I wouldn't really recommend this game. It's overpriced.

Combat isn't as fluid as the prevous game and the gadgets are poorly designed. The only redeeming quality is that the finishers are better and that Miles has amazing powers that are fun to experiment.

Story is very lackluster, I was hoping it wouldn't be just pointless pandering, but it was. The villain is just beyond pathetic, the game tries to make her a tragic villain while being a literal terrorist. Nobody calls her out on her stupidity except once, and that was fully ignored. Also, Miles is much stronger than anyone there and could have ended every fight in seconds, the reason why it worked in the last game is because Peter was very wounded and he got ganged up.

What I was hoping for also is that Miles wouldn't be such a pushover, as much as the Spider-Man had a good story, MJ and Peter were killing the mood by MJ being a ♥♥♥♥ for no reason and Peter being a doormat for also no real reason. There is a big difference between being a nice person and lacking a spine. Here, the dynamic is the same, except we boost it.

The swinging is somehow even better, it's so amazing and the double jump with Venom is an excellent thing they added, also the tricks you can do are better, easier to pull off, there are more of them and they give you your power back so you have to use them.

Suits are hit or miss, again, less than before and not so great. Some are just plain amazing, "The End" and the Prowler style are just so good. "Animated" and "Spiderverse" skins are almost the same and the rest are fine or boring.

Having more ways to takedown your enemy is always a good thing and I really hope they leave it in the next game.

The biggest flaw is that the mentor/student relationship isn't worked on in this game. I expected a lot more calls from Peter, for them to talk about things, provide advice etc., but the moments with Aaron were sweet and pointless since all the conflict would have been resolved if those 2 talked to each other.

All in all, you should get this game for 10-15 euros, asking for more than that is a ripoff. You get 1/4 of the game with worse characters, you shouldn't pay so much for it.
