There’s a good chance you already know whether Marvel’s Spider-Man is for you, but reviews of the PlayStation 4 exclusive will go live on 4th September. Insomniac Games’ anticipated open world adventure is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year, and we’ll have full coverage from 7AM Pacific.
While the embargo’s close proximity to the title’s 7th September release date may leave your spider-sense tingling, community director James Stevenson explained that it wanted reviews to run after the Labor Day holiday in the United States, but it also needed to give critics enough time to properly beat the game.
Or maybe it just wanted to patch those puddles back in, eh?

this game will be the best spiderman game ever.it will definitely get 10 and. 9s.spiderman swinging to new york city.best city ever.word up son word
Just seen the photo mode trailer! I'm going to be spending so much time on that.
Fingers crossed that it's as good as it looks.
@adf86 Since you brought it up and sammy's probably busy watching American football pre-season games, photo mode.
My predictions are 9/10 from most sites and 10/10 from Push
@AFCC
I seem to recall Sammy saying when he got the code for the first 2 hours of gameplay, he replied to someone saying "it didn't quite feel like a 10/10". We'll see how the rest of the game treats him.
Regardless of score I can not wait for this!
@NYJetsfan123 he's reviewing it?
@AFCC
Seems to me he reviews all the AAA games! Could be wrong though...
I really hope the reviews for this game will be great since I love Spider-man and would be sad to see abysmal reviews
I think the aggregate will be something like 85-88, that’s great for a first game.
Even better if it’s higher, but that’s my prediction.
@NYJetsfan123 @AFCC Probably Sammy, or maybe Robert?
@PS_Nation
Care to make this interesting???...
@NYJetsfan123 Like a bet? What’s your prediction?
@PS_Nation
Sammy reviews it and gives it a 9/10. -1 point for lack of water!
@NYJetsfan123 Lol. And the metascore? I think it will be 87.
I also think that Push Square (probably Sammy) will give it a 9.
my prediction for this game is 91 on Metacritic
IGN : 9.7
Gamespot : 9
Game informer : 9.5
Playstation Lifestyle : 9.5
Playstation Universe : 10
Push Square : 9
God is a geek : 9.5
Gameradar : 5/5
Destructoid : 10
Dualshocker : 10
USgamer : 4.5/5
I've decided I'm not even going to read them until I play it. I don't want a score to influence me. I'm sure the game will be worth 60 dollars.
@PS_Nation it may end up with 90 or 91 but it can't be lower than Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age that got 88
@PS4fan That would be even better, hope you’re right. Insomniac worked so hard on this game, they are really passionate talking about it. Spider-Man will be their biggest hit, probably.
Ratchet & Clank on PS4 was a success too, glad they are doing great again.
@PS_Nation i would like them to work on new game for Ratchet & Clank like sequel game.. yeah it can't be lower than Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age that got 88 lol.. Dragon Quest XI look cool but i just don't like battle system : turn based.. RDR 2 might be end up with 97
@PS4fan
I've been desperately awaiting a ratchet and clank sequel for a while now! It'll come out around the same time as Dreams........ Never!
@NYJetsfan123 well, we have to wait for them to announce their next game to work on. i hopefully it gonna be sequel game for Ratchet & Clank after they are done with 3 DLC story chapters for Spider-Man first
@PS4fan I really want Ratchet & Clank to be their next game too, and then I want more Spider-Man, lol.
Insomniac is a big studio, maybe they can handle these two games simultaneously.
@PS4fan There's no way in hell Destructoid gives this a 10. Dualshockers might.
Nice, can't wait to preorder the digital deluxe edition if the reviews are good
Polygon will give it a 7: "too much exclusive."
@PS_Nation Polygon doesn't give number scores anymore.
Doesn't matter what the score is. It's a day 1 for me.
I think it will end up at around 83 on metacritic
@Boy_Number_Eight Yeah, that seems about right. It'll probably be a good game but still just another open world game with Spidey in it.
@Enuo Ouch, there it goes my joke then.
@Boy_Number_Eight probably a little low, lowest I would think would be around 88. BTW, I hate reviews based on numbers, I would much rather read what the reviewer likes and doesn't like. A game that gets a 7 could easily be one person's goat and another's least favorite.
That photo mode looks fun.
@PS4fan Still my top ten of RPG games are all turnbased. 😁
So freaking hyped 👌🏾
Loved Spider-man since the 1994 animated show on Fox Kids (remember that channel folks?) so day one for me.
@MightyDemon82 Fox Kids! I used to watch Spider-Man and X-Men there.
Photo mode looks epic!
A question for those that are looking forward to this game. would you still buy it on release if the average review score was around the 7 mark?
