Also both quite similar really... fairly simple combat with just enough variety to keep it interesting. Spiderman maybe edges out Ghosts for me there. Decent amount of "open world collectithon" stuff to do.. I'd say Spiderman also wins here overall. Both have boring as shit stories and unskippable cutscenes, Sony is so far up their own ass when it comes to making us watch their boring stories and that's on full display with both games... so they both get a -1 on that.
Overall really fun if not simple and occasionally boring games.
You can't go wrong either way. I think Spiderman beats it by a hair in terms of production quality. It's just a bit more polished. But Ghost has a pretty interesting story in a great setting. If they do a sequel for Ghost with their learnings and maybe bigger budget, to me it would immediately be a GOTY candidate
I platinumed both this year. My vote is GoT. Spider-man is a lot of fun, but GoT is amazing. The game is often breathtakingly beautiful and I liked the main story and the major quests more.
Well, you can get Spider Man as a PS Classic for $20 on PSN, and Ghost is on sale for $40 for the vanilla version, and $50 for the Deluxe version. So, either way, you can get Spider Man for half the price or better. If money is a concern, then get Spider Man.
Both are really nice games, you can't go wrong with either. Honestly, if money's not a concern, just get both.
I guess it depend how burnt out you are on modern open world tropes. Tsushima presents a beautiful world and has some really interesting mechanics (duels, haiku) but I got burnt out after the first area. It isn't doing anything particularly wrong, but it really doesn't set itself apart much either.
Spider Man is a much breezier game. The side content here isn't great either and feels very cut-and-paste, but the may story is worth the time investment.
These are the only 2 games ever where I got the Platinum trophy, they're both fantastic. Since you mention money in your OP get Spidey as it is cheaper and save Ghost for later when it hits a lower price.
Just based on value go with Ghost , Spiderman is dirt cheap now . Ghost has not been below $40 except a short Wal mart price mistake. Just bought Ghost myself today in fact.
