Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Reviews
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.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a culmination of superhero games in decades. Insomniac outdid themselves this time, and Spider-Man 2 is what every Spidey fan is looking for. It's such a spectacular game and an incredible sequel. Spider-Man 2 isn't just a technical feat; it's brimming with lovable characters and exhilarating combat, accompanied by a compelling and emotional story, and has a city full of activities that will get you sidetracked. Spider-Man 2 deserves a Game of the Year award.
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 a joyous experience to play. It’s a delight not just as a Spider-Man story, but as an action-adventure game. It reminds us how great this character can be at his best, and raises the bar for every other game in this genre that follows.
I have some mixed feelings, but as a video game, Spider-Man 2 works really well. Hopefully Nixxes can fix the random crash issues. I'd still say that the first part worked better for me.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was and still is an excellent game, capable of surpassing its predecessor in every aspect even on PC. The gameplay enhances the strengths of the previous video game iterations of Spider-Man, introducing improvements that sort out many of the critical issues of past chapters and effectively making it an experience that we can recommend without the slightest hesitation. It's a shame, however, that the porting isn't completely up to par.

If you’ve been enjoying the Insomniac Spider-Man games previously on PC, Spider-Man 2 absolutely scratches more of the same itch.
If you have played PlayStation 5, there are no urgent reasons to revisit the game now. But if this is your first time in this sequence, it is recommended that you wait for some more updates before embarking on your adventure.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s PC release boasts impactful graphical and performance enhancements that allow one of the greatest Spider-Man games to glow gold. While riddled with a few very minor performance issues, the dynamic combat and engaging narrative slings this game to the top of my favourite Action/Adventure games.
Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic game, sadly, the PC version at this point in time, is not the best way to play. That is not to say it won’t eventually be, there have already been two patches and I suspect after a couple more this will be the ultimate way to play one of the best blockbusters in recent memory. So if you missed Spider-Man 2 on PS5, the PC version will be a great way to experience it, just not yet. I just wish Sony would learn from their mistakes and stop these sorts of releases from happening, but sadly their PC port rollercoaster just keeps on rolling.
Unfortunately, technical problems limit the perfection that Nixxes Software had offered in previous games in the series

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 isn't the spectacular game it is on PS5. Bugs and crashes plagued the launch, and while the game is now stable enough, it isn't always on par with the PS5 version. When it works, though, the game sings thanks to the great story and amazing gameplay.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 disappoints in its long-awaited debut on PC, delivering an adventure that falls short of the expectations created since its launch on PS5. As fun as the sequel to the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales is, the poor work of adaptation to the new platform prevents a broader recommendation until its most basic problems are resolved and the performance delivered is within expectations for different hardware configurations.

It’s undeniably a great game when it works, and everything that made it our GOTY a few years ago still stands. I’m sure the PC version will get there eventually, and when that happens it’ll be a must-play for anyone who loves big, open-world superhero games…but for now, you’re better off holding off, and giving the game a little more time to iron out the kinks.
Technical issues damage the experience at times, but Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC is still a great game.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC is more than just a port - it's an enhanced experience that redefines the boundaries of the superhero genre. The compelling story, dynamic gameplay mechanics and technical brilliance merge to create an unforgettable adventure. The differences between the two Spider-Man characters are portrayed very well and at times dramatically. Each must face his own demons and yet the two act as a team. For gamers who want to exploit the full potential of modern hardware, the PC version is the ultimate choice. More options, customizable keybindings, better performance and significant graphic enhancements (with the right hardware) speak for themselves. So if you are ready to immerse yourself in the dizzying heights and dark depths of New York City, you will find a game that is second to none.

The highly anticipated sequel of the neighborhood hero delivers excellent gameplay and a very fun story, even with some missteps. The PC version fell short of expectations at launch, and an improvement is urgently needed.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a masterpiece in storytelling and character-building, a must-play for any Marvel fan.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is sequel of one of the best superhero videogames. However, it deserved better start on PC than it really had. Its port was made in such a hurry, and it is not very well tuned, but developers try to fix it. Fortunately, these problems did not influence high quality of this title.

As great as "Spider-Man 2" may be in terms of content, Sony and Nixxes unfortunately initially botched the game's launch on PC from a technical point of view. It is all the more pleasing that the developers - accompanied by good and regular communication - are currently tackling the problems in an assembly line and many of them have already disappeared. In our case, for example, the first two hotfixes have already meant that the annoying crashes in particular are now a thing of the past.
