Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist Reviews
The Heist is fairly short, even with its new side missions, and though it does have some cool character building, it ultimately doesn't match up to the expectations set by the main game.
More of the same, but it offers the same fun and smooth playing style with more light on Black Cat.

The narrative surrounding Black Cat and Spider-Man is interesting and engaging, but the side stuff is recycled and disappointingly thin.
It's unreasonable to expect Marvel's Spider-Man The Heist to reinvent the wheel here, it's a DLC for a game that was remarkably popular, and many are clamouring for more. However, I don't think I'm the only person that will be a little disappointed at Marvel's Spider-Man playing it safe, and it's a prime example of how you can have too much of a good thing.
Still an enjoyable experience, but a lack of new content is really dissapointig.

All in all, The Heist is DLC at its best. It brings an excellent character into the foreground, complements the base experience just enough, and doubles down on why Marvel’s Spider-Man was such a great game to begin with.
As a DLC, The Heist can be considered a good title, though it could have been better. The Heist offers just enough to engage and keep the players thirsty for the next two DLCs.

It's smaller and less different than you might hope, but The Heist is more Spider-Man and it's still a whole lot of fun. The addition of Black Cat lets the story make up for what the gameplay doesn't change.
If you've platinumed the game and crave a few more hours of gameplay, The Heist does the job just fine. Just don't expect a wildly stimulating plot or any radical new additions. It's more of the same, and for some, that's okay.
Perhaps all three acts together will be a complete package worth a purchase, but this just feels like more of the same, except rushed out to meet an audience and lacking the unerring attention to detail that made the main campaign so special. Whilst Black Cat herself is pretty excellent, the story around her isn't one that is gripping, at least, not yet.
Overall, Spider-Man: The Heist adds enough new content to justify its price. The story is short but sweet and, once you wrap up the main quest, you can unlock 3 new costumes that you can use in New Game+.
Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist didn't bring any new abilities or gadgets and ends in a few hours after the beginning at the most interesting moment. Nevertheless, fans of the original story will be happy to spend some more time in the company of Peter Parker and his friends, so if you liked the base game, you can buy this add-on.

The first Spider-Man DLC is short, but a great deal of fun thanks to a great story. It feels like the start of the story though and is not stand-alone, except for the side-missions. Those offer a change of pace and make the package worth it in the end.

The first episode of the three-part DLC The City That Never Sleeps is sure to entertain the players of the original game. Aside from the main story focusing on Black Cat, it also adds a couple of new side activities, all of that for one fair price. However, you'd be better off buying the entire DLC pack instead of individual episodes.

The Heist then is a packed DLC, kicking off with a terrific new story and leaving us desperately awaiting the next episode. There’s plenty to be getting on with and with a whole new story to tell, it’s been great to jump back into Insomniac’s New York and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
The Heist strikes a good balance. Offering a thrilling start to this exciting Season Pass, while giving us lots to look forward to in the coming weeks. Slight Street Crime fatigue aside, The Heist easily ranks up there with the best DLCs this year with its quality in narrative, generous offerings, and its ability to continue iterating on an already excellent game.
The Heist is a DLC that seems incomplete. The story is interesting, but it ends up a bit too soon and therefore without any conclusion. We know there are two others DLCs on the way, but there is a feeling that an arc of the plot hasn't been finalized. In addition, the main missions and side activities are quite similar to the base game, presenting little or no novelty in the gameplay. It's worth it because it's more Spider-Man, but do not expect something really interesting.

This first DLC does not bring with it anything new, and is aimed at those who are looking for an excuse to return to the game in the form of an interesting story, but for those looking for something substantial this isn't it.

The game equivalent of a fortune cookie after a filling meal, The Heist is simply more of the same in a bite-sized package. There are few new ideas here, and a weak ending and overly short experience should make fans wary.
If you're looking for new Spider-Man content, this will definitely meet your standards despite it being part one of a three-part saga. It leaves you hanging as things get particularly interesting so this may be best experienced when all the DLCs are out by the end of 2018 but if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks, The Heist is a satisfying epilogue to the main story of Marvel's Spider-Man even with one annoying technical flaw.
