This short from my Marvel’s Spider-Man critique explores how the game’s side content benefits from even the smallest amount of narrative motivation. Whether it’s chasing down escaped prisoners or clearing enemy hideouts, there’s always a reason behind Peter Parker’s actions. I found that even a minimal story connection was enough to keep me engaged—something so many other open-world games fail to do. Too often, side activities feel like filler, but Spider-Man makes them feel like a natural extension of the story, which kept me invested all the way through.
