Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Released in October 2023 exclusively for the PlayStation 5, it is a direct sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020). The game continues the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they face new challenges and threats in New York City.
In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, players can switch between Peter and Miles, each with unique abilities and combat styles. The game introduces new villains, including Kraven the Hunter and Venom, while expanding the open-world environment with more detailed and interactive elements.
The incredible power of the symbiote forces Peter and Miles to face the ultimate test of strength, both inside and outside the mask, as they balance their lives, friendships and their duty to protect those in need.
Enjoying Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
The game improved on almost every mechanism over the 2 earlier ones. The first game would always have a special place in my heart but I would defend this game against all of the criticism people are giving it. It really plays super well, maybe not the story truly, but that's a minor setback. It's still a 10/10 game for me and I would be replaying it right after the 1st one everytime.

gameplay wise, it's basically Spider-Man 1 but better. the combats are awesome, and sweeping through New York always feels nice.
there's the same amount of attention given to Peter and Miles both in character development and gameplay, which is great.
we even get to play as MJ, Venom and Hailey (in a little side quest). makes the whole experience more enjoyable imo.
side content is great. i like how you can get near the 100% without having to look up soluces on the internet.
i mostly had an issue with the story, and especially the second part. Kraven introduction hyped me up but i wish we had a more interesting motive.
the whole Venom storyline is great at first but ends up being dragged out a bit.
i hated the Spider-Man's symbiotic suit (which sucks since you have to were it for half the game) and hated Miles final suit.
some choices were made to fit with the gameplay, but it kinda ruined parts of the story imo.
i can get behind Harry being Venom (instead of Eddie Brock), but MJ as Scream was really out of nowhere, only to add a boss fight. didn't really like the whole "stone meteor" and "army of venom" plotline as well. even tho i get that we need basic foes for the end game.
i also feel like Peter could've been more violent under the symbiot, but i think the character cannot legally kill someone or something like that.
not as good as the first, story wise, but still very solid.
hope we get to see a third one!
EDIT after the post-credit scene : SILK OMG
