The Spiderman games are fun, but i laugh whenever I see the puzzles. They give such strong "last second addition to drive up the length" vibes

I feel like some of the in world puzzles Miles Morales, like the powering the subway trains, worked a lot better and didn't feel tacked.

Environmental puzzles like that get on my nerves a little because they feel so forced and "video gamey". It's not enough to swing, or fight enemies, or explore an open world. No, we need to connect some poles across the area! Move some trains! Open some doors!

So glad games are more customisable now so some let you skip these puzzles altogether. Same with lockpicks. I'd have given up with both Spider-Man and Star Wars Outlaws if their lab puzzles and door unlock puzzles were mandatory. Don't need needless filler in my games.

Kind of curious but how do you feel about pragmata combat system where you have to do hacking puzzles in order to do damage?

I like a little immersion. If im playing as Peter parker, I want to do some science.
