Eight years into the job, Peter is good at being Spider-Man and terrible at being Peter. This is not an origin story, and it is better for it.

The swinging

Webs attach to real buildings. Momentum carries. You can run a whole mission without touching the ground, and after twenty hours you still take the long way round for the fun of it.

A villain with a point

Mister Negative, Doctor Octopus and the rest all come out of one thread rather than a queue of boss fights. Otto's arc in particular is the reason people talk about this story.

Three characters, not one

Mary Jane and Miles get playable stretches of their own, quieter and slower, which gives the fights room to land when they come back.

Everything included

The remaster carries the full City That Never Sleeps story in three chapters, all the suits, and PC extras: ray tracing, uncapped frame rate, ultrawide and DLSS.
