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 is a good game stuck in a package that is far from ideal. Visual artifacts and a few crashes still remain even after three patches, and the game can feel less than optimized when the frame rate drops on powerful hardware. If you're willing to wait just a little longer or are the patient and forgiving type, you'll be rewarded with a safe sequel that can still satisfy fans of the Insomniac-developed games. This title also gets fans primed for the eventual finale what is almost certainly a trilogy. However, this release serves as a warning that Sony and its studios need to do some real work to ensure future game releases are stable from day one, or else they'll lose the PC audience that is crucial to funding future endeavors.

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.

With zero marketing and a troubled launch, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 raises some questions about how serious Sony is about its PC strategy. Luckily for us (and Sony), Nixxes is a fast and efficient studio that almost immediately addressed the issues and brought stability to this version of the game.

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.

Current issues aside, the PC version of Spider-Man 2 is just as thrilling and engrossing as laid out in our PS5 review. The story and characters grab you emotionally. The production values are top-notch across the board. If you are looking to play the ultimate version of Spider-Man 2, this is the version to play.

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.

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.

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.

If you’ve been enjoying the Insomniac Spider-Man games previously on PC, Spider-Man 2 absolutely scratches more of the same itch.

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.

Saying that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a bad game takes courage. However, unfortunately, there are things that the first game did better than the second one (especially in terms of equipment). Yes, that includes the PC port as well.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a safe but solid sequel to one of the best superhero games ever made, and one that's only real problem is its lacklustre PC port.

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 on PC is currently a bittersweet experience. The base game is exceptional, with an engaging narrative and polished gameplay, but technical issues are too frequent to ignore. Even with powerful hardware like our setup, the experience is far from optimal.

The game is even more beautiful on this platform, and goes even further than the PS5 version in termes of ray-tracing. Thanks to DLSS or FSR, the game can run around 60fps with ray-tracing options. For the game itself, it's still a excellent blockbuster that will have fans of Marvel's superhero dreaming.
