Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Reviews
Besides that hitch, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a largely commendable sequel, building on what’s come before it in smarter ways than I’d put past most AAA titles. It’s an impressively lean and refined take on the open world structure that gives me hope the future isn’t just endless growth. Its familiarity is both a crutch and a boon that Insomniac manages to spin in a mostly good light in order to tell a story we’ve seen before with some key changes that make it land more impactfully than I’ve seen it done in quite some time. Though it sometimes struggles to use the entirety of its cast to great effect, I think what it does accomplish is no small task and more than anything, sets up an exciting future for characters I’ve grown remarkably fond of and can’t wait to see more of. If you’re wondering whether or not this title delivered here and now though, rest easy knowing that yes, it absolutely did.
Like its web-slinging hero, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 pulls double duty. Not only does this sequel vastly improve on the original, it has become the zenith of superhero features, bursting with blockbuster setpieces and sublime open-world action.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an epic sequel that goes through just like watching the Spider-Man movies – in the same breath.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 cleverly pairs its added width and breadth with more depth and meaningful new gameplay and story opportunities. There's rarely a moment here that doesn't feel thrilling, enchanting, heartbreaking, awe-inspiring or some combination of it all. Beyond untangling the finer threads of its design or narrative ambitions though, it's genuinely just the most fun, gorgeous open world superhero game out there.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is exactly the sort of sequel you'd want it to be, and though it stumbles here and there, ultimately, it improves on its predecessors in almost every way that matters most.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows steady improvement while trimming the excess. If you appreciate smooth and thrilling combat, outstanding web-swinging and flying, as well as superhero storytelling, then it's unquestionably a must-play title.

Truly a contender for Game of the Year, Spider-Man 2 is a game that justifies the purchase of a PS5 if you don't already own one.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero games. Bigger, better and more badass like almost every traditional sequel, this new chapter also shows the limits of the formula that needs to be urgently renewed in the next game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 builds upon its strong foundation to present a captivating narrative and gameplay experience that stands in the franchise’s upper echelon of tales.
Honestly, if your biggest complaint about a story is that it ended too soon, you can't help but acknowledge that it did a lot of the things right. Spider-Man is an icon that has endured through changing times, living on in the pages of comic books and the grain of moving pictures. And more than any other hero, the beloved bug has found a home in video games. So, there is a considerable history to reckon with. Insomniac's Spider-Man sequel does just that and more. It tips its hat at Spider-Man stories that came before, and then turns around to tell its own. Spider-Man was swinging before; the friendly superhero is now gliding over his neighbourhood, feeling right at home.
While Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is not without flaws, it’s so damn fun and engaging that you really don’t care about them. One of the best superhero video games ever made, period.

Sony decided to release its only exclusive this year only at the end of autumn, but it turned out to be excellent. A great storyline, an even more varied combat system, luxurious graphics - if you don't count the claims to the open world, it turned out to be an exemplary exclusive and wonderful action.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 excels in delivering a spectacular combat system and seamlessly fluid traversal mechanics. The game truly shines when it lets you swing through Manhattan's cityscape at breakneck speeds, a thrilling highlight of the experience. Yet, where Insomniac Games stumbles is in the narrative and certain design choices. The inclusion of stealth sections and an overreliance on cinematic Quick Time Events detracts from player agency. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel but also doesn't significantly improve its rotation.

It’s hard to write about – and indeed review – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 without spoiling it. Just know that this takes everything from the previous games and improves on each aspect considerably. It looks nicer, plays better, and is packed with much more variety. It’s the story here that’s the biggest delight, though, filled with genuine surprises, heartfelt moments and epic scenes that will stick in your mind for a long time to come. Spider-Man is no stranger to adjectives such as “amazing” and “spectacular”, both of which can be applied to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. More than just an accomplished sequel, it’s the best superhero game ever made.
No one expected a big jump, but what this entry provides is a richer, more refined, yet familiar, experience that is a bit better in almost every aspect.
