And... that's it done.

Absolutely loved it from the start to finish.

Two flaws: I thought that the Sinister Six boss battles are a bit too easy. Taskmaster bombs/drones challenges is terrible.

And I can't wait for the sequel.

Started this yesterday, looks great and the swinging about is good fun. Put it on the hardest difficulty which may be a mistake as while I like a challenge, it's really tough. Have to see what early combat upgrades I can get to see if it makes it sensible to carry on at that level.

Once you get the hang (...) of countering it will become a piece of piss defeating bad guys.

Web blossom is good (it's on the classic suit so available early on).

I did a massive load of web swinging directly into the sun, sweeping right down to the car roof tops just like in the films, except this looks better, and at the apex of every jump Spiderman did cool flips. Was grinning like an idiot

Getting the hang of the combat now, upgraded to the web bloom thing and put it on a different suit.

Having to get gold on virtually all of the challenges to unlock all suits and gadget upgrades is nowhere near worth it with the gold requirements on some of them. I can live without.

Focus on the suits and the gadgets you used a lot.

I managed to gold all the bomb challenges. You can hit L2-R2 while you are near the bomb and you'll land next to it perfectly.

And done enough to get all the suits. So that's the platinum done.

I'm only missing a few suits and they aren't ones I'm too bothered with anyway.
I might do the secret photo ops for the hidden suit when the DLC comes out.

Finished the campaign yesterday and I think the game has overall been one of my favourites of the entire generation. The plot is superb, Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting is utterly spot on, the gameplay is fantastic (though it was too easy to get caught on the corner of buildings while web slinging) and it was so refreshing to not have any Microtransaction bullshit being pushed in my face.

The Halloween party

fffffffffffffffffuck the drone challenges.

65% complete and absolutely loving this

Especially when you get the "slow down time after every perfect dodge" thing! The combat is immensely fun but I can't imagine playing on anything other than the hardest setting or there'd just be no challenge!

Very true. I'm finding it a bit easy even on the hardest difficulty now tbh and I've hardly upgraded anything. The only thing that gives me real trouble are the big fat guys when they're in a group.

All construction sites, backpacks and landmarks done now, time for a bit of the story.

Good medalling the bomb challenges and stealth challenges is pretty simple, the fighting ones is so-able and the drone ones are tough but if you get all golds in the others you only need to do one or two of them.

I find the bomb challenges frustrating because I always do the L2+R2 thing to land near the bomb, but it occasionally zips me too far away for some reason and I need to do the whole thing again

The reticle has a tendency to jump around if there are lots of possible zip-points on the screen. You just have to try your best to get the bomb in the dead centre of the screen before you press the zip buttons.

I definitely had my fair share of that, though.

Double post edit ahoy:
I've just finished the subway fight with Mister Negative.

"That totally worked last time!"

Loving this. Some of my photo mode shots (no spoilers and early game).

That Scorpion boss fight is one of the worst things I've encountered in gaming, absolutely awful.

I'm doing the challenges now, tough but fair. The stealth ones are laughably easy, the drone ones frustrating when the web locks on to somewhere stupid and the fights are about right.

Keep the challenge tokens for the suits if you're going for all the trophies.

As for the gadgets, I find that I don't really use the majority of them. I just use the Heavy Web and Web Bomb and with electric webs . The rest? Not so much.

Also I just brought the season pass. Can't wait for next Tuesday.

I will thanks. I've not bought any suits yet, about 2 3rds are avaible now. I spent some challenge tokens fully upgrading the heavy web to cascade for some nice crowd control, but the rest are just as the story gave them to me.
