Spider-Man: New York City

Spider-Man: New York City is a 2016 third-person action-adventure beat em' up and stealth video game developed by Rocksteady Games and published by Marvel for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It takes a more darker and mature tone like the Batman Arkhamverse.

Plot
In the beginning of the game, Spider-Man confronts the Rhino in the streets of New York City who has developed a warsuit and is the middle of attacking the police and civilians. Spider-Man swings in and takes Rhino head-on, then prepares to fight the insane criminal. After defeating Rhino and destroying his warsuit, Spider-Man rips him out of the warsuit and tosses him to the police to arrest him. Spider-Man then swings away with the crowd watching as the introduction to the game. This part of the game is the tutorial.

After Rhino is arrested, Spider-Man's archenemy, Green Goblin, seeks to wreak havoc on the streets and even gains a female news reporter as his hostage. When Spider-Man arrives, Green Goblin drops his hostage so Spider-Man rescues her, then Green Goblin then messages his henchmen to start blowing up buildings in the streets in an attempt to kill Spider-Man or at least make sure it is his greatest failure if he doesn't die. Spider-Man then defeats Green Goblin's goons and disarms the bombs, angering Green Goblin which causes him to dispatch a group of other dangerous criminals with Green Goblin disguised as a wealthy crime lord in an attempt to break and then kill Spider-Man.

Spider-Man discovers the meeting from one of Green Goblin's thugs. During the meeting, a disguised Green Goblin speaks to the other supervillains which consists of Sandman, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Mysterio and Vulture. When Green Goblin reveals himself, Vulture questions him due to his insanity and doubts his trustworthy as a teammate. So, Green Goblin manages to convince him to join in of the killing and Green Goblin effectively acts as their leader. Green Goblin instructs each villain their orders with his true intentions is to use them as distractions while he stalks Spider-Man to gain every information about him and eventually defeat him.

Beat em' Up
The combat style is similar to Batman Arkhamverses' where Spider-Man does not feature specific moves tied to specific buttons on the controller, but focuses instead on keeping up a perfect rhythm of blocks and attacks, which Spider-Man automatically executes in whichever style is appropriate for the situation. As a string of blocks and attacks are kept up, a combo counter keeps track of the length of the current string, increasing both the strength of Spider-Man's attacks and the XP earned. The only controls necessary for combo are strikes, counter attacks, stuns, evades and other special moves such as webbing up enemies, instantly taking down enemies and even disarming and destroying their weapons.

Stealth
The other combat style is mean't for clearing a room or area full of armed enemies. Spider-Man must hide and use vantage points to his advantage, as well as hit-and-run tactics to pick off targets without being overwhelmed by their superior firepower. Ideally, players were to target isolated enemies and take them out one at a time using takedowns, traps or Spider-Man's powers while they remained undetected.
