GamesCreed

The best-written story, characters that you will grow to care for, and side missions and pastimes that are just as much fun.
An exciting combat mechanism and improved mechanics for both tools and gadgets.
Excellent mechanisms for traversal, as well as for the web wings.
There is an incredible version of the Spider-Man outfit.

Even though it's a masterpiece, the story isn't very long.
There are some bugs that can not be overlooked under any circumstances.

GamersGlobal

A well-integrated tutorial and regular advice (easily disableable).
Five general levels of difficulty
Difficult to separately categorize in distinct categories like combat.
Additional help function that can be activated, such as "automatic healing".
Some scenes with a nice stealth option...
Extremely spectacular combat system.
Several special skills and cool gadgets.
Playing as two Spideys at the same time, plus other playable characters like MJ.
Exciting and full of twists and turns story with excellent characterization of the heroes and villains.
Movie-worthy staging, even during the "finishers" in the fight.
Offer of a rich open world significantly better than before.
Open world mainly offers and no real obligation.
Some superb side missions full of history.
Super movement system with awesome swinging and a new "winged combination".
A lot of playful variety including exploration, stealth sequences, the use of Spider-Bot, and much more.
Very detailed and smooth graphics.
Several first-class effects
Mainly excellent animations.
Two selectable graphic modes (only in "Performance" mode at 60 frames per second)
Very good English speakers, good German speakers.
Atmospheric soundtrack
Static sound effects

The fights are sometimes slightly confusing.
... apart from that, however, a very linear mission progression.
Some cinematic scenes as well as the fights are a bit too long.
Small things like small camera problems or collisions.

Epic, heartfelt story full of twists and turns
There's still no better feeling than web-swinging through NYC
Combat is fun and fluid with lots of options
Open world has some genuinely compelling side-stories
Visually stunning, with amazingly slick performance throughout

Some of the distractions are too combat-focused
Boss battles can become a little repetitive

Venom is simply MON-STRO-US! Kraven is also ultra charismatic. The pace is incredible and fast-paced, you never get bored. Spectacular staging. Visually, it kicks ass. A more elaborate combat system. The acrobatics, with the new additions, are even more exhilarating. New York is bustling with life. Tougher enemies. More interesting side quests. Instant switch between Peter and Miles. A more mature and adult tone. The French dubbing is just insane!

The phases with the Spider-Bot are honestly not great. We are still waiting for the dynamic day/night cycle.

Impressive technical achievement

Well-told story in its alternating genres, emphasizing drama convincingly.

It expands the technical and gameplay possibilities, but it does not innovate in any way. But is it really a flaw?

GameOver

Beautiful comic book story (and not "from the Marvel Cinematic Universe"), which, although it has a slight lull in the middle, takes off beautifully in its final part.
Incredible cinematic action scenes and exceptional dubbing.
Feature-rich accessibility options.
Loading times are a crucial point for open world games.
Obvious steps for initial improvement of peripheral equipment...

...but also a lot of filler and repetitive situations, with the duplication of the card not yielding anything substantial.
The battle against mobs remains somewhat rudimentary and simple, with the AI now needing to make progress.

Traversing the city is a joy, especially with the new web wings
A true comic saga story that sets up huge stakes and delivers on them
Each character feels meaningfully different to play

Lots of busywork
The story takes a long time to get going

Numerama

How beautiful is it?
Venom
The DualSense used intelligently.

First half that purrs too much
Generic open world
Too many costumes

Presse Citron

A highly detailed and bustling city.
The animations are still as crazy.
Some sequences of an INCREDIBLE intensity!
The aerobatics sessions, exhilarating like never before.
The French version, very accurate and sometimes very funny.

The formula, generous, but more than proven.
The modeling of faces and NPCs is sometimes very crude...
Loss of details in certain areas
Some secondary (and main) objectives are pointless... even painful!

