Spider-Man PS4: 10 Major Worries Nobody Wants To Admit
8. Boss Fights Not Being Fun
We've seen a glimpse at the Shocker boss fight from this year's E3, but it didn't look all too compelling. Previous Spider-Man games have also failed to have meaningful boss encounters, so let's hope this time it's different.
The problem with boss fights in Spider-Man games is that they often don't make the most out of what makes Spidey interesting.
When fighting Shocker, Spider-Man essentially just avoids his attacks and throws rocks at him until he eventually falls. Although Shocker is a pretty minor villain, it would have been much cooler to have them fighting in an outdoor area where Shocker can do more interesting things.
There is some evidence that Insomniac Games has got this right, and the Electro chase through the RAFT prison looks pretty amazing. If more boss encounters can rely on mobility rather than just punching and throwing things, this worry will definitely go away.
Here's hoping.
