This is good so far. The city isn't particularly great but it doesn't really matter when you're swinging about. The spidey traversal is really cool.
Combat is really fun, though I hope it mixes up once you unlock abilities /meet new enemies. At the moment there's alot of breaking off combos to dodge attacks that are coming from off screen, so It feels a bit stifled. I'm guessing this is intentional and abilities will make you moar baddass.
There's nothing new here really (pipe mania style circuit board mini game anyone?) , but it's all very slick and most importantly loads of fun. Can only imagine it'll get better and better. Found it hard to stop playing.
Yeah I'm only get early on but was already getting the itch of "oh I'll just quickly go over there before I turn it off" before I actually had to turn it off and go to work.
Helps that is super fun to swing about
Excellent, that's my sole requirement for the game. Amazing Spidey 2 wasn't too bad, once you got how the devs expected it to be played, but didn't quite hit the levels of enjoyment from 2.
Just got an email saying my copy should be delivered today, which is nice.
The swinging is a bit more involved than I was expecting, which is cool. Hold R2 gets you swinging, then let go and then hold R2 again etc. What you need to nail to keep going is the roof grapple into jump. Little grapple circles appear and you tap R2+L2 to grapple, then tap X before you hit the point to leap as soon as you land, then either swing again or go for another grapple point. Once you nail it you're flying through the city and it feels really satisfying.
My favourite combat move so far is dodging into walls and hitting attack to pounce off at enemies. Cool as.
My amazon delivery came through, was expecting to come in Monday so that’s a nice surprise.
SPIDER-PUNK!!
Edit: also I used to start at 10 for the last 6 years in previous job, but am now 8:30-9:00. I thought I would hate it but leaving at 5 is very nice, feels like I get more of an evening plus I get to do the kids bedtime at a reasonable hour.
