A satisfying end to a three-part story that had a couple swings and misses.
Much like its predecessors Silver Lining is over in an hour with a slight extension offered for sidequests, and three more suits. Then bam, there's a proper Stan Lee dedication, credits roll, and the wait begins. Hopefully Spider-Man 2 builds on top of everything we've seen so far, including the DLC trilogy.
Silver Lining ends The City That Never Sleeps with grace but its grander ambitions make it more than yet another Spider-Man chapter.
Silver Lining manages to recover the rhythm after the Territory Wars fall and puts the quality bar back at the level of the main adventure, becoming the best of the three DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man and a very satisfactory ending for The City that Never sleeps.

A good ending to this line of DLCs despite not including a lot of new things, specially because of it's nice narrative.

Silver Linings offers some fun moments, but ultimately lands on its face. However, I have all the confidence in the world that Insomniac's Spider-Man will bounce back, either in future DLC or the sequel.
It felt shorter than the past episodes, but also satisfying to see this story arc come to an end. The surprise cameo was much appreciated, but I think we all knew that character wasn't really dead.
If you have completed the main game and want an additional portion of the story, we recommend you to play the DLC. At least the first and the third will hardly disappoint you.

We'd have preferred a little more oomph for the DLC's finale, but the silver lining is that the implications for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 are definitely interesting.
Though mechanically unambitious, Silver Lining puts a workmanlike though effective capper on Spider-Man's City Never Sleep DLC series all the while paving the way for grander and hopefully more innovative adventures farther down the road.
