As for the open world? Well, there are the usual tasks to do.
Wilson Fisk has plenty of old hideouts to raid, you will get addicted to doing all the collectibles, and the Oscorp lab missions all provide their own unique minigames to solve. Add in challenges by the villainous Taskmaster and a few surprise distractions to deal with along the way - one that teases the first piece of upcoming DLC - and this game is in no way short of content.
It's not a case of quantity over quality though - New York is chockfull with detail, a fact made evident by the addition of numerous city-wide landmarks. Players can visit the exteriors of the Sanctum Santorum, Avengers Tower and the Wakandan Embassy, among other locales, and with each district all looking unique in their own way (Hell's Kitchen is dark and gothic, while Times Square is bursting with light), the visual delineation helps to make this version of NYC feel genuinely marvellous.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
