spider-Man is not just a game with a well-built story and great characters. The game has fun, exciting mechanics and a combat system that is inspired by the gameplay of the Batman Arkham series games. Therefore, all fights are fluid and our hero's "Spider sense" works to alert him to enemy blows to dodge at the right moment.

In addition to the solid combat system, the player also has special skills, costumes and devices. As completing side quests and beating enemies while taking the least amount of damage yield experience points to get skill points, it is highly recommended that the player train hard before heading into the heaviest fights in history.

Os costumes different from Spider-Man are a show apart. In addition to paying tribute to the different moments along the arachnid's journey in comics, films and animated series, each of them has a special ability which can be activated when the player's combo bar is at its maximum. Couple that with different upgrades that you can activate with each outfit, and the result is different combinations for use in combat.

The player also has different gadgets developed by Peter Parker to help him in his missions. From electric web shooters to a mini spider robot, there are several equipment to be unlocked and improved for use in combat. Many are essential when facing a large group of enemies, when just shooting webs and firing punches and kicks may not be enough.

That costume made by Tony Stark comes in very handy!

Fortunately, whenever you feel “caught in a web”, in a difficult situation, you can use our dear arachnid's ability to swing through the air with its webs. In fact, this feature is certainly one of the most fun and exciting in the game.

Swinging between the buildings of New York, and crossing great distances just by gliding in the air, gives the player a great feeling of power and freedom. The mechanics have been implemented so efficiently and fun that the fast travel system might take a back seat. But believe me, the cutscenes that occur in these moments are priceless!

“Flying” through New York.

The only mechanic in the game that leaves something to be desired and breaks the rhythm of the gameplay are the puzzles to fix mechanisms and identify chemical substances. Some of them are even so simple that the player may start to question if it was really necessary for the game. Os puzzles could be smarter, that really test the player's powers of wit and be more than just mundane puzzle and pattern recognition minigames. After all, Spider-Man is smarter than that, isn't he?

A Spider-Man game would be nothing without the proper setting. Reproducing the island of Manhattan with some fidelity and in a way that the game world is alive and complements the adventure is not an easy task, and Insomniac did a great job in this aspect.

In addition to lush graphics, the most important thing is that you feel New York City alive. There are always crimes happening around the city, pedestrians react to your actions and even greet you or try to take pictures! The way the city was built even contributes to the mobility mechanics, as you will never crash into a building or tree, as the game allows the arachnid to dodge
