Although the vast majority of the reviews have been glowing, there are some interesting criticisms that a few of the reviewers bring to the conversation. It seems like Spider-Man is destined to be a hit anyway, but it doesn’t hurt to check out a few of the reviews before diving into the game next week.
Here’s a look at some excerpts from a few of the reviews that have already gone live…
Game Rant (Anthony Taormina)
Score: 5/5
Polygon (Chelsea Stark)
Score: N/A
IGN (BY Jonathon Dornbush)
Score: 8.7/10
GameSpot (Edmond Tran)
Score: 9/10
The Verge (Andrew Webster)
Score: N/A
Kotaku (Ethan Gach)
Score: N/A
One recurring theme that seemed to come up throughout the reviews was the open-world structure. The lack of innovation around this particular feature seems to be a sticking point that may hold the game back from greatness for some players.
Obviously tons of new players will go hands-on with the game next week and then players can decide for themselves. Be sure to check back in the coming days for more Spider-Man information, guides, and news.
Spider-Man releases September 7, 2018 exclusively for PS4. Game Rant was provided a code for this review.
