It's self-contained and plays out more like a 'best of' collection than something that carries on the continuity of the comics. While the story draws its influences from the comic, it's basically just an excuse to shove in a handful of differently themed levels leading to a fair few rapidly-skewed plot U-turns along the way. In a genre that doesn't rely heavily on plot, don't expect anything too substantial. Still, that's something we're going to have to live with, so we might as well look at the game itself. Because of the game's console origins, of course, and we knew from the start that they weren't going to make major improvements, but it seems' a shame when the PC is capable of a lot more detail. While projecting an adequate comic-book feel, they are still a little bland sometimes. The levels themselves don't hold up quite so well, though. The supporting cast and characters carry off their own distinctive stylings quite well, bringing more to mind the recent Saturday morning cartoon than anything else. Spider-Man, in particular, looks fantastic in his transition into 3D and executes his plethora of moves just as would be expected of him. All the elements are there: the corny wise-cracks, the larger than life superheroes, the ruthlessly inefficient villains. Plunging straight into questions of authenticity, this is a game that truly answers the calling for genuine comic book thrills.

This will be a new method of delivering cosmetic items, with each shipment containing a randomised, rotating assortment of cosmetics and resources.
Patch 22 is also bringing a Shipments system to the game. It is clear that this is very much end-game content, jammed up with elite enemies and puzzles that will probably have you reaching for a mic. She tells Black Panther and the Avengers about an all-new threat. Is that a robot spider? Forget what we just said.ĭiscordant Sounds starts where War for Wakanda left us, with the newly appointed Queen Regent, Shuri. Klaw is out-and-about in a new ‘Discordant Sound’ Klaw Raid that is being added with Patch 22, the dev team writing that it is “unlike anything you’ve encountered before in the game.” I swear, if we see one more robot. PlayStation players can grab a hold of the web-slinging Spider Man character today, but a whole load of other cool updates.
