The ending of this first installment of the DLC certainly ends on a cliffhanger, leaving us excited for November's content. Whether you play it now or wait until all three DLCs are out, The Heist is definitely worth the price of admission and the four hours it takes to complete.

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.

The narrative surrounding Black Cat and Spider-Man is interesting and engaging, but the side stuff is recycled and disappointingly thin.

Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist might not have been revolutionary, but perhaps it's not supposed to be yet. It is the first part of a series of DLC, and as such, it leaves a lot of unresolved questions. I feel like I've officially "met" Felicia Hardy, and I'm certainly looking forward to where her story goes next.

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+.

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 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.

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.

As the first piece of DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man, The Heist offers a few exciting story missions and some very cool extras.

Marvel's Spider-Man is one of the best superhero games ever made so you can assume that a lot of gamers are looking forward to its first piece of DLC. Called The Heist this campaign starts the 3 part adventure in The City that Never Sleeps and it's everything one could hope for. Delivering the same solid Spider-Man experience the core campaign provided and ending with an enticing cliffhanger that will keep players yearning for the next part.

Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist is a solid start to this post-launch content, yet I still would have liked to see more of a focus between the two characters.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

After a great campaign, Spider-Man first DLC feels pretty underwhelming. Even if adds new challenges and the chance of getting every suit in the game (in case you couldn't get it on the main story), doesn't feel necessary as other story content you can find in single player games.
