The PS5 exclusive will also receive mission replay functionality in a future patch.

Come on, it’s hard not to be excited about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Even if you’re gaming on the Xbox Series X/S console, you might be bummed not to enjoy this game. Xbox players might feel a bit of the dread PlayStation users felt when Starfield was released. However, if you have a PlayStation 5, the release of the next major exclusive, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, comes tomorrow. The game has gained a lot of attention over the years as we waited for Insomniac Games to bring the new title into the marketplace.

If you've been keeping an eye on the development of Spider-Man 2 over the course of the past year, you'll know that Peter Parker can randomly find Miles Morales whilst swinging through New York, and vice versa. Playing as either Spider-Man, you'll be able to help the other one out if you find them wailing on some bad guys, and you'll be treated with a unique bit of dialogue or interaction between the two Spider-Men for your effort.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is nearly here. Fans are eager to dive into this game, and we will soon see its release this Friday. However, if you’re watching everything released regarding the game, you might have noticed some online debates regarding fast travel. Now, the PlayStation 5 is a powerhouse of a console, so we’re still seeing some impressive features get highlighted simply due to the power of the PS5. One of the features that developers have continued to credit is the SSD. It’s allowed the game to load incredibly quickly, and that might have some wondering if there’s any trickery happening behind the scenes.

For my money, web-swinging around New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man is perhaps the singular best game mechanic I’ve come across in the last decade or so. It feels so incredibly right, and almost everything else in that game is built off it. I never really wanted to use fast-travel features, because swinging around was much more fun, and finding hidden missions and helping citizens in trouble as you traverse NYC is almost as rewarding as following the game’s main story. Of course, a great mechanic isn’t enough to make a great game, but Spider-Man is one of the most successful open-world style games I can think of, because it felt packed without being overwhelming.

The first Spider-Man game from Insomniac was proof of just how fun it could be to play as the web-slinger. It nailed the feeling of momentum and grace inherent in the character and fused it with a solid — if at times formulaic — open-world action game. Two years later, the studio kept things going with a smaller, tighter spinoff focused on Miles Morales. Now comes the inevitable full sequel, which not only has a two in the name but also two spider-men to play as.
