Should you buy it?
You want the ultimate Spider-Man game
You should buy if
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man game I’ve ever played. It improves upon its predecessor in almost every single way, while also featuring a story that’s even more enjoyable than the vast majority of Hollywood adaptations.
You shouldn't buy if
You didn’t enjoy the original Marvel’s Spider-Man game
Honestly, the only reason you should avoid this game is if you didn’t enjoy the first game, as it’s a very similar experience, just better. Otherwise, if you own a PS5, then Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a must-buy.
Final Thoughts
Ryan Jones
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is an excellent sequel, improving upon almost every aspect of its predecessor. It’s also great to see Insomniac fully utilising the powers of the PS5, with incredible 4K visuals, instant loading times and the immersive haptic feedback. I personally don’t think Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 quite hits the same heights as other PlayStation exclusives such as God of War Ragnarok and The Last of Us Part 2, focusing on minor refinements on the original rather than ever daring to break the mould.
