As much as I love spider-man growing up, played almost all the games before Spider-Man 2, unfortunately I have to give this one a thumbs down.

- The lines are mediocre and borderline cringy; the conversations feels empty, especially in-between conversation where there's an awkward pause before the conversation continues.

- The animation is somewhat rushed by the looks of it. Some of the cutscenes body language looked like it was from a PS2 game.

- The story narrative was predictable. They could've try harder to make the story more mysterious and engaging, but it's plain obvious.

- The map got bigger, but less activities to complete. Rather have old map but plenty of hideouts and side missions to complete. The map feels empty, just a place to swing around here and there. Not to mention they add wings which disrupts the feeling of becoming spiderman. Instead of swinging from point A to point B, simply just launch yourself to the air and glide for 2000 metres.

- Every patch made the crash worse, when I managed to not get a crash playing for 2 hours straight, recent patch made my game crash every 30 minutes. Really kills the flow.

- The combat is still good however, they just more gadgets added, which kind of made combat easier rather than challenging. The parry mechanic is ♥♥♥♥ though.

- Yuri's/Wraith's story is underwhelming. Loved her lines and story in the first game, but in this, she's shallow because it seems they rush her side quest story to focus other parts of the game.

- Force injecting LGBTQ+ movement instead of being subtle like the first game. Made me uncomfortable doing some of the side quests, rushed it instead of trying to understand whatever is happening.

I rather wait several years for this to come out to PC like the first Spider-Man and God Of War than playing a rushed released game that includes bugs, poor optimization and crashes. Now I have to try finish this game to get my money worth. If I have enough patience, I will try to get 100% achievement. The 30 minute crash really threw me off.

TL;DR Story is predictable, lines are cringy, animation is rushed, map got bigger but less activities, game crashes after every new patch.

EDIT: Can't even reach finish a single 10 minute side quest before the game crashed.

EDIT #2: Maybe I was too harsh about my review of this game. After finishing it, then finish again in NG+ with Ultimate+ difficulty, getting 100% achievement, I can finally say the truth.

I AM GLAD IM FINISHED WITH THIS UNFINISHED GAME. I'M SO GLAD I CAN FINALLY UNINSTALL IT!

The story is longer than miles morales' game but shorter than first game. The storyline was overall stale; the first 75% of the story was so dull, just fillers to reach the other 25% of the story, which actually got intense moments, emotional deep connecting lines, exciting combat and great cutscenes.

Sad to know that after finishing the game, its multiple DLCs were cancelled. What a waste of money. I suggest you to get this game at a 50% sale or higher, not any less. That is if you can endure the pain staking cringy lines, awkward pauses in between conversations, ♥♥♥♥ dodge and parry mechanic. Otherwise, just watch the story in YouTube. Hopefully a remaster will come in the near future.
