The fact they can charge full price for what's essentially more of a DLC than a standalone game is astounding, practically repeating the whole "Far Cry 5/New Dawn" fiasco. While the beginning of the game showed great promise, you soon realize that in no part of the game after the first mission do you actually get to play alongside Peter Parker. Sure, there's hologram training situations with a holo Peter that essentially try to take TaskMasters challenges in a new direction, but for a Story that you can play through in 3-4 hours on the highest difficulty while only really facing 1 main boss during the whole game and only seeing Peter for 20 minutes in the entire game it's too bland to be considered its own title. The introduction of the FNSM app was a great improvement, and the movement that Miles displays is quite unique, watching him swing backwards and pull off new finishing moves, but the whole "Venom" power and invisibility thing is a letdown. I wouldn't spend money on this game if I could go back in time, but rather just watch a cinematic playthrough on YouTube to get the whole story. There's an entire separate criminal timeline taking place with Fisk's thugs that isn't explored whatsoever despite literally walking into their base of operations and seeing Fisk on a video call from prison. The only boss you get to face (besides one encounter with the Prowler which makes literally no sense and 2 fights against Rhino that are so short and repetitive that it feels more like a chore than a boss fight) is The Tinkerer, which 1. is a stupid name and 2. feels like the worst villain in the Marvel Universe. She's basically a whiny emotional teen with no rational thought process despite being an extremely intelligent character and lifelong friend of Miles. Peter lost his uncle, Miles lost his dad, and neither of them turned dark (at least didn't stay that way as canonically Peter did "kill" someone in the Raimi films before becoming the Spiderman we all know and love today). Phin lost her brother and immediately joined a gang? Makes no sense. Also, where's Tombstone and Black Cat in the main story? In the Roxxon mission where you team up with Phin to escape, there's a computer with information on them and yet they appear nowhere. The only way this game series can truly be saved is with one really good sequel, hopefully introducing co-op as Peter and Miles, or maybe even sticking to single player with a prequel to this game but a true sequel to the first game in this series where we missed a year of the story where Miles was undergoing his training with Peter. Until then, hopefully I can stop a few people from wasting their money on a 3-4 hour story

Buggy and glitchy. My CPU load is at 25% and memory usage is only about 60% and I cant even get to the title screen without major freezing. The game itself is fun after restarting a few times so I can actually get into the game and play, but despite the 3 month delay and a 6 year gap in production since the first game, you'd think they would have this down. Hoping they implement a hotfix for the crashing and bugs, and once they do I'll update my rating
