About This Game

Insomniac's sequel is built around movement. Swinging and gliding across a compact, hyper-detailed New York is the best traversal in any game here, and combat gains new gadgets and a second playable Spider-Man to rotate through. It is a polished, cinematic open world that trades scale for density.

That trade defines its reception. The traversal and set-pieces earn near-universal praise; the sharper criticisms target the story, a few weak side missions, and a world some feel offers less to do than its scale suggests. Teen-rated and accessible, it is the pick for a slick open world you can finish rather than a hundred-hour sink, and a soft landing for newcomers. Rated Teen.

Highlights

  • Playable as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales
  • Introduction of the symbiote suit mechanics
  • Expanded open-world environment in New York City
  • New combat mechanics and abilities
