The newest entry expands on its predecessors by putting both Peter Parker and Miles Morales at the forefront, testing their mettle and web-slinging prowess against threats new and old. From a world with increased density and scale to developments like seamless fast travel that can jump to any point on the map, Insomniac Games pushed the envelope in many ways while failing to implement an age-old option that generates fun.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has a lot of movie suits, lifting them from Spider-Verse, Sam Raimi's trilogy, the Amazing duo, and the MCU, but for whatever reason, they don't have colour palettes like all the others. However, one fan has come up with a neat suggestion for how that could be remedied.
