with its appearance on psnow, decided to give it a whirl, since people said it’s inspired by the arkham series. Sorry, but, nah. In the arkham series, rocksteady turned batman’s encounters into a ballet of beatdowns, while spiderman seems to have only adopted the sensing mechanic, ignoring the rhythmic component that made rocksteady’s franchise so addictive. The combat isn’t even hard, as I’ve adjusted to it enough, accepting that there is nothing graceful to its execution. It’s just not fun or intuitive. Also, the city isn’t nearly as fun to traverse as it looks in videos.
I’m usually a fan of Sony’s offerings, but this is not it, dog. It’s a poor man’s arkham clone.
