When it comes to modern video games, a trend that many people have appreciated is the building up of accessibility features that will ensure that everyone can play the game, no matter their skill level or potential handicap. It’s important to remember that everyone has the same eyes, ears, and hands, and thus, it can be hard for them to play video games that they really want if there aren’t accessibility options to help tailor the experience. Thankfully, the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is yet another AAA title that features plenty of accessibility features for gamers to tinker around with so they can make their optimal experience.
For example, as revealed by the PlayStation Blog, “Challenge Level Modifiers” will help you get the truly fair challenge you need within the game. You can adjust the enemy’s health level, the damage the enemy does to your Spider-Man, and how “aware” they are of those who are sneaking around them. You can tone them down for a lesser challenge or ramp them up for a greater one. Do what fits you!
Another key option that many will appreciate is the “Chase Assist” option, which will give players more time to react to things like QTE events and having to do certain commands at a really quick pace. This way, you’re not missing out on something just because you weren’t ready for the event. Or, you can skip the middleman, as it were, and have the QTE events autocomplete without any need for input from you!
Insomniac Games is also bringing the Shortcuts key options where you can assign complicated moves or actions to a single button press so you can get what you need done without having to do multiple commands. You can even reduce the game speed so that things like combat aren’t going down at a rapid-fire pace.
Plus, as you would expect from a game like this, visual and audio settings can be adjusted to fit the players’ eyesight and hearing capabilities. Insomniac Games was very adamant about this and did its best to fit all the needs of the people who might be playing.
It’s very nice to see the developer go so far for this title and its players because Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is easily one of the biggest releases left in 2023 and is shaping up to be an incredible experience. One that, as the developer has made clear, is something everyone should be able to play.

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.
is electric, telling a breakneck story of two protagonists and everyone in their immediate circle with continually escalating, incredibly crisp gameplay. Right from the outset, feels as though it’s taken a significant step above its 2018 and 2020 predecessors. A large and varied cast of characters is impressively juggled while players are set loose as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. City-wide spectacle is constantly juxtaposed with intimate, character-driven moments, all underpinned by the truly unsettling emergence of the alien symbiote hoping to reach the height of its potential as Venom.
Spider-Man 2 is one of the most confident sequels we’ve played in years. Not only does it address, often mock, and then resolve the issues of the first game, but it also introduces new mechanics to improve the best parts of the original.
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.
