amazon Marvel’s Spider-Man reviews
Marvel’s Spider-Man – Spider-Man has long been one of the most beloved superhero characters of all time, alongside Batman and Superman.
When the media was stronger, the era of superheroes “mushroomed” with new heroes loved by everyone, the “friendly neighbor” Spidey has always won the hearts of fans. His heat has never waned.
Since its inception, Spider-Man has received a series of “follow-up” products such as movies, cartoons, toys … And video games are no exception when Insomniac Games has just released the game. the latest model with a simple name Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Does Marvel’s Spider-Man have all the elements to become a title worthy of Spider-Man’s name?
As Peter Parker, also known as the “friendly neighbor” Spider-Man, players will explore a majestic Manhattan with skyscrapers, kind people, and … ferocious bad guy.
Creating success for Marvel’s Spider-Man can not help but mention the level of detail that Insomniac Games has built a lot.
Manhattan District of New York City is created very vividly, with each area simulated to be real-life (of course, with some fictional details of the Marvel universe), ensuring players will bring love to this beauty while flying over Manhattan.
More and later, as the progress of the game’s content develops, the player can easily recognize the changes in the city, step by step, from a peaceful place, suddenly engulfed in a “sea of fire” and Crime.
The inhabitants of the game are also very friendly and welcoming with Spider-Man.
During the game, when these characters meet you, they always greet you, sometimes take pictures of you, sometimes “show off” on social networks about meeting you.
Without exception, as a “friendly neighbor”, the player can have Spidey waved back with some bold lines of Spider.
Not only in terms of graphics, but the sound of the game is also done very well.
What is special to mention is Yuri Lowenthal’s voice for Spider-Man.
He has been extremely successful at portraying Spider-Man’s personality, perhaps even better than previous cinematic versions.
Other characters do their job well, and the characters all have a certain emotion and personality through their words.
The sound effects are also done very meticulously, with clear near and far range, combined with “bold” Hollywood music.
It all feels like putting you in a real Spider-Man movie, the movie industry’s blockbuster standard!
Peter Parker, now 23 years old, has been around for eight years, is mature enough to take a more serious and correct view of life, but still young enough to be enthusiastic and active in his work…
Teaming up with Yuri Watanabe, the chief of the New York police team, Spider-Man stops conflicts between criminal gangs, assists the police, and rescues the people to bring peace to the city.
The strength of Marvel’s Spider-Man is not in the plot, because the details in the game are quite predictable and not too prominent, the last boss is even quite familiar and revealed very early, the game also has no love “Brain twist” to let players feel surprised.
However, the way Insomniac Games builds up the plot, as well as characters, will cause players to be brought into a “vortex” of emotions for the characters.
Whether bad guys or heroes, they are not born like that, they are the result of countless tragedies that happen in their lives and Marvel’s Spider-Man has successfully built the reason for the existence of each individual.
Seemingly unfamiliar, they have a close bond with each other that players will gradually discover in the game, their history, the reason they act, all built in a great way.
Besides, unlike other games where the player only plays the superhero role, in Marvel’s Spider-Man, players can also see Peter Parker’s everyday face.
His casual relationships also play a big part in the plot, portraying the idyllic sides of this Manhattan’s most beloved hero.
Thanks to that, we can also see the concerns and worries that Peter has to suffer behind the mask and everyone can see how Peter has grown after eight years as a hero.
Besides, players can play several other characters, playing a huge role in Peter’s life that the writer does not want to reveal because it will ruin your experience!
And of course, Peter Parker cannot be a perfect Spider-Man without two elements: humor and “obscenity”!
In this aspect, Insomniac Games will completely “defeat” the player when building a guy Spidey like stepping from the comic.
Marvel’s Spider-Man contains very hilarious conversations between Spiders and related characters, especially with Yuri Watanabe, with the enemies, as well as the “monologue” of the Spider while swinging around the city.
A typical sentence when fighting an enemy using rockets of Spider-Man that every time I read makes the writer laugh: “Why do you waste your time throwing rockets at a web shooter in shrink this stretch? ”
That’s not to mention the satire of the cinematic versions that fans will surely recognize.
Spider’s humor is a “medicine” to relieve the thrill of the plot, which is very cleverly integrated!
Besides, the game has portrayed a guy Peter Parker can not be “unlucky” than we rarely see in other Spider-Man games.
