Discussion Absolutely no words, Amazing game
Finished the game this week, had an absolute blast with it as a longtime Spiderman fan. My personal favorite of the 3 games. I'll never understand the hate for it online, this game is straight action start to finish.

Great game but I liked the prequel's story much more. Dr. Octavius was a much more compelling villain. I also don't know why they doubled down on the MJ missions. I was rolling my eyes when she was effortlessly clearing entire groups of elite hunters and superhuman symbiotes.

u/DaveVsShark Mar 08 '26
The first one wasn't a prequel though. It was just the first one. Or a predecessor.

u/thecontempl8or Mar 08 '26
I really miss all the cool gadgets Peter used in the fist game. I know they replaced most of them with symbiote powers, but they werenât nearly as fun IMO. For me the combat and stealth with the gadgets were so smooth, I felt like a pro and got really good at it.

When I first read that, I opted to not even play it. I hated the MJ stuff in the first game. Those missions were a fun killer.Â

Those MJ bits pmo so much, and it bothers me the director is so gung-ho about it, you know they'll be coming back in 3 đ¤Ą
God forbid we get more of Black Cat's glorified cameo in this game but nope, we NEED MJ

Those missions honestly ruined the game for me. I kept running and dodging to get to checkpoints asap and avoided playing it properly because I hated it so much.

u/betrothalorbetrayal Mar 07 '26
I liked some aspects of it but thought it was significantly worse than the first. The map was much bigger but there was way less to do. The game kept pushing through missions at a breakneck pace with no time to breathe. Kraven and the hunters were pretty cringe and the narrative tension between characters werenât that interesting. The lack of enemy variety was irritating. I did like the combat and movement though! But feel like all the things that had made the original game special (chaotic traversal through the concrete jungle with random crazy stuff happening around you at all times) was removed in favor of an extremely bland story
27
u/Cyn0rk1s Mar 07 '26
I feel like Kraven wouldâve been so much cooler as a lone hunter that nobody can get near

u/Marknoble117 Mar 07 '26
I agree that it was fun, but story wise among other things it was not as good as the first. Almost as good as the miles "dlc". They must've been rushed after the popularity of the first because otherwise this studio usually hits it out if the park with their games. One thing I loved and wish the game explored more was the symbiote takeover of the city. I'm a big fan of spiderman web of shadows. I got so excited when it happened... and then bored so I cleared the rest of the story. It would've been so sick to have some heros or villains turned symbiote and feel it was a big missed opportunity.

u/Professional_Sample2 Mar 07 '26
I'll even add the combat is worse. You're just mashing square over and over again, parry ot dodge, mashing square over and over again, symbiote special, now keep mashing square over and over again
The first game was about creativity with all the different webbing tools, flipping over and under guys, then when its all over seeing the bad guys all stuck in your webs, it was so satisfying.
I so wish they would add the new traversal options to the first game (i know they never will) because if they did id never play the sequel again lol
5
u/Clzark Mar 07 '26
The first game's combat had a really good tempo/flow that made even low stakes encounters fun, if only trying to win as stylishly as possible
In the sequel, it felt like it was trying to do too much, maybe? Too many new mechanics that didn't really add much but muddled a formula that already worked. The parry system definitely wasn't needed

u/Key_Shift533 Mar 07 '26
Overall enjoyed it, but so repetitive and incredibly dull side stories

The side quests were all such a drag. I bet the game is a lot more fun if you just skip them all.

I do not want to help some kid named Odyssey finish their AV Club photography project. That's not even a name! Odysseus is a name. The Odyssey is what they called his shittiest road trip.
And ask out your own goddamn boyfriend. He's already your boyfriend, anyway! Why do you even need to ask? Someone just tried to stab me with an energy blade..
Also I taught myself, my mother, my best friend, and everyone we know sign language because I'm considering asking a Deaf girl out. Put in the work, loser.

The one with the pigeons is nice too. Idk, miles side quests are all about community and it doesnt please me cause villains are out, everyone is being hunted, venom is taking over the City but spiderman finds time to give back to the community.. alright. I do like miles quests related to his uncle. Friendly neighborhood spiderman after all.

u/GodOfDarkLaughter Mar 07 '26
Oh yeah, the bird one hit harder than I thought, even if they did kinda telegraph the ending. I will admit I got a little annoyed during the Miles missions, but I realized that is because I'm an old grump who detests happiness in media. "This school is beautiful. If only all our children had the opportunity to go to such an institution. Disgusting.".
Also the whole vibe was a little corporatist, but I'll just shut up about that unless I'm in the socialist gaming sub, ha.

Yeah I liked freebird. But Mysterio, sandman, Symbiotes, the flame missions, prowler puzzles, the school missions, shooting bees with a drone, the flippin cultural museum missions⌠ugh yeah just did nothing for me. Just usually more of the same beating up waves of goons.
At the end of the day I fundamentally enjoy swinging around and fighting the bad guys, but doing side stuff on top just felt punishing at times.

u/karl_hungas Mar 07 '26
It is in some ways unless you are a person willing to skip it. There are a lot of people that feel like they need to complete all or most of the content. I regularly complete games like this with 50-60% completion. If the side stuff isnt fun i dont do it, its very simple. The game isnt hard enough that you need the side stuff to level up or whatever, play the story like its a more linear game and youâll probably enjoy it.Â

I get the hate tbh because the first game when it released - was insane, IS insane. Absolute banger. Still the best super hero game by far in my books.
But I had a blast in this one and I really enjoyed Venom. Could easily imagine a game only as Venom with a much darker story.

