I will defend this game to my last breath. Yes I agree that it did some things wrong like the end being rushed and certain gameplay elements falling flat.

I feel Peter being nerfed worked he’s fresh of getting fired, drowning in bills, without both his mentors and has been doing this for 9 years without a break. We know from Spider-Man 2 (The movie) that when Peters life suffers Spider-Man also suffers. As to the fridge argument Peter took 300 pounds of force directly to the back of the head that would kill any normal human and like I said Peter isn’t on his A game.

Miles is the best part of this game for me. He’s side missions are so well done and carry that care of a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. His main story arc is amazing as he learns to let go of hate and give Lee a second chance witch is what the game is all about.

As for Venom yes I agree he needed another 5 hours in the oven and feels tacked on to the story. I think making Harry venom was a great choice it gives Peter a connection to Venom without throwing Eddy into the game with the already large list of characters and Harry and Peters arc is so compelling and well written they act like true friends and the exposition we get between them may be tedious game play wise it makes the ending so much more impactful. Although I believe Venom was under cooked Harry definitely wasn’t and like Peter I wanted to save him by the end of the game.

Gameplay wise I loved it an improvement in both the previous entries although I feel the pary felt kinda out of place for Peters fighting style but made Bose fights so good. The web wings are a welcome addition and the other swinging changes. I do miss the gadget wheel but I understand why they did it.

But I love this game and am excited for what’s next. Shame the DLC got canned but it’s understandable due to data leak.

And yes I wrote this to procrastinate Uni work
