System: PS5

Got Platinum Trophy

Well... where do I even begin? With Marvel's Spider-Man on the PS4 being one of my favorite games of all time, it's safe to say that I had extremely high expectations for this game. It's been a couple of days since I beat it, and I can finally confirm that yes, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 reached my expectations and even went a little beyond them. It is not a perfect game at all. The story felt a bit messier, and the side content was not as enjoyable, but it still delivered an amazing experience for me, and its issues are overridden by its triumphant successes. The original game's perfect swinging has somehow been made even better, and way more fun. The combat is just as fun as the original, with lots of new moves to pull off to get even crazier combos. I loved the symbiote suit, Kraven, and of course Venom (and his 19 inches). There are still some things I wish they had done a bit differently, such as showing Miles interact with Harry more, but all-in-all there is really not that much to complain about here. Since the first game was all new to me when I first played it, I think it might leave a greater impact on me, but that should not detract from the masterpiece that is Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Insomniac have once again proven how good of a studio they are, and I am extremely thankful to get to play a game that is as good as this.

10 / 10.
