There’s also a ‘Team Huddle’ ability in which, after gaining enough XP, you can call the whole team over and, if you successfully convince them, you’ll all get a temporary buff in the fight, as well as Peter’s tunes playing in the background, making the combat much more enjoyable while fighting alongside to the music.
Audio

I’m not familiar with the comics (only the movies), but it still felt true to the source material — and that 70s/80s soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
Graphics

Combat: The combat wasn't very fun for me, but turning all the difficulty sliders down to "Easy" made it much less annoying and let me enjoy the story.
