MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN 2 – PS5 Launch Edition

Love this game. If you like the other two, then you'll love this game.

One of the reasons to buy a ps5 for sure. Fun time all around and just more of what we loved from the first game, but more and bigger

Great game came wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap game worked as usual and wasn’t damaged trusted buyer would buy again

I am still exploring all the game has to offer me. But this is an improvement on the first game on many levels.This time around we get to play and switch between 2 heroes: Miles Morales and Peter Parker.Each of them has unique abilities. Miles has abilities that revolve around his venom abilities, and Peter relies on his gadgets which can change gameplay and keep things fresh.You also have the return of side activities and pop-up crime that help you gain exp and resources to upgrade your gear and suits.One new thing for traversal is gliding, you gain access to this right in the beginning which makes exploring the city so much more fun.Story wise it is a classic spiderman tale. I haven't played through it all but I can see a very promising setup that is bound to be a whole rollercoaster.Do you need to play the previous games?I recommend that you at least play the first insomniac spiderman game. The game offers a recap but a lot of call backs and nuance will be lost if you hop right into this game. On the other hand, you can completely skip the Miles Morales game and play this one. The Miles Morales game is only about 8 hrs of story which this game gives you a good recap of. Plus maybe skipping it will offer some more "freshness" to playing Miles in this game.Cons:This game at its core retained a lot of what made the first game great. But it can feel repetitive. Combat as usual is not so much challenging but a mashing of buttons against enemies that soak up damage to different degrees depending on how "tough" they are. When the game tries to challenge you, it does so by throwing enemies that block you or try to overwhelm you with numbers which after a few fights can get cumbersome. The fights are definitely more enjoyable as Miles. At least for me.There is some grind to this game, but only if you want to unlock everything and get every activity done. And I recommend at least unlocking skills because otherwise, combat will get even more stale.Pros:The graphics are beautifulThe swinging and traversal of the city is fun and so spot on.Story is intriguing and the character switching is fun and freshens up the gameplayNow, is the game worth $69.99? Sadly, not to me.Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game and if you liked the previous games and you enjoy Spiderman/Marvel you will like this game. You have a lot of gameplay and a lot of content to find and explore but when I looked it up the campaign averages 18-20 hrs without the side activities. When you include the side stuff you are looking at 30 hrs of gameplay. Unless you pursue a completionist gameplay then you are looking at 40 hrs (estimated)But the content is not enough to warrant the not-so-new price increase of video games. If you are really excited about the game, you can buy it at full price. But honestly, I would wait for a sale if you can. Holidays are right around the corner afterall.

This is a great game, really great game. Only problem is I finished at 5 hours, platinum and some of the game is and I hate this about politics and gender politics and just current political crap that I don't want to talk about. I don't want in my video game. I don't want to think about it. I just want to play a game that Spider-Man and not. About politics and current hot topics So I'm going to say good things, and that's the game's excellent really good, really fun.However if like me beat the entire game 100% with platinum in 5hrs The original Spider-Man game is better. But this sequel is better in a lot of other ways. Miles Morales is cool. However, I don't like the way they changed him and keep forcing in hot topics. And it's just trying to pass over that and just. Thank it's Spider-Man and spider that's taking his place after the Events of the game. Don't buy it at full price.Wait for the price to come down.Then get it because come on.It's a great game but not seventy dollars not fifty dollars twenty bucks okay

I was really looking forward to this game, and for the most part I got the improved gameplay I was hoping for. There are added traversal options for web swinging, and you also have web "wings" that let you glide all over both boroughs. You'll find yourself zipping all over the city much faster than in either the first Spider-Man, or Spider-Man: Miles Morales.You can also unlock Fast Travel as before, and it is MUCH faster. No more subway cut scenes. Once you've unlocked the option for that area, pick it on the map and you're there in a few seconds, mid swing or glide.The game looks amazing either in Fidelity or Performance mode. In both ray tracing is present, though of course done better in Fidelity mode.You play as both Peter and Miles. Most of their supporting casts are back and I like all of those characters for the most part.The one character I sometimes don't like is MJ. Most people didn't want to play as her again and instead of listening to that, Insomniac chose to give us more missions as her. They did try to make them more action oriented, but for me they came across as bit too unbelievable even for a superhero game. I was disappointed with them.I also felt that the writers went out of their way to malign Peter Parker, partly to help prop up Miles, which wasn't necessary. Miles is already fine on his own, he didn't need them to tear down Peter. We also have Peter doubting himself, diminishing himself at times. Once you pick up on this it tends to stick out. It's especially bad during one of the last missions. There's some dialogue that just made me shake my head.There are some side missions that people have been complaining about.The one mission with Miles' girlfriend, I didn't think it was so bad. It slowed the game down a bit and probably should have been optional, but I wasn't put off by it.There were other missions and certain imagery that annoyed a lot of people. I don't think I should get into those here, though.I unlocked the platinum trophy in about 36 hours, and for much of that time I did not use Fast Travel, and I did some goofing off and messing around, not focusing on anything specific. If you're just looking to do the story, you're looking at maybe 12-15 hours, and that's being generous.You don't need to play on Ultimate difficulty to get trophies or anything. You beat the game, and get the option to play on Ultimate for seemingly nothing other than the challenge.I enjoyed this game overall, but I worry a bit about what they will do with Peter Parker in the next game. The Wolverine game will also take place in this universe, and I worry that Insomniac is veering off course and we may get a Logan that is somewhat neutered as they prop up maybe Laura(X-23), or some other character. I hope I'm wrong. I hope they do Wolverine justice and stay focused on him and his journey, and I hope it's a violent one with nothing held back.If you haven't picked up this game yet, you may want to wait for a sale. At $70, it might not be worth it to you. You'll have fun, but you'll probably put it down a lot sooner than you're expecting.

Spider man from young to old. Good game
