3. Spider-Man Web of Shadows: The Characters

Well, there's a good blend of Marvel Universe characters in this one, some new and some old.

It's always a nice surprise to get some Moon Knight, and he, Luke Cage, and Wolverine are all on point. Wolverine is especially well written and it's nice to see his and Spider-Man's relationship play out. Venom is a spooky monster again without too much characterization to speak of.

Spider-Man is pretty solidly out of character to justify the moral choices the game necessitates. He's not terrible, but he's written pretty badly in the Black Path and only mediocre in the Red Path. It's a boring character arc. With Venom as the villain being pretty one note, everybody else is about the same. They're all pretty "argh! Spider-Man! I will defeat you!" in terms of dialogue.

And not a great selection of them either, pretty much just the ones you'd expect.
