This game is great and definitely one of the best of the year, but those of you that say the combat is better than Arkham are bugging.
In Arkham, you can use all your gadgets in combat without bringing up the weapon wheel, that alone gives it the edge over Spider-Man imo. My combat rhythm in this always gets broken any time I want to change my gadgets. Every gadget should have a dedicated button or button combination, and it’s kinda crazy to me that the basic web shooter doesn’t have its own dedicated button like the batarang does in Arkham. Additionally, I think the predator gameplay in Arkham is more polished than Spider-Man’s stealth.
That being said, none of this takes away from how great the combat is in this game.
