Granted, I am only a few hours into the game, but so far the primary objective boils down to Help The Cops. Not just any cops, either, but the NYPD specifically, because the game takes place in a true-to-life rendering of New York City. Its dumb to expect video games to be responsible reflections of real life, but it is also impossible, for me at least, to not feel some ickiness about the game forcing me into cahoots with even a fictionalized version of the NYPD, an organization that routinely oppresses some of the most vulnerable residents of the city I live in.

What this new game does is put Spider-Man up on a perch where he doesnt belong. Hes no longer performing heroic deeds out of just the goodness of his heart, but also for the purpose of solidifying the existing power structures grip on the city.
