Combat is fast-paced and fluid, integrating both melee and web attacks into an expansive system. Whilst there is a fast travel system, I found myself hardly using it was always infinitely more fun to swing across the rooftops to my destination. Traversal is the game’s best example of this. One of Insomniac’s strongest points as a studio is their ability to create incredibly satisfying mechanics. Mechanically, Marvel’s Spider-Man is a joy to play. Culminating in an impactful ending, this is one of the best Spider-Man stories I have ever experienced. Insomniac has created a gripping story portraying Peter Parker’s struggle to manage increased responsibility in both his own life and as Spider-Man. Mr Negative serves as the catalyst to bring Peter Parker’s and Spider-Man’s worlds crashing together. Negative acts as the game's primary antagonist Peter’s relationships with characters like Mary Jane, Norman Osborn, Aunt May and his roster of villains are well established from the beginning, meaning the story can focus more on the introduction of its primary antagonist, Mr Negative. Eight years of history brings with it a host of benefits to the story.
This allows for an interesting take on the character that casual fans of the movies have not yet seen. Peter Parker is a 23-year-old college graduate who is no stranger to the mask, having been Spider-Man for eight years. The story ditches the played-out origin, but at the same time, opts for a much older Spider-Man than is usually portrayed. The writing team at Insomniac have crafted yet another one for the books. One of the reasons for Spider-Man’s popularity is the endearing nature of his character and the emotionally resonant stories that stem from it. This stellar optimization makes for an incredibly smooth experience. In my time with the game, I have never noticed dips in frame rate, even during busy fight sequences. Time of day can be set to afternoon, sunset or night, with each setting giving the city a unique aesthetic. Visually, New York is stunning even on a standard PS4.
