Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) is a great game!
I loved being able to take control of everyone's favourite web head and explore Manhattan.
When you insert the disk, you can expect a 50GB update so be prepared to wait a little time to play.
The menu screen is simple and easy to use, nothing too exiting on it.
The web swinging mechanics are the best I've seen in a Spider-Man game to date. It is accurate not letting you attach to thin air and requiring you to have a surface to attach to.
The fighting in the game is decent, but can be very much button mashing exercise. be prepared to press the square button a lot should you get into a fight with many enemies. everything is down to timing tho, as you will press the circle button to evade incoming attacks. some enemies in the game might require a more tactical approach as based on their stature or weapon they can block, or are immune to, certain attacks. the only other variety of enemies are bosses, which you may recognise from films, other games and comics.
The main story for the game is enjoyable, but just as it feels as its coming together it comes to an end. I feel the build up to some of the enemy's was disappointing. Such as Vulture, I fought with him no more than 3 times in the whole game. feels like a missed opportunity.
During the story there are opportunities to play as Miles Morales (as a regular person, although hints at him becoming Spider-Man in either a Sequel or a piece of Downloadable Content) and Mary Jane Watson.
The side missions in the game are very repetitive, with crime prevention and base shut down against 4 different factions. Research stations have some variety, but there is definitely an underlying feeling of copy paste mission types.
There are 27 different suits to unlock in the game (1 of which is for 100% completion)
There are 8 different Gadgets, mostly revolving around web abilities. These can all be upgraded to improved versions.
There are 3 major skill areas; Innovator (12 skills), Defender (11 skills) & Webslinger (11 skills)
I would estimate around 15 - 20 hours of playtime in this game, although the story could probably be done in under 10 hours.
Id recommend the game, but not sure if its worth the asking price. just feels like its lacking some content.

Very good game without a real competitor
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2019
The game is very fun. It's not a masterpiece is just a solid well made, fun, spiderman game, obviously the best the spider ever had. This is enough for the game to be celebrated because he has absolutely no competition, there are no games made like this in new gen, for others heroes (batman like but newer, less dark, more action, less thinking).it's the classic sandbox game with filler quest (very plain and repetitive, but the codex is very well filled), but the gameplay is fun enough to hold the whole game, it's very very funny to keep swinging in the city. Graphics is really great for a limited hardware as the PS4/pro, i'm impressed. One of the funniest game on PS4, no doubt.OFF topic:Amazon.it is usually great with customer support, my sister bought me an amazon gift card in UK (she lives in london) and i bought this and spyro with a little more money added for the difference. Both arrived destroyed and the only option i get is to resend them (and wait like another month?) to get refound-sostitution (yeah to get another one destroyed, because they have no intention to protect them, they usually use the littlest package they can). The package was perfect, but with absolute no protection inside, well done, amazon.co.uk.
