Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the best games released this year. We liked the story, the exploration in the city, the amazing visuals, and the solid amount of content to engage with.

Insomniac seems to know every trick in the book when it comes to PS5. Spider-Man 2 is a game that is technologically brilliant, has a nail-biter script, "doesn't fix what isn't broken" with its gameplay, but still deserves 17-30 hours of your time.

In many ways, this game is the fulfilment of fans' fantasies of what it's like to be Spider-Man. We get our hands on a huge open city, expanded to include Brooklyn, Queens and beyond, where we use a wide range of abilities and options to take down a familiar gallery of villains. There are a few problems, though, and it's not pleasant to see them repeated from the first game.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 improves on the original in every way: a more focused and engaging story, varied missions, a very agile traversal system, and combat on epic scales.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a great sequel to a great game. It's bigger and more focused, and it captures everything that made the first game work. From start to finish, it is as fun to play as its predecessor, and if it has one "flaw," it is that you're getting exactly what you'd expect. I can't get enough of the game, so when I completed it, I instantly set out to finish all of the challenges. Kudos to the development team.
With familiar but still great gameplay that has a few new moves, strong presentation, and a mostly engaging story which gets better in the second half, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a crowd-pleasing blockbuster sequel that's worth playing for any superhero fan.
With oodles of variety, rewarding combat, and eye-popping cinematic visuals, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly a game worth buying a PlayStation 5 for. It's one of the best action games ever made.
Spider-Man 2 is great fun — a very concise package of technically exceptional set pieces webbed together by compelling characters dealing with friendship, loss, and trauma. The story, however, is unevenly paced with a short and quick tail-end, leaving players asking for more.
This is how sequels should be. They should build upon the events of the original, introduce new complications for our characters, present challenges that will help them grow as they manage to overcome them and introduce new mechanics that change up the gameplay in new and interesting ways. Spider-Man 2 does all of that and more.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 looks like a true next-gen experience, taking full advantage of the PlayStation 5 hardware. A more mature and epic storyline than in the past, spectacular boss fights, and some minor gameplay improvements return a superlative experience to the user. Despite some technical glitches, Spider-man 2 establishes itself as one of the best superhero titles ever, and a candidate for GOTY 2023.

I have mixed feelings about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The bad side of the amplitude is mostly related to some cast members and the predictable narrative. The game is a technical masterpiece and an exciting, functional sandbox. If you are looking forward to web the bad guys whilst paying less attention to the plot, this game could fill your soul coffers. If you also require a compelling narrative, you better be young and unfamiliar with the rich Spider-Man lore. Long-time fans have seen everything on offer here multiple times.
Marvel's latest offering for the PS5, "Marvel's Spider-Man 2," is nothing short of a sensational masterpiece — that being a matter-of-fact statement, given it is the Sensational Spider-Man.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows exactly where the power of the PlayStation 5 lies. Swinging around NYC never felt so satisfying and now you can float to Brooklyn too. From the first minute to the credits, the story hits like a bomb. The new skills provide a different way of playing and there is also plenty to do in this game. The latter sometimes feels like a repetition, but that certainly shouldn't spoil the fun because you are Spider-Man after all!

Spider-Man 2 is a sequel that is superior to the first game in a lot of gameplay ways, but also falls short in the narrative and writing. It’s a more streamlined experience that still offers a ton of blockbuster action, but then it hits you with some head scratching character decisions and pace killing side activities. If you’re a fan of Spider-Man then it is still an absolute must play game, and I would hope that at this point a lot of the issues I had while playing have been ironed out.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 stands as a nearly perfect game that would undoubtedly receive a much higher rating and secure my Game of the Year title if only the developers had taken a more daring leap. Despite this, it remains one of the best games I've encountered this year and is a straightforward recommendation for both dedicated fans and casual gamers alike.
Apropos of The Symbiote, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a faster, bigger, & stronger sequel, but also partly corrupted by certain design & narrative decisions.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s storyline was disappointing, despite the compelling characters. However, the gameplay experience is nothing short of exceptional. It’s so captivating that I found myself yearning for more of it.
Spider-Man 2 is a cut above its predecessor, with significantly improved gameplay and a narrative that tugs at your heartstrings.
Evolving naturally from the experiences of Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2 offers an experience with a bigger NYC, a bigger story with bigger stakes, and bigger, deadlier foes than ever before.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a textbook example of "more and better." Its gameplay, characters, but above all, the pace of its final stretch, grab the player and don't let go throughout a journey that seems spectacular and fun to unimaginable limits. It's a well-rounded game that improves upon everything seen in the first installment, elevating it as the best superhero game to date.
