Although Peter Parker and Miles Morales have each been doing their part to keep the streets of New York safe for two complete games already, their newest adventure starts the heroes off at level one with not two but three skill trees to fill out among them. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has multiple skill paths to go down and you might ask yourself just which ones should take priority. I’m here to give you some tips on just which ones will give you the best bang for your buck early on.
Unlocking skill points in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in the first place will come naturally to players as they swing through the suburbs and bustling cityscapes of Manhattan and beyond. Each and every activity and mission the two spectacular Spider-Man pull off will reward players with experience towards their next level and skill points to match. With the level cap set at 60 and the Superior level-ups from the previous games not an upgrade option, players will find themselves with just enough skill points to unlock every skill by the time they hit the level cap.
Slingshot Launch
This is the first skill unlocked in the third shared skill tree for both Peter and Miles. While it feels like a gimme to include it at the top of the list, it just so happens to be one of the best ways to gain momentum from a standing start. By holding down L2 and X at the same time while on the ground (or perched on a wall), Spider-Man will charge up potential energy that releases into an explosive burst of speed and distance. Combine this with the winged suits and players can easily have the capability to sail across great distances without any loss of momentum.
Combo Resupply
This is another skill that comes from the shared skill tree that both Peter and Miles can take advantage of. With it unlocked, each time Spider-Man pulls off a four-hit ground combo (hit square four times in a row), the ability adds a chance to gain a free use of any unlocked gadget for a limited amount of time. These gadgets can be incredibly helpful for crowd control and distraction. Any time you can use the Web Grabber to pull enemies into proximity and finish up with Miles’ signature Venom Punch (or Venom Smash), you can make quick work of enemy grunts.
KO Recharge
Continuing down the shared tree for Spider-Man, this ability is unlocked just after Combo Resupply and the subsequent Perfect Dodge Recharge. With KO Recharge, enemy knock-outs, finishing moves, and stealth takedowns all provide additional recharge to those signature combat moves completed by L1+face button once they’re unlocked in Spider-Man’s respective skill trees. As the flow of combat goes on, you’ll find yourself sometimes using abilities and the good old web shooter (tap R1) more often than the

NOTE: There are major spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Throughout , the life of the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is put in perilous jeopardy on numerous occasions. The web-shooting, wall-climbing superhero has seemingly never been so vulnerable in any of his previous bouts, including the showdown with the Sinister Six in Insomniac's first title. Despite the plethora of threats in, Peter is a remarkably resilient character, though at one point his toughness and durability are tested to the extreme. Though an iconic figure, he is far from immortal, a fact that has led many to wonder what happens to Spider-Man in — could he really be killed by Kraven or Venom?
has a variety of suits for Peter and Miles, from original designs to classic comic styles. Insomniac Games' sequel has also aimed to include many suits from the heroes' cinematic adventures, with Peter's suits from the Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland iterations all included. Miles and Peter also have suits inspired by from the Academy Award-winning animated film and its acclaimed sequel .
Part of what makes our friendly neighborhood Spidey so special is his care and compassion for community. In Spider-Man 2, side quests reinforce some of the series’ guiding ideals: heroism isn’t always about taking down larger-than-life villains, like The Sandman. Sometimes, your challenges require a more thoughtful touch.
If you're anything like us, then you've already played all there is to offer in Insomniac's excellent superhero romp and are left pondering, «Does Spider-Man 2 have New Game Plus?»
When you have a team like Insomniac Games working on a set of Marvel Comics characters, you might feel they would “connect” the two titles in various ways. With the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the very positive reaction to it, many expected a hint of what might come next with Marvel’s Wolverine, a game that we haven’t gotten any new details on in some time. To that end, there are no direct crossovers or “hints” of where Wolverine might be in this world or what his game might entail. According to the creative director for the projects, that was by design, but they are still “connected.”
continues many of the stories seen in its predecessors, from Peter and Miles grieving the loss of loved ones to the return of Harry Osborn and the long-awaited Venom symbiote. However, one character's transformation within the series may come as a surprise when they return in the recent sequel, at least for those who didn't play 's story DLC.
Marvel comics, TV shows, and especially movies seem to have a requirement to emphasize the “what’s next” of it all, where the end of everything is also a tease for something else. Well, folks, Insomniac Games took that assignment, ran with it, and took a few extra laps just for good measure.
has plenty of side content for players to dive into across its open-world version of New York. These include a balance of traditional superhero set-pieces in which Peter and Miles take on menacing cults and dangerous hunter drones, with short, more intimate stories featuring some of the city's residents.
's story features far more shocking deaths than the previous two entries in the series. From classic Spider-Man characters to beloved NPCs, nobody seems to be safe in Insomniac's latest superhero title.
The Spider-Bots in are cute references to Spider-Man's legacy throughout the Marvel canon. Each looks like a different Spider-Man suit, villain, or alternate heroes like Spider-Ham or Peni Parker. There are 42 cute Spider-Bots across New York City. However, there's one problem in tracking them down; unlike Marko's Memories or the Mysteriums, Spider-Bots do not immediately appear on the map.
