Side Quest, Episode 42: Spider-Man PS4 Review

Swinging around is a blast, man. It's totally worth playing, but it's also not the Ultimate Open World Game or anything like that.

Colin Moriarty

I want to play this game and I’m glad you were critical. Still sounds like fun, but now I know what to expect. It does look fun to swing around the city.

Mike Tse

Yeah, they gotta tweak shit. There is a lot of control frustration in the game.

Colin Moriarty

Loved the review Colin. I’m not so sure if the sonic syndrome you spoke can be fixed using the engine they have. If I’m not mistaken it uses the sunset overdrive engine, and that game had the same issue, it was all about speed and traversal and difficult to do anything slow and precise

John Lynch

Well, apparently my willpower is nonexistent. I'm playing Spider-Man now.

Jeff Pollard

Thank you! It's about to be a busy six months.

Colin Moriarty

I'm glad it got you hyped. It's definitely a game worth playing.

Colin Moriarty

It was an incredibly frustrating day for me, but I'm glad the review is back up for everyone to enjoy.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

I'm about to wrap it up. It's impossible to miss; you just have to do everything.

Colin Moriarty

No problem. Should be all better now.

Colin Moriarty

Tons of collectibles. You'll be very busy.

Colin Moriarty

I felt like my perspective would be a useful one, and I'm glad that's playing out.

Colin Moriarty

That reminds me, I gotta get back to Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2. Barely touched it.

Colin Moriarty

Sounds like a great deal to me.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you so much!

Colin Moriarty

You're very welcome.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

I have to be honest: Maybe it's because I don't expose myself whatsoever to any superhero movies or comic books, but the game kinda piqued my interest in the Spider-Man universe. I liked the villains.

Colin Moriarty

It depends on where you are...

Colin Moriarty

Have fun!

Colin Moriarty

Enjoy!

Colin Moriarty

You're very welcome. I think you're gonna like it.

Colin Moriarty

I hope you enjoy the game!

Colin Moriarty

Is the platinum pretty easy?

Tyler

Great review Colin

Glad to see the video is back up! Great review! I really want to play this now, but I have way too much on my plate (game-wise). Pretty much finished with God of War and I've barely touched Horizon Zero Dawn. And RDR2 is next month! Ugh. Must...resist...temptation.

Jeff Pollard

Your review has me super hyped to eventually play this game, I have so much stuff I bee do get through. I thought last year was a fantastic year for games and this one is shaping up to be just as good, if not better.

Michael Candelaria

You're not the only Spiderman review to run into these sorts of problems. I was lucky enough to watch it before this happened. Very good review Colin, I can't wait to get my hands on this in a few days!

Thanks Colin

jalen kelly

Insomniac and Sony are aware, and are working to lift it. Sorry!

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

Jeff Pollard

wish I could watch but can't due to copyright ??

jalen kelly

I watched the video I do not see any of it as a spoiler.

James Galos

As a Web Head,I’m looking forward to this. Really hoping this game has a lot of collectibles in the city. Would love to throw a podcast on, zen out, and swing around finding them.

MeatSpin11

I’m a huge Spider-Man and comic book fan in general but I like seeing the perspective of the game without the comic fan aspect and just on its own merits as a game

Tyson Williams

So excited to hear you enjoyed this! After being head down in the Mega Man X legacy collections, I am looking forward to something chill to play

Brock Thomas Walsh

Fantastic review, Colin! Very well said. I can’t wait to play this. I have a $45 Amazon gift card, so I’ll be buying this game for $15. LOL.

Will Hahn

Excellent review, watched it twice back to back 😂😂

Awesome, thanks Colin.

A.G.Rowe

do we have first impressions then spoilers? Never mind just listened to it, no spoilers in my opinion but i just listened to it did not watch the video. Good review can't wait for it.

Hose A Contra Razz

Great review

Tanner Brant

Thanks for doing this Colin. Nothing too surprising and I’m glad it’s a solid addition. I must confess that watching the video reminded me of just how much super hero fatigue I’m feeling these days. Coupled with sandboxes ad nauseum and it’s really hard to get excited.

Ryan B.

Is it September 7th yet ?

Owen

Just listened to it without looking at the video since I'm on blackout but couldn't skip your review. Sounds like a blast. Can't wait for Friday. 👍👍👍

Moiz Khan

Looking forward to listening!!!

Daniel Stark

Thanks Colin, I was optimistic but skeptical about this, good to know it’s got your seal of quality!

Kyle Barnes

Gonna wait til after I beat it before watching but excited to hear what you think!
