Good reviews so far, Metacritic average of 88 from 47 reviews. I was sitting on the fence about ordering it, I've been convinced by the reviews

Reviews were much better than I expected so sounds like fans will have a great game on their hands! Still not enough to sway me to part with £50 but will certainly pick it up in the near future! Bet the price holds longer than usual as it's marvel

Not true according to John Linnerman

And that is a guy that really knows what he's talking about.

"Probably the best Spider-Man game ever done, but still far from perfect. Insomniac has made an excellent sandbox but its repetitiveness and some technical issues make this game a bit less stellar."
Yeah it seems like it has a lot of the Arkham Batman games (combat) and bits of sandbox games that have gone before (Infamous, AC/Far Cry towers etc) so it's not re-inventing anything but it is fun to play. Sounds good to me but I'll get it down the road.
Not sure why it's £50 either!

It looks different from videos the lighting and smoke effects looked better in 2016 videos. It still looks great to me more than good enough. Hopefully it runs ok which with the dynamic res patch it’s meant to run a lot better.
All the new games seem to have gone up in price. I think they are aiming for £49.99 to be the norm now rather than £39.99......

It will probably be common place to see 59.99+ next gen I guarantee.
Jim Stirling review sums it up nicely for me and I'm happy to await a small discount. Sounds like it plays really well but suffers from generic open world stuff which I'm not up for right now
Reviews are good enough for me and I really like the look of the game but prices have been getting pretty ridiculous lately. I'll wait for a PSN sale or get a physical copy once it gets cheaper, as I usually do. Not even getting RDR2 on release so this'll have to wait as well.

Be warned - Digital Foundry's tech analysis video apparently spoils the main villain.

I paid £45 ish from Shopto, because I had quite a few points saved up from previous purchases. I agree that games are expensive - they really ought to be £40 - but other than Red Dead Redemption 2 this is probably the only launch day purchase for me between now and next year. I'll end up getting Shadow of the Tomb Raider and AC: Odyssey at some point, but I'll wait until those come down in price or are available second-hand.
