This game was a major let down. Short campaign, bad free running, repetitive side missions, nowhere near what Arkham accomplished.
Probably an unpopular opinion.

yep, and also just wrong. The main story of the longest Arkham game (Knight) had a length of 16 hours, just like Spider-Man, which is 16 hours long as well. The side missions are very similar, too. I would even say Arkham had the more repetitive missions (like the Riddler-Trophies, which weren’t even ‚missions’… but that‘s just a personal opinion. The first argument is just wrong.

You are operating under the premise that I am attempting to argue. It is my opinion. I was expecting more and got less. Additionally I disliked the Morales, and Mary Jane missions. I never was able to build an emotional connection with the characters which is why the story fell flat for me.

also the Arkham Series is widely considered the industry leader for superhero games. So what did Spiderman for ps4 accomplish that the Arkham games had not?
