DO NOT BUY Spider-Man Remastered - TERRIBLE PC Port

Hello and welcome back to a new video game

review. So recently I've been playing the

brand new Spider-Man Remastered on PC,

which has just released on Steam recently.

And as an avid fan of Spider-Man and

superhero action games in general, I just

knew I had to play this game.

Unfortunately, so far it's been extremely

disappointing and rather lacking in

lustre. So my first major disappointment

in this remastered Spider-Man was, well,

first of all, I thought this was going to

be the brand new Spider-Man that was on

the PlayStation 5, with the black

Spider-Man, the black guy. But then during

the first cutscene, it's the white

Spider-Man, and then I realized, wait,

this isn't the new Spider-Man that's on

PS5. This is just the old Spider-Man that

came out ages ago, and they've just given

it a remastered upgrade with graphics.

Oh, this is so disappointing and lame. I

really wanted to play the brand new

Spider-Man, the latest one, but I haven't

been able to get a PlayStation 5 because

Sony still can't get their act together

and sort out their manufacturing problems.

For once, I thought Sony was being really

nice and releasing the brand new

Spider-Man to the PC since a lot of people

can't get their hands on a PS5. But no,

they just re-released one of the older

Spider-Man games, which is probably one of

the worst Spider-Man games out of all of

them. It's the most bland, it's the most

bog-standard, lacking in luster Spider-Man

games out of all the Spider-Man games in

existence. And even though the graphics

look okay, obviously it's a major update

from the 2018 version of the game, but the

graphical fidelity of the game is just not

quite up to my standards for a 2020 2022

remastered game. It just doesn't really

look very good, even with ray tracing and

the graphics on very high. It doesn't look

great. It looks very flat and bland and

plain and uninspired. So the visual

appearance and the visual upgrades are not

really that spectacular. What about the

gameplay? Well, the gameplay is not very

great either. You'll be doing 2 things

mainly in the gameplay. Either you're

gonna be swinging around the city, or

you're gonna be fighting these really

brain-dead moronic Thugs. And I

find the web swinging in this Spider-Man

game not to be the most enjoyable web

swinging experience out of all of these

Spider-Man games. It's okay, it's not bad,

it's not as bad as the original Spider-Man

games where the web just magically

attaches to the sky. The webs do actually

attach to buildings in a convincing way.

Unfortunately, the feeling of swinging

through the city, number one, that doesn't

really feel that exhilarating, it doesn't

really feel that fast or exciting.

Instead, it just gave me a headache and

made me feel kind of sick. As for the city

of Manhattan in Spider-Man, it's just

another really bland-looking New York City

that you can find in every single

Spider-Man game. You've gotten used to it

by now if you've played any kind of

Spider-Man games. It's just bland,

boring, and ugly New York. And you can

walk down onto the street level and then

people just walking around and they'll

make silly comments at you like, take off

your mask, or I love you, Spider-Man.

It's just kind of silly and there's not

really much interaction that you can have

with the people on the street compared to

other open-world games. Games such as GTA

5. The open-world city in Spider-Man just

feels very boring, plain, and lifeless,

and it would have been nice if you could

do more things like messing with the

people on the streets. Maybe you could tie

them up and drag them off somewhere or

beat them up or something, but you can

barely do anything with them. You can just

stand in front of them and wave at them,

and then they say some stuff. As for the

combat in the game, it's very boring, as

are most Spider-Man games. They just have

really boring combat. It doesn't really

feel very brutal or violent. When

Spider-Man punches an enemy, it doesn't

really feel like he's doing much damage.

