The general sentiment around the game is praise for its combat mechanics and traversal, which are deemed engaging and satisfying. However, the PC port's optimization issues and mixed feelings about the story have tempered some of that enthusiasm. While many appreciate the visual splendor and immersive elements, frequent technical problems and debates about storyline depth are significant points of contention in the community.

Positive Points

  • The game's combat is highly praised, with specific appreciation for the symbiote suit powers and the variety of abilities available, leading to fluid and satisfying combat experiences.
  • Traversal mechanics, including web-swinging and the new addition of web wings, are frequently highlighted as exceptionally fun and immersive, making New York feel like a personal playground.
  • The story, while seen as having pacing issues, is considered engaging with strong emotional moments and character development, especially the relationship dynamics between Peter, Miles, and other central characters.
  • Graphical fidelity and immersion in the open world are lauded, with many players feeling that the game's visuals are cinematic and akin to playing through a Marvel movie.

    • Negative Points

  • The PC port of the game is criticized for poor optimization, with frequent reports of crashes, bugs, and performance issues even on high-end systems.
  • A significant portion of the gameplay is considered filler, with repetitive side missions and downtime detracting from the overall experience.
  • The story is perceived by some as rushed towards the end, with certain plotlines and character arcs feeling underdeveloped or lacking depth.
  • Some players express dissatisfaction with elements they perceive as forced inclusivity or 'wokeness,' feeling that these distract from the core superhero themes.

    • Mixed Points

  • Opinions on the game's narrative are mixed; some find the story captivating and well-executed, whereas others feel it falters compared to Spider-Man 1 with a less impactful delivery.
  • The character of MJ and her role in the story is divisive, with some enjoying her segments for adding variety, and others seeing them as tedious interruptions.

    • Common Themes

  • The game is often seen as a sequel with refined mechanics but not as groundbreaking as its predecessors in terms of gameplay innovation.
  • Performance issues on PC are a recurring theme, with many players noting frequent crashes, unresponsive frame rates, and the need for significant hardware resources.
  • Despite its perceived flaws, the experience of being Spider-Man, through traversal and combat, is universally enjoyed and often described as a highlight of the game.
