Spiderman PS4 literally only succeeded on being modern and fancy. It looked good, felt good to play, and was otherwise inoffensive in most ways. If you got it for 20-30$ its a pretty solid weekend binge game.
So they replaced the face model people grew attached to with a "its totally coincidence it looks like his MCU actor" one that is shockingly unfitting for Peter Parker, doubled down on the segments people hated from the first one, pushed dual protag status with a character people are already burnt out on, and then basically made the same fucking game beyond that.
Like, ignoring the woke parts, it was already probably going to struggle. It might have kept some momentum from the first game, but the Miles midquel already proved that had little power, and they seemed more interested in marketing it to Execs and Journalists than generating any amount of hype for it.
