Spider-Man PS4 Critique | An Imperfect Marvel

With Spider-Man: Miles Morales around the corner I figured I'd revisit Spider-Man PS4 to see if it lives up to my memory. This is a commentary, a critique, a retrospective, and an understanding of what makes Marvel's Spider-Man as spectacular as we all remember, and what lessons can be learned for future installments.

It’s been two years since Spider-Man arrived on the PS4, and collectively made a million consoles scream and creak under its weight, and with Miles Morales just around the corner – and this terrifying new version of Peter cynically announced by Insomniac – I figured I’d return to the game and critique the good, the bad, and the DLC to see if it still holds up, and whether or not it deserves a spot in my games of the generation list. We’ll be walking through everything here, treat this as more of a commentary than a straight-up critique as we’ll be exploring parts of the story in almost excruciating detail, so don’t say I haven’t warned you:
Spoilers Ahead.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The video got a copyright claim against it because I used a song FROM THE GAME THANKS YOUTUBE. So I had to cover it with some generic blues.
