Specifically the last two, are they worth it? My only super hero game experience is with Batman: Arkham City, it was ok but not great.

Spider man 1 is a fun and really good game and excels at capturing true spider man

Miles morales is fun and built off the same city and map but miles is lame

Spider man 2 is dreadful do not buy it whatever you do unless you want lectures about race and sex politics, gun control, do a mission where you control a deaf black girl putting up graffiti, and another mission where you ensure two gay high schoolers go to prom together

Yes the original Spiderman game for PS4 (I think there's also a PS5 version) is quite well regarded.

Insomniac completely lost their minds after that and pretty much went all in on making it as much about left wing social issues as they could get away with. Spiderman is basically a side character in his own series and just serves as a vehicle for the DEI clown car.

Miles Morales was solid all around

They went all in with the DEI goofiness in Spider-Man 2. . .and what they did to MJ's face is unforgivable.

But the game itself is fine. Not bad, but not as good as the 1st

Man. . .if they let that dumb clam frick that game up. . .

Walt Williams is a solid writer

Mary Kenney is horribly bad, and is director of narrative

Nick Folkman 2 big credits are horrendous

I don't think games you will like exist. On any platform.

It was so baller they couldn't even top it

So they just made Arkham Knight just "that but a car version of that"

I'd love for them to still be making Arkham Knight level games. Gotham Kniggts was awful and I didn't even bother with Suicide Squad after I saw how they handled Batman.

I can't imagine forcing myself through all those VR training things. Those were awful. Rest of the game was amazing though.

Those are forgivable when you have the best characterization of Riddler and Penquin as has ever graced any screen ever

First game was extremely solid one my favorite super hero games up there with the Arkham games

The sequel is ok, it has some solid moments specifically with Peter and Harry. Kraven is a pretty fun villain too. But overall it just does not compare to the first one.

Thanks for this. I was looking at buying the 2nd one. Now I can steer clear.
