    The biggest problem is the performance. I have a 9800X3D / RTX5080 / 32GB RAM and I was playing this game more than a year after launch on steam. There shouldn't be any problems. Yet I was constantly getting stutters and the game froze several times in my 37 hours of game time and I had to Alt F4 the game each time. This is not the quality I was expecting from an AAA $60 game. Performance issues aside, I enjoyed the story and swinging around NYC. Peter's quips never get old. But the combat got…

    For years now, people around me have been dogging on this game, and some of it I understood. Miles' original costume is some hot garbage, the way Miles is written is horible and in general the game was just super "Triple A". But I am someone who likes Spider-Man even at some of his worst. I like Spider-Man 3. I like Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2. I like all the Tom Holland movies. I just like Spider-Man. I did not like this game. The writing is horrible, the main plot is horrible, and every…

    Spider-Man 2 is one of the most fun superhero games I've ever played. The web-swinging is phenomenal, combat is even better than before, traversal feels addictive, the soundtrack is fantastic, and the voice cast delivers excellent performances across the board. From a gameplay perspective, Insomniac once again proves they know how to make Spider-Man feel incredible to play. Unfortunately, this is also the most conflicted I've ever felt after finishing a game. Unlike its predecessors,…

    Like Spider-Man, I just love watching my wife's boyfriend shoot white stuff all over my face. Makes you FEEL even more like Spider-man. The way Peter leaps off of rooftops and dives downwards is just full of the understated stiffness of a young white male. Honestly, It really did make me feel like Spiderman too. The game is so incredibly bland. It's like a fast food fry without salt. There's some great aspects to the game and I'm sure if they had more time, a few story beats could have…

The real final boss. I absolutely loved Marvel's Spiderman and Miles Morales, so it's almost ironic that Spiderman 2 ended up being such a disappointment for me. I was so excited to play it that I bought it at only a 22% discount, and honestly, I wish I'd waited for a bigger sale. One thing Insomniac…

    Beat the game. Played SM1 but skipped Miles Morales. This was pretty underwhelming compared to the first Spiderman game. Traversal is easily the best part of this game. Web swinging is heaps of fun and they have nailed this. But everything else is a bit lacklustre. Combat isn't the most engaging IMO, enemies feel too spongy and you end up just cyling through abilities or gadgets. It felt very repetitive very quickly - and the same can be said for the boss fights. Cool to start, but you end…

    I played it on PlayStation 5 and I thought it was alright i played it like 2 years ago but this PC version is a terrible port. Do not buy this for Steam Deck very misleading by Valve, Insomniac and Nixxes marking this as "Verified." It is completely unplayable on Steam Deck. The frame rate constantly dips into the low teens. The audio crackles and cuts out during cutscenes. Turning the graphics down to the absolute lowest settings makes the game look like a blurry PlayStation 2 mess and it…

    The PC port for this game is unfortunately terrible. I've ran high intensity games on the highest settings like god of war ragnorok and high settings on cyberpunk with no issues. Hell even the first spiderman game on full settings. But this game frequently crashes, certain settings make the screen generate blank pixels instead of actual particle effects, and I got stuck on a cut scene about 9 hours again that instantly crashes my game no matter what.

    I would say that this game is great and amazing however, It says that it is "great on the Steam Deck". In reality I couldn't get past the first fight because it would lag and crash on my steam deck, this is with the lowest graphics settings btw. Sure it may be "compatible" but that doesn't mean playable.

    I am unable to play this game on my computer. I've been able to play Spiderman 1 and Miles Morales no problem as well as Cyberpunk. I've tried lowering the graphics settings but the scripted beginning keeps frame skipping as well as having clipping issues with every npc in the beginning cutscenes. I can only pretty much load the main menu.

Love the game when i'm actually able to play it but this is the laziest port i've ever seen. If you really want to play this game just get a PS5. Do better Sony and release this amazing character from your greedy ignorant clutches.

    SPOILER ALERT! Spider-Man 2 soars with beauty and heart yet stumbles through its own shadows, leaving a bittersweet thrill that dazzles the eyes but weighs heavy on the soul. When I first saw the trailer for this game, I was downright excited. It had everything I liked: two Spider-Men to play as, different costumes, and the ability to play as Venom, something I missed when I did not get to play Web of Shadows. So when I saw it was coming to PC late last year (2024), I was head over heels…

I really wanted to enjoy it, but there were too many issues that held it back. While there are a few positives, they’re buried under weak storytelling, frustrating design choices, and an overbearing sense of corporate messaging.

    A complete disappointment. Likely different writers from the first game, which was immaculately written. Everyone speaks like HR in Positivity Day, there's not a single genuine, decent line in the game. Miles' voice actor feels like he's about to start crying at any moment. The gameplay's okay but it's more of the same. Third game in a row with something that feels very tired and repetitive at this point.

HOWEVER that isn't why I have so many hours in this game. You don't just play it for the story, you play it to be Spider-Man. The movement, the swinging, combat, and more, all do an amazing job at making me feel like Spider-Man. The majority of my hours in this game are post-story, and just me…

The combat is fun and the web swinging is incredibly addictive. I went into this game with no expectations and ended up having a great time. It was a super fun experience overall and absolutely worth buying in my opinion.
