    An odd question if anyone can advise. I got and played this for ages at release. I can't recall how far into the game I was but I had put a fair few hours in but then got a bit busy and eventually fell off completely.

    Is there a tutorial mode or even mission type that would allow me to jump back in and relearn the controls rather than starting from the beginning again? I think if I jumped back in and did a mission in my current state I would be gone straight away.

    Was in the same situation, just run side missions and refer to the moves list and abilities. You'll be back in business in no time.

    Picked up the season pass for €10, all I have to say is **** the screwball challenges.

    I'd say the game knows you have the season pass so it's showing each dlc as free.

    Started this last night.
    Is there fast travel later on? I know people like swinging across the city, but I would prefer that to be an option rather than compulsory.
    It's something I dislike about open world games that missions are always far away from where you are.

    Crashed on me early on when doing the second circuits or gene matching thing near the beginning.

    Fast travel I thought opened up early enough but it's fast travel to a point.

    Wow didn't get a single crash in this at all.
    Experienced very few bugs actually.
    Have seen some online alright.

    Playing on standard PS4.
    When I got it started again I went and did that second puzzle with no issues and have done a few more since

    Anyone beat the game on Ultimate difficulty yet and/or done New Games plus?

    Yep pretty easy beat it when you have all your upgrades from the start. Blasted through the whole thing really quickly as knew where I was going, how to beat enemies etc

    And done. Great game overall.
    Will start the DLC tomorrow maybe.

    Reminded me of a cross between Infamous and the Arkham games.

    Is there any game like this that doesn't have at least 1 trippy bit in it taking place on the mind?

    And that's the DLC finished.
    Apart from the main stories, I just did the
    art and crime scene side missions
    . Don't think there were equivalents in Turf Wars?

    Think my main complaint would be the number of whatever a beat em up equivalent of a shooting gallery is. Would just get monotonous after about the first 20 bad guys in one area.

    Very late to the party here...

    Started this yesterday for the first time. I’m a few hours in.

    First impressions are:

    Its incredibly pretty to look at.

    The swinging around by web is a lot of fun. 10 year old me would have done it for hours without doing any missions.

    But that’s where the good points end for me unfortunately.

    After flying round the place for a while and doing a few missions I just found it boring.

    Maybe I’ve no soul or something because everyone else loves this game.

    Is it worth continuing? Is there any game variety or is it just more of the same?

    It's a great game. Lots of fun. Can get repetitive and isn't the be-all-end-all, but it's a solid play if you're into Spider-Man and these types of games.

    There are better exclusives on PS4 though, particularly God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn that are also worth a look.

    I was fairly lukewarm towards the game for the first third, but once the story gets going, there is some great set pieces and a few neat boss battles. But the core gameplay loop remains the same; traversal and combat are the key pillars with little deviation from that formula. Somewhat similar to the Arkham games in that respect, though I found the Arkham games captivated my attention a lot better, perhaps due to me being a big DC fan, whereas I am lukewarm on most things Marvel.

    I would definitely stick with it though, as you get more gadgets and abilities the experience definitely improves as more options become available in combat. Plenty of fan service worth sticking around for as well if you are a fan of the Marvel and Spider-man universes

    Generally, the game is adored, and at the price you can pick it up for these days it is at least worth trying out.

    Fixed that for you there ;)

    You are getting going to get a majority of a yes worth it here.
    It was an anticipated game that was a while in the waiting, and was not a disappointment.
    It gets better as the game goes on, voice acting and story kept me engaged, difficulty slowly ramps up and you need to start managing your upgrades and learn how to use them.

    Is it perfect no, but I loved it, enjoyed it and have replayed it. I can see how you can get bored, but the swinging around NY city never grew old on me.

    +1 to this.

    I 100% it lately which is not that hard to do. I ended up getting the dlc in the last sale so I will take a break from it for a few weeks and jump back into it. Parts of it can be repetitive but overall I really enjoyed it.

    Just to give another view on it, I enjoyed it overall, but it did get repetitive and I can appreciate where the boredom is coming from. I'd give it a another few hours, and if you still don't feel it, get rid or try again in a few months. I don't hold it in this glowing light like others, it was good at best.

    I can see where people are coming from on this.
    As a video game it's good but only good. As a piece of Marvel lore it's fantastic.
    So if you are coming into this as strictly a gamer then you might get bored. But if you are a Marvel fan you'll want to keep going to see what happens next. (and possibly look up youtube reactions to the story or that might just be me)

    Finished this last night and loved it, really enjoyed the main story.

    Started the DLC and for some reason I'm stuck on the bit where you have to stop the guys escaping with the art while fighting never ending minions. Maybe I've just had enough, but I just found it very irritating and annoying instead of fun. Is the rest of the DLC worth pushing through this for?

    There's a ramp up in difficulty later, big thugs with big guns.
    The DLCs give us a good, not great, story with Black Cat and Watenabe, bit better with Sable and excellent with Hammerhead.
    Taskmaster is replaced by Screwball, I swear I just wanted to throw her in the river by the end.
