Insomniac have proven themselves to be the pinnacle of the corporate developers. Their games aren't interested in being rewarding and interesting expirences or works of art rather they are mass consumer products designed to be as inoffensive as possible to appeal to lowest common denomenator, this has been what they've excelled at during the ps3 era and perfected in ps4 era with their ratchet and clank remake and their spiderman games which is reinforced here tenfold. I wouldn't call any of their more recent works bad but I would say they lack any voice and soul with the main direction to make something that looks presentable but nothing artistically interesting and create mechanics that look cool but arne't interesting on mechanical level. Spider-man 2 may be the product that insomniac has strived to make for all of this period of the developers history and I can't blame them, people like the game and its selling well but if you were to look at the vastly more interesting space of games as a whole and not just the AAA space then you'd see that spiderman 2 isnt very interesting and is just fine, average, completly inoffensive struggling to improve on previous entries instead adding more but not improving on much at all and unlike the similar approach nintendo took with the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom, the original spiderman ps4 game was not a very interesting base to build on.
