SG 138 | Valoramos SPIDERMAN 2 + ¿Debe estar en la mesa de los GOTY? & Actualidad
Episode notes
The episode opens with video game news: criticism of the technical quality of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, a recommendation of Anodyne for people who already owned it, and praise for the gameplay additions in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They also discuss Microsoft’s investment in Xbox following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, Game Pass growth, Meta’s losses in virtual and mixed reality, and internal changes at PlayStation.
The central segment is devoted to SPIDERMAN 2. The team addresses the controversy around the Castilian Spanish dub, inclusive-language options and censorship in certain countries, before debating whether it deserves a place among GOTY candidates. They recommend knowing the previous titles to better appreciate its context, although they do not consider it essential.
In the review, they highlight the narrative, traversal through New York, fast character switching, visuals, reflections, performance and DualSense use. They value the side missions, but point out limited variety in certain events, camera issues and occasional technical problems. Their main criticism concerns long bosses with too few changes. The conclusion is highly positive: they consider it an outstanding title, essential for PlayStation 5 and a strong Game of the Year candidate.
