We can say that the game variant succeeds very well in imitating movie performances.

Despite the lack of real challenge, Marvel's Spider-Man is an absolutely excellent title, with a fascinating, iper-detailed Manhattan and an incredible amount of high quality contents. The best game of the "web-slinger" ever.

There's a great story, beautiful graphics, excellent voice acting and simply lots of fun to play. There's lots of DLC on the way and potential for sequels, so we'll definitely get caught in this spider's web again.

It will, without a doubt, stand for some time as the definitive Spider-Man video game.

A welcome return for PlayStation's original superhero icon, Insomniac Games have not just given us another sublime PlayStation exclusive but also the best superhero blockbuster the PS4 has ever seen. Spider-Man is a thunderous, essential triumph that bleeds cinematic splendor from every digital pore. Every PS4 owner needs to have Spider-Man in their collection.

Spider-Man is indeed the new souffe expected for the license and a nice note of intent for the universe that Marvel wants to install in video games. Beautiful visually, the game makes us live epic moments thanks to a controlled staging despite an uneven adventure that delivers its best moments at the end.

Marvel's Spider-Man is charming and energetic, action-packed and surprisingly capable of tugging on your heart strings to deliver a one-two punch to the emotional gut. If you had to sum up Marvel's Spider-Man in one word, nothing would be more apt than…amazing.

Marvel's Spider-Man doesn't innovate on the open-world genre, but Insomniac doubled down on creating a spectacular Spider-Man fantasy. It simply feels good to travel through Peter Parker's New York as the webslinger, even if whatever Spidey-suit you choose is covering a competent and entirely expected open-world formula. Filled with more emotion, heart, and humanity than we've seen in superhero adventures before, Insomniac doesn't need to reinvent the open-world wheel. Marvel's Spider-Man embraces the man behind the mask and gives us the best interactive Spider-Man experience to date.

Spider-Man's mechanics feel fluid and satisfying enough to keep players engaged throughout the entire campaign.

Marvel's Spider-Man offers adrenaline rushes but also some free falls. If the incarnation of the Spider is breathtaking in this great playground that is New York, it is legitimate to hope a plot and more inspired missions while the formula is copied and pasted from recent Batman games. Spider-Man PS4 is solid and generous, but it lacks daring and originality.

This is the Spider-Man we know and love, but so much so that it's to a fault. "Spider-Man" for PS4 does more than enough to make comic fans and webhead fans happy. It clears the middling bar for Spider-Man games. It's the best Spider-Man game ever made. But, its uninspired narrative keeps it from reaching the heights of the "Arkham" series. Admittedly, that's a tough series to top. This is just the beginning for this new vision of Spider-Man and his journey, and his best tales may be waiting around the corner.

After 30 hours, I've wrapped up Spider-Man's story, completed a substantial amount of its side content, and have almost got every suit mod and skill in the game, and I just want to keep playing. Though it has a few minor blemishes here and there, they're never significant enough to really detract from the overall experience.

So far the best Spider-Man game with many great moments, but also a little diligence.

Marvel's Spider-Man mixes the prestige ambitions of a Sony exclusive with the hyperkinetic fun of a great superhero game. It's not a pairing you'd expect to work, but it mostly does here, though some aspects of the open-world design, like repetitive side content, let down the overall package.

Every prominent character featured comes across as a natural fit for the world Insomniac have built, as well as Marvel's detailed history. In a similar way, this feels like the most authentic Spider-Man game that's ever been made. It captures every aspect of the hero and his secret identity that fans have come to love, all while delivering a lengthy experience that feels like a childhood dream of defying gravity finally come to fruition.

What a pleasure to finally see a Spider Man game that manages to make us feel very powerful, like a superhero and better yet worthy of the popularity and legacy of this iconic character.

Insomniac Games just hits the jackpot. Marvel's Spider-Man is a spectacular game, with a dynamic gameplay, but it lacks inspiration and originality when it comes to the side quests.

This is best Spider-man game ever made, and one of the top games on PlayStation 4. There's a little something here for everyone and even if you're just a fan of the movies or a die-hard that reads the plethora Spidey comic books, you will find something to love.
