I love the new Spider-Man game, but that won&#8217;t stop me from picking at its flaws.<\/p>\n<p>I have some other gripes about the game. In fact, I have a lot of gripes. Like I said a few days ago, I&#8217;ll be doing a full retrospective on this game in the coming months. When the time comes we&#8217;ll spend a lot of words analyzing this game and its comic influences. I&#8217;m currently on my fifth play-through of the game. Actually, my fourth and fifth play-throughs are concurrent. Number four is the one where I&#8217;m capturing all my gameplay footage and doing 100% of all the side content, while number five is just me blasting through the story as quickly as possible and ignoring all side content.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing I can say here that won&#8217;t spoil what I&#8217;m going to write later. So instead let me share some screenshots with you. If you examine these very closely, you might be able to spot one more little gripe I have with the game. It might be subtle, so keep your eyes open!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/spidey1.jpg' width=100% alt='Do you see anything wrong with this picture?
