Comments:

Played in Performance mode. Runs at 60 FPS.

Many visual bugs are present in this game. Texture pop in, lighting issues, character models partially or fully invisible, muddy low resolution textures, floating and T posing NPC’s and object clipping all observed. Some happen constantly throughout the entire game.

Some audio delay with dialogue occurred.

During the mission Roll Like We Used To the camera cut during a cutscene to a shot of the closet where you meet MJ and stayed there during the entire cutscene. Camera continued to stay in that spot during the bike riding gameplay. Harry’s dialogue also could not be heard, only Peter’s. Eventually the camera corrected itself. Upon repeating the cutscene several times it played like normal each time.

When attempting to switch characters the game got stuck at a black screen. Game restart was required.

When in the amusement park mission Peter was able to sit on a bench. Was unable to get up from the bench. Checkpoint load was required.

During a Marko’s Memories activity after pulling the crystal out to break the camera zoomed out and the crystal could not be broken to complete the activity. Restarting checkpoint allowed me to redo the fighting and then obtain the collectible properly.

When swinging around the game randomly drop frames severely, essentially a slide show. This lasted for about 20 seconds before returning to normal. This also occurred once when using fast travel and a few times after doing a Mysterium activity.

When using the Bodega Cat Suit the backpack was stretching out in a random direction. Changing the suit to another one and then back fixed the issue. Also had a separate issue where the backpack would stay underneath Miles feet when swinging or walking around.

When doing a Hunter Base and after clearing all enemies I was unable to interact with the objective to continue. Restarting from checkpoint allowed me to redo the area and complete the objective.

During the Kraven boss fight his character model was invisible during a QTE prompt and immediately came back after the QTE was finished.

During the mission Trouble with Harry an item was taken to open a path. After the cutscene and the fight started the camera was zoomed back to where the item was taken. After about 10 seconds Peter was teleported to that spot. I was stuck walking very slow and no abilities were useable. I was unable to return to the fight by walking back. The game forced Peter to turn around every attempt. Restarting checkpoint was required and placed me at the fight.

During the final cutscene Venom’s head deformed during part of the cutscene. Harry and MJ’s character models were invisible.

After the end credits and being put back into the game some of suits cause Peter or Miles to turn into a small white cube.

During one of the Mysterium challenges the final enemy did not spawn and the challenge could not be completed. Restarting the challenge allowed it to be finished properly.

Once hitting max level the XP bar kept filling repeatedly, about a dozen times, before stopping.

After finishing the story when swinging around some buildings and ground had no collision. Fell under the map and died a few times. Game eventually crashed. After loading back in the issue was no longer present.

All trophies obtainable.
