The ending to the City That Never Sleeps trilogy doesn’t quite deliver as well as it wants to, being more focussed on a sequel is good for it. However, it has the same Spider-Man charm you know and love — and strong character moments — so it certainly won’t hurt to play this DLC if you’ve played the others.

- 8.0Silver Lining isn't perfect, with some samey base combat challenges and unremarkable screwball missions, but it's a fitting end to Spider-Man's DLC storyline. Though the epilogue series has had its ups and downs, it's still a worthwhile investment.
- 7.0Silver Lining is another excuse to strap on the web shooters and play more of one of 2018’s best games, but it makes that excuse in a way that feels complacent. Some great banter and a decent boss fight aside, it doesn’t provide satisfying conclusions to the stories that were started in the first two chapters while hastily wrapping up its own narrative threads without giving the nuances any room to breathe.
- 8.0Silver Lining didn’t surprise me much but it was a fun enough time overall. With a price of $10, I’d say that it’s worth picking up to conclude Spider-Man’s DLC story arc. Just don’t expect anything mind-blowing.Silver Lining is the final part of Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps DLC pack. We’ve reviewed the two previous parts, The Heist & Turf Wars, and you should read those reviews if you’re interested in buying the whole pack (which currently costs $24.99).
- 6.0Marvel's Spider-Man: Silver Lining wraps up the City That Never Sleeps storyline, but the hints towards a sequel make for a strange ending. A handful of new things to do will keep Spidey fans satisfied, and each side activity rewards you with some neat narrative details. It's a pretty by the numbers add-on, and if you enjoyed the rest of Insomniac's superhero title, there's no reason you won't like this.
- Silver Lining ends The City That Never Sleeps with grace but its grander ambitions make it more than yet another Spider-Man chapter. Through inventive side missions and its main campaign, it sets the foundation for the currently unannounced sequel to hit the ground running.
