    Man I love this game but I can feel the story wrapping up and I’m already dreading ending it. Gina probably put it down at the end and wait for a Ng+ update. This game has been bananas fun

      The story goes on a bit longer than I was expecting as I was playing through it, and it definitely gets more and more epic as you ramp towards its conclusion. It will let you know when you are starting the final mission too, to give you time to do other stuff if you want before wrapping it all up.

      Also, if you are a fan of the comics I highly recommend playing through the flame side quests. Probably the thing that has me most excited for DLC or the next game.

        Just finished that! Big fan of the comics (maybe too much) so I thought the twist was predictable - but the characterization was perfect. Reminded me of Alan Tudyk. Even the character model. I have high hopes.

        Spoilers

        Story wise - MJ just… Screamed. So I feel pretty close to the end. Thinking I’ll wrap up the sandman and last faction stuff. Then swing into the sunset/last missions

          You still have a fair bit of stuff ahead, though yes you are getting close to the end.

          And yeah, given the flame arc foreshadowed character is my favorite from the Spider-Man lineup, I was grinning ear to ear as it became clear where it was definitely going.

          The upside is that from your last boss battle to the end of the game was my favorite part of the main questline.

      How does it differ from the first and MM?

      Ive been avoiding the marketing (I’m on PC so it will be a while before I get to play it) but I’m really curious on the improvements they’ve made, aside from having both Pete and Miles playable.

        It looks amazing. Especially the later half of the game. There were a few fights in particular where it felt like playing a stop motion animated film with the way the enemy model moved and blended with the environment. Very cool.

        The story is MUCH more interesting and engaging than the previous games. It helps that they are arguably using some of the most interesting story beats from the comics, but the main questline is excellent.

        Because of the next gen tech, the epic moments in the game are able to be much bigger and epic in scale and some of the little cinematic touches.

        So the open world gameplay hasn’t evolved much outside of better scene density and a bit more refined a combat system with core powers/gadgets rather than switching around a lot.

        But the main questline experience is a huge, huge step up from previous games, and well worth the price of admission alone.
