Where Greatness Sometimes Falters — Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Review (PS5)

No Spoilers

One of the Most Anticipated Games of the Year is finally here. Many players have already 100%’d and received the Platinum Trophy in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. I have been a big Spider-Man fan all my life and have loved Insomniac Games since Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. This has been my Most Anticipated Game of the Year to a sequel to one of my Top 5 Favorite Games of All Time.

I love nearly everything about this game. Even though there’s universal praise for the game’s amazing graphics, fantastic web swinging, and unique story, there are some problems. Let’s dive into Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to find out why it’s not a perfect game but still my personal choice for Game of the Year.

Beginning with the gameplay, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 manages to deliver the fast paced web swinging once again but even faster. The introduction of the web wings makes traveling around the bigger New York City open-world more fun than before. Also, the technology of the PlayStation 5 means they can load the map quicker, allowing Insomniac Games to pull off the faster web swinging and the web wings.
