Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist

Embracing Peter’s human side as he swings through the city was always a strong point of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but I had hoped the DLC episodes would begin to improve on some of the weaknesses in the main game. Instead, The Heist makes them more apparent than ever. Perhaps the complete The City That Never Sleeps arc should have been released as single robust expansion, rather than three piecemeal episodes that are just giving us more Spidey at a trickle.

Overall, The Heist is a solid DLC, and a promising start to The City That Never Sleeps DLC suite. The bar for post-launch content had been set pretty high over the years, but for the price-point, Insomniac Games has delivered something well worth your time and money. Plus, the short, but satisfying nature of the content ensures that players can crank this out quickly, and be ready for what ever fall game is up next on the roster. Handsome Phantom recommends.

Marvel's Spider-Man is one of the best superhero games ever made so you can assume that a lot of gamers are looking forward to its first piece of DLC. Called The Heist this campaign starts the 3 part adventure in The City that Never Sleeps and it's everything one could hope for. Delivering the same solid Spider-Man experience the core campaign provided and ending with an enticing cliffhanger that will keep players yearning for the next part.
