Spider-Man

My 300th game and it is one of the best superhero games I've played in a long time

Game no: 300
Genre: Action
Platform: PS4
Released Date: 2018





Why this is a great open world game?
- Insomniac created a good representation of New York city where each section is divided with things to do.
- Things to do include research station, base challenges, crimes in the city, pigeon hunting and backpack collectiing
- Research stations have you doing different types of challenges from fixing the network to cleaning up the air in the sky.
- The way insomniac designs the things to do is the rules of three. They keep changing types of things to do so you won't feel bored.
Let's  list down the things that we can do
Base challengees
- The demons, prisoners, thugs, sables agents
Research centers
- Spider drones, network fixing, air purifying, steam fixing, soil testing, circuit building, spectrum analysis
City crimes
- Hostage situation, store robbery, drug dealings, snipers on the roof, bomb diffuse, kidnapping, car hijacking
Side missions
- The backpacks are scattered all around and are easy to find. Finding them is a delight and there are short stories behind them
- Taking picture around landmarks and other key locations.

Spider-Man as a character
- The animation on the character is flawless. The key aspect of the character which is the swinging is nailed perfectly.
- He sticks to the wall but by pressing R2. Spider-man can run which makes all the past Spider-Man a drag to play.
- There are stealth missions but he doesn't have the same finesse as Batman
- The combat is amazing and Spider-Man can use different gadgets to rack up more combo.
- Spider-Man has multiple suits each with it own special ability. My favorite suit is the classic suit with the web blossom ability.

Story
- From start to finish the game story give you a lot of insight on the motive of the bad guys and why Peter needs to stop them.
- There are suddenly breaks in becoming Spider-Man and where you need to be another different character
- This is by far one of the best superhero adaptation to date
- The ending is very sad but in the end it sets up for an interesting sequel

Status: My first game where I actually 100% it and got the Platinum trophy

Verdict: One of my contender for game of the year. A must play if you own a PS4
