Just platinumed this game. First platinum ever and I it’s a pretty easy platinum. I can’t wait for the DLC now.
It’s true this game has some generic side quests but the core traversal and combat mechanics are so good none of that matters. Combat imo is better than Arkham games which ironically felt too ping pong/spider-man like. Here you can’t spam the dodge. Took me a while to get used to the combat because I kept hitting triangle to doge instead of circle... muscle memory lol. But once it clicked, I was clearing groups with style.
Webswinging is a real blast. It’s a game that really stands out.
If Insomniac had paid more attention to the side missions and focused a bit more on environmental storytelling and also found a more sophisticated way to transition from external map to indoor areas, this would have been game of the year without a doubt regardless of what Rockstar does with RDR2.
9.5/10 forbme.
