Ended up finishing Spider-Man. What a way to end! Some of the story beats didn't really hit with me, releasing everyone from the Raft felt more lame than cool but everything about that final battle/ending sequence was fantastic. Wow.

The lowest point of the game was the stealth sections. The ones with Spider-Man himself were mostly fun, since getting caught just meant combat which was all well and good, but the MJ ones were boring and lame (other than the cool story stuff and the actually fun one where she could summon Peter), and the Miles ones were abysmal (and had zero story value on top of that). The best part of the game was the traversal. Making moving around fun is a huge plus for an open world game (and any game, really, but especially open world games), and they nailed it... mostly. Webslinging is super fun for about half the game, and it's still enjoyable in the second half, but it kinda loses its luster? There's no progression, so it's not really all that exciting later on. I kinda feel the same about the world in general. Recreating New York like that is an incredible feat, and combined with the fun of webslinging I enjoyed just going around doing the random tasks for a while, but I was never really engaged with the world? I never felt a drive to explore. I barely learned where anything was - it was always just following target markers. I would've been perfectly happy with a smaller map, since I didn't care about most of the details. A few of those tasks probably could've been excised too - I did basically everything up until the prison section, and there was no reason for, say, the pigeons to exist.

Other aspects: graphics very pretty. Puzzles alright, except tower puzzles bad. Story solid with some great parts. Bosses eh, except the final battle and the Electro/Vulture fight. Kingpin fight at the start too hard.I feel like I should've liked this more, but there were some points where I really hated the game and wondered why I was even playing it. Like why is Sable even in this game? Their role was stupid. Bleh. At least it ended on a high enough mark to leave a positive impression. Not sure I'd be too interested in a sequel, especially since they seem to be going with Miles Spider-Man rather than Spider-Gwen ;_;.
