In Spider-Man, the webslinger mentions that the Avengers operate on the West Coast the game is set in San Francisco. Speculation on whether or not this game forms a Shared Universe with Spider-Man (PS4) rose when Taskmaster appears in the game's prologue.The gameplay, on the other hand, has received a far less positive reception.
