Spider-Man has been one of the most beloved comic book superheroes for decades, and his popularity has only grown in recent years thanks to the incredible success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So when Insomniac Games announced that they were working on a new Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 4, fans were understandably excited. The game was a massive success, and now, Insomniac has released a remastered version for the PlayStation 5. In this review, we’ll take a look at Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and see how it stacks up against the original.
Graphics and Performance
One of the main selling points of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is the upgraded graphics. The game looks stunning on the PlayStation 5, with improved textures, lighting, and character models. The city of New York is more detailed than ever before, and the character animations are smoother and more realistic. Even the weather effects, like rain and snow, look amazing.
In terms of performance, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered runs at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second. This makes swinging through the city and engaging in combat feel incredibly smooth and responsive. Load times are also greatly reduced, thanks to the PlayStation 5’s solid-state drive.
Story and Gameplay
The story of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is the same as the original game. You play as Peter Parker, who is struggling to balance his personal life with his superhero duties as Spider-Man. The story is well-written and engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you invested. The voice acting is also top-notch, with Yuri Lowenthal delivering a fantastic performance as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Gameplay-wise, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is incredibly fun. The game’s signature mechanic is, of course, swinging through the city, and it feels better than ever on the PlayStation 5. The web-slinging is smooth and intuitive, and you can even feel the tension in the controller as you swing from building to building.
Combat is also greatly improved in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. The game introduces a new feature called “haptic feedback,” which allows you to feel the impact of your attacks through the controller. The combat itself is fast-paced and satisfying, with plenty of gadgets and abilities to keep things fresh.
