5 Ways Spider-Man Shows Other Superhero Games How It’s Done
The Combat is Incredibly Spidey-Like
Right after the question of Spider-Man’s swinging mechanics was the question of the game’s combat. For those that may have played previous Spidey games or have seen one of his films, it’s clear that Spider-Man has utilizes a unique style of combat centered around acrobatic stunts and flinging his web to subdue evildoers. More than any of its predecessors, Spider-Man PS4 somehow creates the most fluid combat that feels wholeheartedly like our hero.
From its fast-paced beginning sequences, the game allows players to freely twist, flip and jump off of any surface in order to gain the upper hand in combat. Combos feel incredibly satisfying to pull off and are surprisingly easy to master despite the amount of activity happening on the screen. As each action has been carefully mapped to certain sequences or simply one button on the controller, Insomniac clearly wanted this game to fully capture what it feels like to truly become Spider-Man.
