Spider-Man PS4 The Heist Review: 4 Ups And 3 Downs

2. Black Cat Gameplay

It was known for a while now that Black Cat would be the star of the first piece of downloadable content, but Insomniac had been able to keep it under wraps that she'd feature in gameplay too.

While players never find themselves with the option to play as Felicia Hardy, she does feature in both stealth and combat sections. Players can highlight targets for her to take down, and she'll even intervene in combat sections too by delivering the occasional instant takedown. Sure, it's lightyears away from the dual-play style combat found in Rocksteady's Arkham games, but it made for a nice surprise, and featured in The Heist's most enjoyable gameplay sections.

We can only hope that Insomniac implement this feature with some of Spidey's other allies, but even if they don't, this served as a great tease of things to come. It's only a matter of time before Miles Morales is teaming up with Peter in the field, and with other Marvel characters inevitably set to feature at one point or another, it's great to see the studio experiment in the DLC.
