    I've been playing this. Traversal is fun, but the missions, side activities, combat, and dialogue are all pretty weak. It's just another generic open world, but this time made for the Spider-Man IP.

      Editing … I personally liked the combat a lot, one of my favorite open-world punchy times.

      Editing … I would have liked a Spider-Man experience that featured systems involving juggling Peter's time, having to take pictures for the Bugle, fight crime, make rent, race to commitments. It's just the sad reality that we're never going to get that style of game design for a triple A title, particularly one designed to have a broad an appeal as Spider-Man. I was excited for that Blood of Dawnwalker game since there were early suggestions it would have a 30 day time limit, but it now seems like that is limited to story implications and not gameplay ones.

      Editing … I haven't heard of this Blood of Dawnwalker game, or at least I don't remember it (I don't keep up with games :( ). Wassat? And I'm glad you liked the Spidey combat. I don't hate it, but I'm not very impressed by it. It is satisfying to clear a large skirmish without taking any hits though. After this is done, I was gonna play Final Fantasy V, but I think I need to play something with exceptional and distinct gameplay. Any recommendations?

      Editing … I'm thinking I should finally play Dark Souls.

      Editing … It certainly sounds like you don't keep up with games if you still haven't played Dark Souls. DS1 still has some of the best level design in the series but in other ways is a bit dated. Bloodborne is a better place to start if you can handle the difficulty and don't mind playing at 30 fps with bad frame pacing. Personally the most fun thing I've played recently is Anger Foot, a pretty stripped down shooter with some novel twists. There's a demo on Steam that took me close to an hour to complete, so there's nothing to lose there.

      Editing … Blood of Dawnwalker is a vampire themed RPG from some former CD Projekt Red devs that formed a new studio after Cyberpunk shipped. It looks interesting to me because it imposes a 30 day time limit to complete the main quest, but they've clarified time won't pass in real-time. You'll be notified that certain actions will advance time to the next day, sort of like Deathloop. This might still be interesting, but I'm just tired of the fact that the enormous scale of games these days means their design can't be more interesting than Majora's Mask from 25 years ago.

      Editing … I don't have a PlayStation, so Bloodborne's not an option. I'd like to finally play the game that really started this--wait. Demon's Souls started this genre. Well, that's not an option either :p. I might've seen a Blood of Dawnwalker trailer, that sounds familiar. - on Spider-Man, I'm glad I've disabled QTEs. Way too many of those. I wanted to ask, did everyone hate this game's version of MJ?

      Editing … Everyone hates the sections where you play as her. Then a certain corner of the internet got really upset when they made her "ugly" in the sequel. I don't recall any general dislike of her writing in the first game.

      Editing … I don't like her sections and I find this version of her kind of annoying, but if others didn't like her sections, then hopefully the followups took notice. If I play the sequel, I'll let you know if I'm weirdly angry about her new looks. What do you think of the Miles Morales game, or the sequel? Are they big upgrades, or more of the same?

      Editing … I have a feeling I'm gonna like playing as Miles Morales in his standalone thing. The villains are also pretty cool.
