2018

We're getting closer and closer to the conclusion of this section of my journal, and I must say, I'm quite happy with the list of games I've chosen to talk about for the past few months. A lot of these games I honestly think I'll go back and play as it has been quite some time since I've played a lot of them. And as we are getting to current time, it got even harder to choose games to talk about, because there were a few years in recent memory where I played a lot of games that I really enjoyed. But, we can't possibly talk about all of them, or I guess we could. I'm choosing not to. However, today I'm talking about Marvel's Spider-Man because it's one of those games that I probably spent more time on than any other game in recent memory. It falls into that category with a few others but definitely one that I put a **** ton of time into.

Marvel's Spider-Man in my opinion is exactly what it needed to be, a much more refined and intense version of the Gamecube Spider-Man that we have all come to love throughout the years. One of the most important aspects of a game like this is the gameplay, specifically how it feels to swing around with your webs. And up until this point, I'd say the gamecube version was the superior version, however this one just completely blows that one out of the water, and in my opinion, Marvel's Spider-Man is THE version to play if you want to experience Spider-Man in its truest form. Mix that all together with a great yet familiar combat system akin to the likes of Shadow of War and Batman Arkham, and a great story to bring it all together. I played through this game seemingly flawlessly, but that's because the game allowed you to do so with its free feeling mechanics.

Along with Shadow of War and very few other games, Marvel's Spider-Man falls into the 100% completion category given that I completed everything I could when I played through it. I simply could not do anything but. The game was and is still so good that I only recommend doing everything you possible can. And yes, this is one of those kinds of games where it just throws collectibles at you left and right, but with how the game manages to allow you to freely swing and fly wherever you want, the collectathon aspect really doesn't feel stale. Especially given the fact that the game is based in a virtual version of New York City, which...even back in the gamecube days was an impressive feat.

I think it will be a while before I decide to take the plunge into this game since I have completed it fully. So there really isn't a lot of reason to go back and play other than for nostalgia sake. But it remains one of my favorite experiences in gaming.
