A story worth living
There have been too many Spider-Man adaptations over the years. The “Spidey fatigue” could reach a lot of fans at this point. However, this version of the Marvel character may still be my favorite version. This is largely due to the incredible acting proposed by voice actor Yuri Lowenthal as Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
Peter Parker, whose alter ego is Spider-Man, plays a much bigger role in the game than one would expect. From a narrative standpoint, these slow, quiet sections like the humble young man are some of the best parts of the experience. They show Parker as a warm, kind, and all-around fun person. The way he interacts with those around him just made me want to see him succeed in all the best ways.
Of course, this adds a bit of a sting to the story presented. A long-standing tradition of the Spidey lore is that Peter Parker’s life is hard. Things rarely go right, even when he tries his best to achieve his goals. Though, seeing the adorable character hold her chin up during the worst can be uplifting for a lot of people these days.
That positive perspective certainly comes in handy throughout the main story. From the start, things aren’t ideal for Peter Parker in his personal life. Things only seem to get worse each time he takes on the role of Spider-Man, ultimately pushing the hero to his absolute limits before the game is over. However, our hero has a strong support system of friends and family who help him along the way.
A strong cast
The previously mentioned characters of Miles and Mary Jane are fantastic as well as extremely useful within the story. Peter’s mother figure, Aunt May, is also present and takes on a refreshing role for the character. This version of Aunt May is an incredibly capable older woman who is capable of running an entire charity organization, largely by herself, it seems. It’s pretty cool to see a woman of that age group portrayed as kind and efficient in a video game.
