Spider-Man PS4 Review -- CLS Side Quest

Open world video games are a dime a dozen. Superhero games -- especially quality ones -- are far less common. Combine both, and you've got Insomniac Games' PS4 exclusive Spider-Man, a fun and fluid Spidey game with its fair share of flaws. While it's the weakest of the three big PS4 exclusives released this year, it's still worthy of your time and attention. All footage in this video review was captured by CLS off of a PS4 Pro (provided before launch and free of charge by Sony) at 1080p30. (The Spider-Man box art shown was acquired from Fandom.)

Thanks Colin, I was optimistic but skeptical about this, good to know it’s got your seal of quality!

Just listened to it without looking at the video since I'm on blackout but couldn't skip your review. Sounds like a blast. Can't wait for Friday. 👍👍👍

Is it September 7th yet ?

Thanks for doing this Colin. Nothing too surprising and I’m glad it’s a solid addition. I must confess that watching the video reminded me of just how much super hero fatigue I’m feeling these days. Coupled with sandboxes ad nauseum and it’s really hard to get excited.

do we have first impressions then spoilers? Never mind just listened to it, no spoilers in my opinion but i just listened to it did not watch the video. Good review can't wait for it.

Excellent review, watched it twice back to back 😂😂

Will Hahn

Fantastic review, Colin! Very well said. I can’t wait to play this. I have a $45 Amazon gift card, so I’ll be buying this game for $15. LOL.

Brock Thomas Walsh

So excited to hear you enjoyed this! After being head down in the Mega Man X legacy collections, I am looking forward to something chill to play

Tyson Williams

I’m a huge Spider-Man and comic book fan in general but I like seeing the perspective of the game without the comic fan aspect and just on its own merits as a game

MeatSpin11

As a Web Head,I’m looking forward to this. Really hoping this game has a lot of collectibles in the city. Would love to throw a podcast on, zen out, and swing around finding them.

You're not the only Spiderman review to run into these sorts of problems. I was lucky enough to watch it before this happened. Very good review Colin, I can't wait to get my hands on this in a few days!

Michael Candelaria

Your review has me super hyped to eventually play this game, I have so much stuff I bee do get through. I thought last year was a fantastic year for games and this one is shaping up to be just as good, if not better.

Jeff Pollard

Glad to see the video is back up! Great review! I really want to play this now, but I have way too much on my plate (game-wise). Pretty much finished with God of War and I've barely touched Horizon Zero Dawn. And RDR2 is next month! Ugh. Must...resist...temptation.

Great review Colin

Tyler

Is the platinum pretty easy?

LastStandMedia

I have to be honest: Maybe it's because I don't expose myself whatsoever to any superhero movies or comic books, but the game kinda piqued my interest in the Spider-Man universe. I liked the villains.

LastStandMedia

It was an incredibly frustrating day for me, but I'm glad the review is back up for everyone to enjoy.

Jeff Pollard

Well, apparently my willpower is nonexistent. I'm playing Spider-Man now.

John Lynch

Loved the review Colin. I’m not so sure if the sonic syndrome you spoke can be fixed using the engine they have. If I’m not mistaken it uses the sunset overdrive engine, and that game had the same issue, it was all about speed and traversal and difficult to do anything slow and precise

Mike Tse

I want to play this game and I’m glad you were critical. Still sounds like fun, but now I know what to expect. It does look fun to swing around the city.

LastStandMedia

Swinging around is a blast, man. It's totally worth playing, but it's also not the Ultimate Open World Game or anything like that.
