Spiderman 64 starts off exactly how you describe the game you remember. There is a tutorial, you stop a bank robbery, and then you have to save J Jonah Jameson by fighting Scorpion. Looked up some videos of the Scorpion fight, but it doesn’t look like he has a grab attack.
It was released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000. Not sure how different the ports are, but the game was ported to the PC in 2001, and to Mac in 2002.
Been playing through Tunic. It’s an adventure game that has a similar art style to the Link’s Awakening remake, but you play as a fox. The game has an in game manual that you find the pages to and it’s written in a different language that gets translated as you play. So you run into situations where you had the ability to interact with something from the beginning of the game, but you just didn’t know until you find the manual page much later on. It also borrows the bonfire mechanic from the Souls games, resting refills healing potions and respawns enemies.
This game was meant to be a chill relaxed thing to do before I hop back into Elden Ring for the new dlc, but it has been kicking my ass more than I expected.
