To be honest, I've not played a Spider-Man game since SM3 on PS3: it was so bad that, purely through intrigue and disbelief, I ended up playing it from start to finish just to see how deep the rabbit hole went. Sounds silly I know, but that experience put me well off the franchise as far as games were concerned. I have watched playthroughs of the games that have come since then SM3 (again, through intrigue), but nothing about them warranted purchase, which means that SM2 on PS2 was the last game I played, and enjoyed throughly at the same time.
That was 14 years ago!
But something about this game just seemed to make sense, if you will. Even though I avoided all the spoilers and all but one of the gameplay videos (the one played at E3 2017), what little info. I had absorbed gave me an inclining that maybe, just maybe, this would be the one to break the hiatus.
At nearly 30% complete, I have not been able to wipe the smile off my face.
There's already been one moment that caught me off guard, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the game plays out. Speaking of which...
