4. Spider-Man Web of Shadows: The Gameplay
Okay so the swing mechanics are still good and the combat is fun.
The idea of switching costumes to switch up your move set doesn't really work, though. They game doesn't really take advantage of it, meaning you could pretty much play the entire game beginning to end in one of the suits without changing. It also makes the upgrade paths annoyingly complicated and easy to ignore. The boss fights are fun and there are some inventive level designs but it's not reinventing the wheel. The moral choice system is stupid to a magnificent degree.
Despite saying that the game is "built around it" in marketing, you can break down the choices to a handful of specific moments throughout. As well, it isn't always clear what you're choosing. Something will happen, and the game will ask you to pick between Red and Black but it doesn't tell you what that choice actually means. Which is frustrating. And as mentioned, the Black Path choices all feel silly and dumb.
Building a moral choice game around a character who's catchphrase is "with great power comes great responsibility" was just an automatically bad idea.