Push Square

Great superhero adventure
Full of brilliant moments
Much better side content
Swinging and gliding feels amazing
Improved combat, stealth
Expanded, more varied city

Largely familiar territory
Combat gets a touch repetitive
Story pacing a little off
Very occasional bugs

LevelUp

Impressive motion system that is very smooth and provides great freedom.
Accessible and entertaining combat; it is easy to learn and offers a manageable variety of combos.
Good variety of outdoor activities.
Peter and Miles offer a strong characterization and explore their challenges and responsibilities in an identifiable and exciting way.
Remarkable presentation that uses the use of shadows.

Irregular narrative with moments of storyline that become absurd.
Forced stealth sequences: Spider-Man is not a predator.
In the long run, the fight becomes repetitive and easy.
The game often relies on Quick Time events, which limits the feeling of control.

Pokde.net

Engaging storyline with room for potential sequels

+ Improved visuals thanks to the PS5 hardware

+ DualSense technology makes game feel even more immersive

+ Transitioning between Peter and Miles works pretty well

+ Traversing through the map is even more fun now

+ Combat is as fun as ever

Side quests can feel rather repetitive or redundant
- New areas don't necessarily mean new things to do

Geeko

A lot of fan service.
A very well-crafted staging.
A top-notch soundtrack
Beautifully exploited ray-tracing
Memorable sequences

Quite a few bugs, some of which may force you to reload a checkpoint.
Not enough differences between the two Spiderman.
Uninteresting side missions
A somewhat disappointing technique.
Characters without charisma

Outerhaven Productions

Kraven is the best villain in the series at the moment
New mechanics weave really well with the established mechanics
The best opening sequence in gaming

No playable Venom beyond one mission
Insomniac lied about suit numbers
A lot of glitches compared to previous games
Too many ?normal person? missions (MJ, Peter, Hailey, etc)
Replacement by stealth of Spider-Man

... you are fascinated by grandiose graphics and buttery smooth movements.

... you expect more than 30 hours of gameplay from an open-world game.
... you can no longer see repetitive open world filler.
... you have already seen enough of Marvel.

GamingBolt

Feels like a simultaneously unique and authentic Spider-Man story, just like its predecessors
Plenty of memorable boss battles and cinematic set piece moments
A largely engaging story
Increased sense of speed and the addition of web wings make an already incredible traversal system even more of a bright highlight
Combat has seen significant improvements to become that much more engaging
Both characters' abilities are a blast to use in combat encounters
Excellent side content with an impressive amount of variety and some solid storytelling
Open world doesn't feel as padded out as the first game.

Simplistic progression mechanics quickly run out of steam
Final third of the story feels a bit rushed from time to time.

The symbiote costume is truly amazing.
The city feels round and fair in its content.
Delivery generally manages to take a step forward compared to all previous Spider-Man movies.
With 25 to 40 hours, he achieves much more than games that last over 100 hours.

Some NPCs have been left aside.
Although in my opinion the duration is perfect, there will be people who will ask for something more.

Spider-Man remains Spider-Man.
The contribution of the symbiote
A city with doubled surface area.
Always so pleasant to twirl around.
Dynamic fights
An awesome soundtrack
A gold mine for fans.

Too much continuity
Boss fights that lack impact.
The illogicality of the phases with MJ
Moments of deep boredom
Many but rather average appendices

Superbly choreographed fights.
tough boss fights
graphically stunning over long distances
creative sequences of psychology and dreams
New York is open to discovery in all weather conditions and at all times of the day.
a captivating 3D sound atmosphere (including Dolby Atmos setting)
Intermediate sequences worthy of a movie.
designing various missions
Clear talent and enhancement system
almost no loading time

The plot is very predictable.
Some plot twists in the story are useful for the game, but embarrassing in terms of content.
too many faceless enemies in certain missions
two superheroes, but no option for cooperation

The essence of the game remains the same.

A little slow to start.

Some really important secondary missions.
