Gave it a 3.

 

There's nothing particularly difficult as long as you make sure to save your Challenge & Base tokens for buying all the suits.

[Dark Poetry]

3/10. you can play on any difficulty and nothing is missable, but as many have and will point out save your challenge and base tokens on the suits before using them on gadgets and mods.

[Poindexter2291]

Seems to be about a 3 playing on middle difficulty. Now if you had to get gold on all the taskmaster challenges, I'd say an 8.

[PainOfDemise]

3/10

 

Nothing is particularly hard about the game. I have died a lot, but that was because I was just trying to to punch away in fights at times and not care, which in the end did cost me. I did tend to die sometimes, where I would dodge something, but it didn't want to work for whatever reason.

[Quickey]

Voted a 3 and that's because of the challenges

Some were easy, others hard.

 

Everything else was lots of fun

[TRobJunior]

Also giving it a 3. mostly easy & fun but the challenges got fustracting at some points but once you get used to them even they become kind of easy.

[GAZDAN]

Giving this a 3, you’ll have no problems getting to grips with it if you’ve played any of the Arkham games.

[Sellers]

I'll rate this a 2, nothing particularly difficult at all and I only died once right the start of the game, after that it was ezpz.

[Pyrock]

Once i realized i didn't need gold in all the drone challenges this was extremely easy - Was a fun game mostly. Content didnt feel like stupid side quests mostly and it was only tedious getting all the crimes. Spent the last few hours just swinging around waiting for them to proc up.

Gave it a 2

3/10.

 

Pretty standard difficulty for an open world game. Nothing is difficult, but you do need to develop your skills to get through it. The game would probably be bumped to a 5 or 6 if you had to Gold all the Taskmaster challenges as there's a serious disconnect in difficulty between getting Silver and Gold...it's a spike that's unlike anything else in the game.

[mikem192]

A 3, a 2 if you’re playing on easy! The fact you don’t need to ace all the challenges help otherwise this would be an easy 6/7 for sure

[CrusaderForever]

I rated Spider-Man a 2 out of 10. I played through the whole game on hard difficulty and felt it was a good challenge. I never felt like I wasn't going to be able to get the Platinum. The Taskmaster challenges had me worried so I saved those for last. After completing all of the Taskmaster challenges I felt they were the perfect difficulty for Silver on all of them. I even managed a couple Gold rewards as well. I really enjoyed the stealth in this game. The game was spectacular in regards to story, control, sound and game play. They really nailed everything about our favorite Wall Crawler!!! I kept thinking about The Superior Spider-Man comic during my whole play through. I hope we get to see that play out some how in the future. Such a great comic series. This is the very best Spider-Man game I have ever played. I am looking forward to the sequel and cannot wait to play it!

3/10

 

Once you get the hang of the combat it's a breeze. Great game.

[Jaytech]

voted 4. easy list, just story and completion. the combat took a bit of getting used to, because it's fast and enemies can hit you out opf everything.

[Mental_Disabler]

Take away Taskmaster and this is a 1.

[kantera]

Vote 3/10. Nothing to hard. Great game!

[CrazyRap]

3/10

The crimes were tedious and boring. Other than that the game is super fun.

Now I'm worried about the sequel, don't know how they gonna improve it and make it different than this one so people don't call it a copy paste.

[TrophyGuy90]

Voted 2/10. Once you level up a bit the game is pretty easy trophy-wise.

 

Definitely glad you dont have to get gold on all the taskmaster challenges though, that would make it at least a 6/10 with those stupid drone challenges!

[m1x4h]

Voted a 3, out of pure frustration with the stealth missions (Not the ones when you play as Spider-Man)

[honda hoe]

Voted 3/10

 

Everything is easy and fun.. EXCEPT fighting against sables

 

Very annoying

[theDane21]

3/10 a fairly easy plat, it was nice that you didn't need to gold all the challenges (or even one). grinding crimes in the end was kinda boring.

 

Great game.

[dittyeating]

id say a 2 or 3 max. even the trophy about not spending challenge tokens you dont need to worry about as theres enough upgrades without spending challenge tokens or just a few, so suites can be purchased when availible really

[Naps]

I would give it a 2.5 if that's permitted... so 3/10 for me. No missable trophies... no highest difficulty trophy... no earn all challenges in GOLD requirements. Insomniac did a very good thing doing that with this game...

 

... as for grinding in the end, that to me would be the wrong approach... clear the side missions/crime missions as early as you can. You will need the the upgrades to make you a bit more powerful each time... doing the crimes spots also helps you be more comfortable with the combat... In the end battling the end mini-bosses and the final boss was easy and felt more like second nature. Just be wise in using your tokens for the costumes.

 

This is a very easy game... I spent more game time completing Minecraft and L.A. Noire than this one.

EDIT: 15.03.2019

Got the game back to 100%, played the DLCs on Friendly and the Ultimate play-through wasn't hard at all. I don't think there is a big difference compared to easier difficulties. This game even if played on Ultimate is still a 3/10.

2/10. It is really easy. You do not need to even get gold on the challenges ( I did not even get one). You can also play it on easy difficulty too, after all, you are Spider-Man, it SHOULD be easy.
