If you ever wanted to truly feel what it is like to swing between skyscrapers in New York, The Amazing Spider-Man is one of those PC games you just have to try. Serving as an epilogue to the 2012 movie, this game lets you free-roam through Manhattan, fighting crime and taking down bad guys in spectacular fashion. It is an absolute blast for anyone looking to add an open-world superhero adventure to their collection. You do not just run around; you get to experience the pure thrill of web-rushing from street level all the way to the very top of the highest buildings.
Storyline
The plot picks up right where the first Andrew Garfield movie left off, dropping you straight into a brand new mess over at Oscorp. Cross-species mutants have broken out of the lab, and a deadly virus is rapidly spreading across the city, meaning it is entirely up to Peter Parker to clean things up. You will cross paths with some familiar faces and face off against classic villains like Rhino, all while trying to stop Alistair Smythe's crazy spider-slayer robots from hunting you down. It is a fun, self-contained comic book story that feels totally natural within the movie's cinematic universe.
Gaming experience
When it comes to the actual gameplay, the Web Rush mechanic totally steals the show. It lets you slow down time to pinpoint your exact next landing spot, making movement feel incredibly fluid and cinematic. The combat borrows heavily from the fast, counter-heavy style we all love in modern action PC games, but adds that signature acrobatic Spidey flair. You will be dodging attacks, webbing up thugs, and pulling off flashy finishing moves. Exploring the massive open-world city to collect hidden comic pages and stop random muggings makes it super easy to completely lose track of time while playing.
