Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a better game on almost all fronts. mobility and combat have been upgraded. New and returning villains galore. A soundtrack that only sounds like banger after banger. Side missions that feel purposefully attached to the themes prevalent in the main plot, which also this game's themes are a lot more cohesive in general.

All these things should lead me to say this is better than Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), but for some reason it just did not fully click with me in the same way the 1st game did. Did it hit me in the feels? Yes, but not on the same level as the first finale with Doc Oc and Aunt May.

It's semantics really. All 3 games from this franchise are certified GOATs.
