Shorter and tighter than the game it follows: venom powers add real variation to combat, and a smaller winter New York with a more personal story avoids the padding of the original.

The most divisive mainline entry: it opens with hours of orphanage caretaking before the crime plot starts, which is either the heart of the game or a wall depending on who you ask. Okinawa is a welcome change of scene. Combat added enemy blocking that many find frustrating, and the pacing never fully recovers.
