Overview
Daniel expresses sharp disappointment with the PC release of Spider-Man Remastered, having originally confused it with the newer PlayStation 5 Miles Morales title instead of a 2018 game upgrade.
Daniel criticizes the game's visuals, motion sickness from web-swinging, unengaging open-world New York setting, repetitive combat lacking impact, and weak enemy coordination, questioning why the character avoids weapons or faster takedowns.
Daniel deems the £55 price tag excessive for a four-year-old re-release, scoring the game 4.2 out of 10 and withholding a recommendation.
