Insomniac's PS5-exclusive sequel hands players two Spider-Men and asks them to juggle both. A single button swaps Peter Parker, now corrupted by an aggressive symbiote suit, for Miles Morales and his bio-electric powers, each carrying part of a story that pivots on a symbiote-infused Venom. Traversal is the headline upgrade: faster web-swinging and new Web Wings that glide players across an expanded Marvel's New York reaching into Brooklyn and Queens, rendered with the studio's most polished spectacle yet.
Critics rated it among the year's best, praising the combat and technical sheen while landing on one shared reservation: it refines the formula rather than reinventing it. Players echo that, warm on the moment-to-moment swinging but cooler on a main story many found short and uneven, with the stealth MJ segments a recurring gripe. Backed by 30 accessibility options and now on PS Plus Extra, it rewards fans wanting more, and underwhelms anyone hoping this trilogy's middle chapter took a bigger risk.
Single Player Only
Overall, player feedback for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is largely positive, with many praising the gameplay mechanics, particularly the web swinging and combat enhancements. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the story depth, mission designs, and the reduction in content compared to prior titles.
