While I love Spider-Man just as much as the next guy, I felt underwhelmed by Marvel’s Spider-Man 1. However, after watching the latest PlayStation State of Play, I’m impressed and excited to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks to add a lot of Batman Arkham City features into the game and utilize the power of the PlayStation 5 which I think will improve it greatly. Here are the six things I think will make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 even better than Marvel’s Spider-Man 1.
Besides harnessing the power of the PlayStation 5, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is adding a bunch of new features. That, mixed with how this game already looks to be more cinematic than the last one, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is really converting me from being a grouchy Marvel Spider-Man 1 passive enjoyer into an “I can’t wait for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to come out” fan.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 1 only features Manhattan, but Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is going to include Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. The inclusion of two iconic New York burrows will almost double the size of Marvel Spider-Man 1’s map.
While more map isn’t always a good thing, I’m excited about this because it allows us to see more New York flavors instead of just Manhattan and it’ll make the new traversal ability, web-wings, feel necessary and fun. Plus, we’ll get to see more iconic Spider-Man locations like Peter Parker’s high school, Midtown High, and Miles Morales’ school, Brooklyn Visions Academy.

While web-slinging will always be iconic and fun, I’m extremely excited about the web-wing gliding ability in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. I’m a major fan of how flying feels in Horizon Forbidden West and I believe (and hope) Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s web-wings will capture that similar feeling of pure freedom.

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we get to play as Peter Parker and Miles Morales. On top of that, we get to seamlessly transition from playing as Miles to Peter and vice versa. Some missions will require a specific Spider-Man to complete. Also, being able to freely explore a different area wherever you left your other Spider-Man will be very fun. I’m also so stoked that Miles Morales looks to have stealth capabilities — I wonder how combat will differ between the two superheroes.

Something I found very dull in Marvel’s Spider-Man 1 were the activities and missions. Insomniac recognizes this and has worked to improve upon the amount, variety, and quality of side missions and challenges. There will be visual queues in the world that grab your