He's supposed to be this superhero who's

really strong, way more stronger than any

kind of typical criminal guy off the

streets. But when you punch them, it

doesn't really feel like you're making

much of an impact. So the combat just

basically revolves around spamming the X

button to do an attack, and then

occasionally you might do some dodging to

dodge bullets or to dodge their punches,

and you can do some web-slinging to them

up, or you can also do these aerial

attacks where you punch them up into the

air and you kind of do like a load of

juggling punches and slam them back down

to the floor. But none of this really

feels fun or satisfying. It just feels way

too easy. The enemies just kind of crowd

around you and wait for their turn to get

beaten up. They don't really do anything

that would require any kind of teamwork,

like they don't gang up on you and try to

take you down altogether. They just stand

around like a bunch of lemmings as you

punch them in the face. And you can't

really pick up objects and use them as

weapons apart from being able to use your

webs to swing around manhole covers or

maybe like a mailbox. That's all you can

do when it comes to interacting with the

environment. It would have been nice if

you could pick up metal pipes or bricks to

use as weapons. It would have been cool if

you could use the environment more as a

weapon. For example, you could have been

able to use your web to swing cars around

and make them explode on the enemies.

That would have been funny. Also, the

combat system feels extremely shallow.

There's not much complexity to it and

you'll just be spamming the X button to do

punches most of the time. There's no light

attack or heavy attack or charged-up

attacks. There's not really any proper

combos apart from X, X, X and then a Y,

or maybe an X, Y, then X, X, X to juggle

them in the air. There's no block or

counterattack or parry. You can do a dodge

to slip around behind them to attack them

again, but that's it really. You can do a

finishing combo move by holding B and Y

together, and it just does this animation

of him doing a pretty cool-looking

takedown. But after you've done it

hundreds of times, it gets a bit boring to

watch. But the main problem with the

combat system I have is it just doesn't

really feel fun or satisfying at all. I

don't really feel like I'm skillful at the

game after I've done a bunch of spamming

combos and done a BY takedown. Doesn't

feel like there was any skill involved on

my behalf. I just feel like the game's way

too easy. Yeah, you could up the

difficulty level, but then it's still the

same combat system. It's just you have to

be more careful because you'll, you'll

take more damage. So really, the combat

system just feels like a massive spam

fest, a massive snooze fest. Doesn't

really feel fun, and the web swinging

around the city is not really fun either.

So I can't really say many good things

about the game. I guess it looks nice,

and if you really are a mega fan of

Spider-Man, you love pretending to be

Spider-Man, then this is the closest

experience you're going to get. But if

you're looking for a compelling and

complex video game with a really cool

combat system which is really in-depth,

then you're going to be sorely

disappointed with this. Iteration of

Spider-Man. And it's such a shame because

I feel like there's so many things they

could have done easily to make the game

more interesting when it comes to the

combat. They could have different specs

like talent trees, and you could have

experience points where when you take down

enemies you start collecting experience

points and then you can use them to unlock

new abilities. Or you can maybe specialize

down different combat styles. Maybe you

could focus on punching, or maybe you

could focus on kicking, or maybe you could

focus, focus on web-based attacks. I don't

understand why Spider-Man Superman doesn't

just pick up the enemy's guns. I feel like

it would be much more efficient if he just

picked up one of their machine guns and

used that instead of having to punch them

in the face 100 times before they finally

get knocked out. Why wouldn't you just

pick up the gun when it's lying right

there instead of using his fists? It would

have made sense in like a logical way if

his fists were actually really powerful

and he could like knock someone out in one

punch, which really he should be able to

because he's a superhero. He's supposed to

have superpowers and he's supposed to be

super strong, but for some reason it takes

like 20 punches for him to take down just

a normal guy. If he really wants to do

martial arts, then why doesn't he carry a

weapon like a sword or maybe a bat or

something that's more efficient than his

stupid fists that seem to be made out of

cotton candy? So in conclusion, I don't

really have many positive things to say

for this game. It's an old game, it's 4

years old. I don't know why anyone would

want to play this in 2022 just for the

graphical update. And the worst thing

about it is it costs £55. That is so

expensive. That's the price of a brand new

AAA game, which I wouldn't mind paying if

it was actually a brand new game, but this

is just a remastered, rehashed version of

an old game. I don't want to pay £55 for

an old game, even if it does look a bit

better than it used to. So unfortunately,

I won't be able to recommend this game,

and I'll have to give it a score of 4.2

out of 10.