It seems nowadays that any game that reviews below an 8-9 is deemed average. It's preposterous!
@ApostateMage i might.
Afterall i bought vampyr which Also got an average score and i loved it. same for kingdom come deliverance (although i still have to beat it because it's a big game)
86.
8/10 from Push Square.
Probably will go full media blackout just before then anyway, don't want to spoil anything big.
There are actually sad pathetic people out there on a mission to deliberately spoil the game for people, so just be careful.
Hope everyone enjoys the game, I know I will.
@PS_Nation those were my gateway into marvel long before comics, saying that i'm more of a dark horse, Image man these days!
I'm going for 94 Metacritic because I've already paid for my preorder and don't want to look stupid if it ends up in the mid-seventies. (But I will love it anyway because I paid for it and blame reviewers for their bad tastes).
@Enuo we will see.. Destructoid may give it is 9 is better than 8 or lower
@KelticDevil just quit being negative to say that to me : get a life.. SMH. other people just want guess beside me
@Enuo that strange
@PS_Nation what next game are you getting after finish Spider-Man ? mine is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin Creed Oydssey and RDR 2
@PS4fan Dragon Quest and RDR 2.
@KelticDevil Are you mad? Don't worry though, you can always play acclaimed titles like Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2, lmao.
@PS_Nation lol those games are trash. i played both on my xbox one S. Forza Horizon 4 look awesome tho
It's been getting so much positive press and attention (puddles be damned) that it would be a great opportunity to look for the next site that is willing to give it a low score just to get clicks. The last great one was USgamer, when they let a new hire review Horizon and....well it went pretty bad. But hey, they got their clicks, right
Hopefully a ten but a bit wary after last infamous game that fell short on story and side content. Hopefully they've learned their lessons
Because of the Puddlegate fiasco, expect 7/10s across the board 🤦🏻♂️
In all seriousness I expect it’ll be receiving mostly 9/10s, anything less I think the reviewer would just be nitpicking on things that won’t concern the players.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been a huge Spiderman fan. I remember playing Spiderman 1 on my dad's PS2 a lot as a kid, so I get the feeling this game will be no different.
@johnny30
ISS was SP
This is insomniacs.
Besides I believe review scores given by professionals can sometimes be very far from the actual enjoyment a game can give to most gamers.
That's to say I don't care about scores but more about what reviewers have to say, which I may not find relevant to me anyway.
@LaNooch1978 @beemo Honestly I wasn't upset with the review at all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. What was suspicious to me was that the reviewer herself had openly admitted she had burnt out on the open world genre....so why did they give this to that person for their first review?
The whole situation just reeked of throwing a sacrificial lamb to the wolves to generate clicks. That one particular review had garnered more clicks than most of their articles do over the course of a few months. If that doesn't seem weird to you, well, nothing I can say will really change that.
@JJ2 yeah got mixed hah, insomiac not known for providing great stories
@PS4fan @NYJetsfan123 @PS_Nation I'm predicting a 93-95+ Metacritic scores and alot more 10/10 reviews, including PushSquare .
Also agreed, would love to see Insomniac work on another R&C game, with the style of Sunset Overdrive and Spider-Man in mind.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Why are you predicting such a low Metacritic score and PushSquare rating?
I thought you were one of the people hyped to get this and play, or am I mistaken/wrong?
@MightyDemon82 Same here I grew up watching both Spider-Man and X-Men TAS on Fox Kids ! I plan to rewatch X-Men TAS eventually, already re-watched Spiderman TAS a few years ago.
@KidBoruto I hope you're right about your prediction!
@KidBoruto 86 is a great score!
I'm insanely hyped for the game, but that might not translate to an insanely high meta score.
Detroit: Become Human is my 2nd favourite game of the year (GOW #1) and that's 'only' a 78.
I think in some very early hands-on impressions Sammy mentioned that it didn't feel like a 10. Maybe that's changed, who knows?
I think 86 is a low safe bet. Anything higher is a bonus .
from sammy's previews, i don't get the impression of enthusiastic hype.. maybe it's due to NDA, maybe it's not. i think it'll score an 8 at best, which will translate to a 7 for me, since it's spiderman. it's general reception might depend on how good the story is, or how enjoyable the side content is.. open worlds littered with tat and pointless activity icons like assassin's creed or watch dogs don't really score much above 80.
@PS_Nation Same here, I can't see why the game won't perform that well, aside from Xbox/PC gamers being bitter about never being able to play the game...
@Fight_Teza_Fight I guess you do raise a very good point . Hopefully the Metacritic score and PushSquare review ratings are higher though.
@KidBoruto i don't think this game gonna be higher like 95 than God of War that got 94
