Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist Reviews
Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist DLC is more of the same.
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.
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.
While The Heist has a strong story—or at least the start of one—it doesn't fill out the world or give Peter any additional gameplay growth. Mary Jane gets another boring stealth segment. There's a single requisite set of collectibles. Added suits give visual flair only. Embracing Peter's human side as he swings through the city was always a strong point of Marvel's Spider-Man, but I had hoped the DLC episodes would begin to improve on some of the weaknesses in the main game. Instead, The Heist makes them more apparent than ever. Perhaps the complete The City That Never Sleeps arc should have been released as single robust expansion, rather than three piecemeal episodes that are just giving us more Spidey at a trickle.
Still an enjoyable experience, but a lack of new content is really dissapointig.

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.

The narrative surrounding Black Cat and Spider-Man is interesting and engaging, but the side stuff is recycled and disappointingly thin.
What stands out about Spider-Man: The Heist isn't the content, though there are a fairly substantial amount of cutscenes, but how little it adds. Even if some things are different or new, they don't much value. Costumes don't add new powers, nor do abilities change, so the main motivator is story, followed by trophies. Combine this with there just being a hint of an upcoming confrontation with a major villain and it's the type of experience that might lead to greater things but isn't great itself. So, unless you're dying to play more, I strongly suggest waiting to see where this adventure goes.
The Heist It's a disappointing DLC for a superb game. While people might be interested in Black Cat character, at the end they would probably gonna feel that $10 dollars for this are not worth it.

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.

More than anything, The Heist leaves you begging for more, and I guess that's what the idea was. It's just enough more Spider-Man to get you back into the swing of things, but it leaves you hanging with an abrupt ending and minimal new side content. But at only $10, it's worth it to get back into Insomniac's lovingly created New York.
Quotation forthcoming.

More of the same, but it offers the same fun and smooth playing style with more light on Black Cat.

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.
As the first piece of DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man, The Heist offers a few exciting story missions and some very cool extras.
Overall, The Heist – considered as the first piece of a larger story – is a great start. First episode of three, it represents a good start for the season pass "The city that never sleeps". The story is excellent, the characterization of the new character, Black Cat, is very apt and more generally the activities entertain and entertain. Those who expected some substantial news also on the gameplay side will be a little disappointed; collectors will be able to enjoy the three new costumes available.

A fun DLC that doen't make anything new, but still entertain during the 3 hours that it lasts.

Black Cat's DNA was already spliced into side activities in Spider-Man so her appearance makes sense, even if the "to be continued" ending is a bummer (I guess that eliminates the idea of further DLCs being standalone). It's not the most explosive beginning, but it does feel like more of a natural extension rather than a tacked-on thing. As does the possible baby mamma drama.
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.
