Global score61 / 100from 8 sources

How is this score calculated?

The global score counts every source that has published a review of this game.

When a source gave its own numeric score, that score wins over its verdict when this score is calculated: it is normalised to a 0-100 scale first, so a 7/10 counts as 70. Without one, the number for its verdict from the table below is used instead.

What each verdict is worth

  • Must play: 100
  • Recommended: 85
  • Recommended with reservations: 70
  • Only for fans: 45
  • Not recommended: 20

This table is app configuration, and it can be adjusted.

A source that has reviewed this game more than once still counts once: its reviews are averaged together before entering the global score.

Not having a score is not the same as scoring zero: it means there is no review counting towards it yet.

Only the sources we have a review from are listed. A source missing here is one we have no review from for this game — not proof that it said nothing about it, and not a verdict against it.

    Players who prioritize character-driven storytelling and emotional narratives, particularly those who enjoyed Insomniac's other superhero games for their story and character work rather than gameplay variety.
    With these reservations
    Combat mechanics grow repetitive and lack sufficient progression mechanics to maintain engagement across the 15-hour campaign. Level design plays it safe with similar arena-based encounters, and most supporting characters are underdeveloped. Not worth the full launch price.