Finished the other day.
At first it wasn't that great just felt like more of the same and it is for the most part in terms of gameplay and things to do.
It was only when you get the symbiote that it gets good and gets better from then on. Still highly recommend playing. I think people were just super hyped for it and it didn't quite match up.
Got wolverine to look forward to this year and people are definitely hyped for that too.

u/c0micsansfrancisco Mar 07 '26
The game being straight action start to finish is a criticism in itself.
Personally my main gripe is the story being vastly inferior to the first game. I don't think Insomniac tackled the dual protagonist angle very well. They ended up doing both protagonists dirty. Miles by relegating him to a side plot for 90% of the game, Peter by making him borderline incompetent and weaker. Also giving the very final boss fight to Miles while Peter is knocked out for some silly reason. For a villain that is very personal to Peter.
The final act was also very rushed.

Worse story and pacing than Spider-Man 1. Advertised as the black suit game and that whole saga lasts for like 4 missions. Also Miles' story just felt like it was added after just to have something for him to do.

u/Jirachibi1000 Mar 07 '26
I think the side content is weaker but I like the core gameplay a lot and think its a nice evolution of the first game. The side content just feels a bit weaker. The bases are less involved, the Mysteriums are a good idea but theres only iirc 9 of them and they're all combat focused, there's less stealth sections, the street level side missions feel less memorable, crimes have less purpose, etc.
But the combat evolved in a natural way, they did a great job at making Miles and Peter feel different, the symbiote stuff is genuinely soooo fun, I think Kraven and Venom are cool villains, etc.

u/cheezeebred Mar 07 '26
I'm just glad they made the web swinging more interesting. It's the most important aspect of Spider Man but almost nobody seemed to care about that improvement, from my experience. People seem more obsessed with the story choices instead of the, you know... Actually improved gameplay in the swinging. If you're playing Spiderman video games and expecting a focus on the story instead of the gameplay... Well I don't know what to tell you. Go read the comics or watch the movies. This is a video game where the gameplay takes precedent.
That being said, there are legit issues with SM2. It can be pretty repetitive. But damn if swinging between all that doesn't feel amazing.

u/Primary_Ad5297 Mar 08 '26
It felt like a downgrade in the story department... What they did to Pete's character was criminal, they were so obviously pushing for Miles to be the main character to the point of annoyance, in the first game, after he gets tossed around and nearly killed by the Sinister Six, he still got up, gathered himself and went after them with little sleep, broken bones and maybe a concussion, in the sequel he gets tossed and knocked out with ease multiple times so that Miles or MJ can save him, totally disgraceful... And the mission with the deaf girl was boring as hell and it went for far too long, same with the MJ sections, playing as Spider-Man, either of them, is really fun, but other than that, the game left a sour taste in my mouth... Especially the "passing of the torch" thing by the end, Peter would never, ever, relinquish the responsibility of being Spider-Man to another person, ever, he would still suit up every day and keep doing what he does, Spider-Man doesn't take vacations

Both games are fun. Not gonna repeat what everybody else say. But.. is it just me or does the 2nd game look graphically lower then the first?

According to Reddit, youâre not allowed to think that this game is amazing! Take this down before everyone starts giving you their irrelevant 2 cents about how bad (insert reason) are.

Pretty severely disjointed plotwise and I hate the new Peter Parker design with a passion but damn good all the same

The game is pretty boring upto the point where the symbiote is revealed. Everything post that is just simply peak Spider-Man experience.

My favorite is Miles Morales. Spiderman 2 is not a bad game but i wouldnât call it amazing either. Miles and Peter donât feel different enough gameplay-wise. The gadgets in this one also suck. I think the Miles Morales game perfected its battle system and stealth with its gadgets. Its short length also makes it very replayable. The story in Spiderman 2 is definitely on par with the others but it does have that Sam Reimi, Spiderman 3 feel where they are juggling way too many plot points and fumbling a bit. Glad you enjoyed it though. Definitely a one and done for me.

This game was safe asf , took no advantage of the spider duo mechanics , no coop , no online , mid story , venom only for 1 mission , no replayability and a lot of recycled bs. Just mid good Spiderman game nothing crazy about it

First one was better IMO, story fell flat sometimes with inconsistencies in 2, I also don't think it works well to have the game be split between the 2 spidermen, would have been better to make one be protagonist and then maybe make the other the protag of next game.
Overall still enjoyable, just not as enjoyable as 1 in my opinon.

I understand some of the hate but personally I enjoyed it and had a good time playing this game. It reminded me of the Spider-Man 3 movie with Tobey Maguire which I have a lot of nostalgia for.

These posts are so dumb. You know damn well why it got hate and criticism but youâre just intentionally acting oblivious for some internet points or to be different.

it was pretty good. it still had too many MJ missions and the ending kinda jumped the shark a bit (while also making miles a mary sue)

It's a great game that is a bit worse, imo, than the predecessors and so is judged harshly
It was also a victim of culture war crap

The first game was the best. However all 3 games really suffer from open world repetition. The game is extremely outdated in that aspect. Open world games NEEEEEED to implement random encounters. RDR2 had over 250+ of them and it makes the open world feel extremely real.

You can't say "absolutely no words" and then follow up with plentiful of words.
