1. Amazing Spider-Man 2: Overall Thoughts

There are indeed things about this game to like.

The alternate costumes are fun, and I actually think the final boss fight with Carnage is very fun. It’s just preceded by a total s***show of a third act.

As a game I wanted to love it and took a while to realize I didn’t. and it was a total disappointment. It’s just a frustration how stripped down this is from the first. It’s one thing to not expand from the previous game but to actively go back on features the first game made special? The swinging mechanics are simplified to the point of autopilot.

And the great side missions are gone. The photo taking side mission is gone! Are you kidding me?! That was the high point of the first game!

Ah well. Next time, we bring it all home with the newest Spider-Man game which I guess I have to finish first. Better get on that.
