Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions - Good for Some, not all.

Mobility:
This is not a motion impaired friendly game; the control scheme players are given is the option, buttons will need to be mashed during combat - sometimes even rapidly. Web-swinging and wall-crawling sometimes prove more challenging than they should be. Navigation, particularly in building, doesn’t make much sense. No remappable keys. 3

Hearing:
Turning subtitles on or off is one of the only two accessibility related options in the options menu. Subtitles appear in an average sized white font that appears to have a red glow. Captions are done for everything, even [maniacal laughter]. Very deaf gamer friendly. 9

Vision:
All menus are very easily read; the main menu’s scheme is a white (while not highlighted)/yellow (highlighted) color scheme that scrolls to the right and left, and all other sub-menus make use of a white font on black/dark blue background.

The game is very stylized in the same manor a comic might be, and in the case of the cinematic scenes, a motion-comic. Red is used a lot in this game; sometimes as web-zip destinations, location markers, and possibly to surround subtitles in the cinematic cut scenes. While on the subject, the subtitles are an average sized white font with no background. Environments change from act to act and Spider-Man to Spider-Man the 2099 dimension is a bit visually noisy, and the Noir dimension is done mainly in a black and white color scheme with the introduction of color being almost shocking. Adjustable brightness is one of two accessibility oriented options in the options menu. 7
