1. Side Missions Can Get Repetitive

Unfortunately, this abundance of content isn’t all worth exploring. Some of the side missions can feel particularly repetitive, and though it’s great interacting with the civilian populace, one does wonder whether or not these objectives would've been made more interesting with appearances from various Marvel heroes - the likes of Daredevil, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones the three most obvious examples.

What's more is that much of the game's side content revolves around fetch quests. They're not tedious per se - the payoff for all these missions was certainly worth it - but there was a certain monotony to some of the tasks required of the player.

On the whole, however, Marvel’s Spider-Man is Amazing, Spectacular and Sensational - it’s the Ultimate Spidey experience. Insomniac have created a world players will feel compelled to sit in and soak up, written a story that’ll be discussed for years from now, and modelled a gameplay system that’s undoubtedly Spidey’s best yet.