Because of a series of events happening in the game, we can only “surprise” because it is impossible to find anyone so “unlucky”.
From housework to relationships, as well as in the heroic aspect, every side is “lower”.
Some things make us laugh because of Spider-Man’s monologue, but there are times when we just wish we could just smile at Spider a little more …
Adventure across Manhattan, players also pick up old items that Peter had indiscriminately placed around the city, opening up little stories about Peter’s past with his comments.
The costumes in the game are also very beautifully designed, sticking to the original material, while also having great skills related to the costume.
Not only “score” in the graphics and content construction, but Marvel’s Spider-Man gameplay is also very interesting and ready to “takedown” all players.
It wouldn’t be a true Spider-Man game without a swinging mechanism across New York City.
The game has been successful in creating a great swing mechanism, making the player “feel” to become the real Spider-Man.
Although there are not too many instructions on how to swing properly, by some “miracle”, swinging the rope will come to the player as a natural reflex.
The more you later, the more you can upgrade more skills to optimize this experience.
Although easy to access, swinging requires a lot of upgrade and practice to be able to perfect your mobility faster and more neatly, because this is an extremely important mechanism to help you complete. Several missions and challenges in the game.
This mechanism will not be able to shine like that if the physics in the game is not good.
Spider-Man’s swing is modeled after a pendulum in physics.
If Spider-Man dropped the rope while in the lowest position, the speed gained would be maximum; If you release the rope while at the highest position, although you cannot reach the high speed, the inertial force will push the player to a higher position.
Although not as shining as the swinging mechanism, battles across Manhattan will also make players excited.
Although Marvel’s Spider-Man’s combat system bears many similarities to the Batman: Arkham series, Insomniac Games has successfully “borrowed” and turned those ideas into a distinct feature of the game.
While flying around the city, you will accidentally encounter enemies with increasing density as the game progresses.
The game has a variety of enemies, but they have their strengths and weaknesses, requiring players to learn how to move and react appropriately.
Depending on the size of the clashes, the number and quality of the enemy will change.
In this regard, the game is quite balanced when both the enemy and the boss are not too difficult to defeat, but still, need practice and correct reaction to not lose too much advantage.
The special thing that Marvel’s Spider-Man has created for criminals is that they are not “afraid” of Spidey, when confronted, they will jump in and attack without hesitation.
That is also the premise to promote the effects of Spider-Sense.
Spider fans are sure to know about Spider-Sense, this is a special ability for the Spider to recognize the dangers that are about to strike him to dodge and counterattack.
Using agility as the key, Marvel’s Spider-Man has been able to show his versatility and versatility in launching attacks, dodging, shooting, and killing enemies one by one.
The stealth ability, though not having too many highlights, also plays its role, contributing to diversifying gameplay.
When Spider-Man is out of sight of enemies in an area, he can choose a location to quickly take down an enemy without being detected.
A little bad point is that in the enemy base areas, players can only stealthily defeat the first wave of enemies.
From the second wave onwards, no matter where you are, they will find out and fire a gun at you.
Marvel’s Spider-Man has three skill branches to upgrade, as well as a variety of supportive “toys”.
Each skin also can tweak attributes, as well as special skills.
Each change offers its advantages, either manual or manual, depending on your playstyle.
Players will adventure throughout Manhattan, collecting tokens through challenges, exploration, collection, research, and battle.
Depending on the type of tool, outfit or adjustment will require different tokens to craft.
Nothing is perfect
Although it is a very attractive game with quite a high level of perfection, our Spiderman also suffers a small minus point that makes the player feel unsatisfied.
Marvel’s Spider-Man has too many small cutscenes.
I have absolutely no opinion on the fact that there are many cutscenes because this is a feature of the games from Sony.
However, Marvel’s Spider-Man is another category.
Throughout the main content and sometimes sidequests, players will encounter countless moments of “bloody” dealing with criminals, a cut-scene appears.
Even more frustrating, these cutscenes sometimes last only a few dozen seconds, then let you play a little and continue to repeat a few times like that.
Imagine the game as a movie, when you are indulging in it there are advertisements, and this break keeps popping up after a few minutes.
You will “experience” this annoyance right from the first moments of entering the game.
This makes the player’s experience “downhill” quite a lot.
Perhaps, the developer should gather into a long cutscene to help “lose interest” more players.
Sometimes, something too much is not good!
