Spiderman 2 Review - A Classic.
2:14 the cut there is due to a small spoiler
Coming soon. I tried to do as few spoilers as possible but someone is going to be mad that something is shown. That is just how it all works. With all the caveats I may have had to reuse a couple bits as well as there was a couple rules in the embargo.

I'm very much looking forward to this game. I found the previous two to just be pure fun to play. Those accessibility options you mentioned are a big win for me too. I have a health condition that causes my joints to be stiff and painful at random times for random durations(can last 10minutes at a time, can last 10 hours or anything between), not enough to stop me playing but it does slow my reactions from where they are normally. Having options to adjust the dodge/parry timings will be glorious, because otherwise I can handle the difficulty, I just need a little longer to react(or slightly larger precise timing windows) for times when my hands are bad. I wish more games would add that type of accessibility option. Most games they just have a difficulty slider that lowers damage etc, I still get hit but it just doesn't matter as much, this can trivialise the game for me which is not what I want or need. I just need a bit more time to react to twitch reactions like dodges/parries.

Love that it’s more Peter Parker focused, has a good performance mode, good upgrades etc. overall, looks like everything id want as a fan of the original.

@andremalerba5281 11 месяцев назад

Got it! So it's the same 6~7/10 for me as the previous entries! Honestly I'll pass! There's was just too much bloat on the previous games compared to the real meat and potatoes story missions and boss fights. I really wish the devs stopped copying and pasting the same side activities like 20, 30, 40 times and focused on adding more story missions! There's just so many times that you can chase a vehicle, take some pictures, finding backpacks, help Harry's research, fight foes on some arena/robbery location, before it gets boring. It's indeed fun the first few time but I'm pretty sure more than 70% of the game hours are spent doing this crap so instead of a really good 10~16h game we get a 35~40h+ slog! Don't get me wrong ACG, I love your reviews! It's just that this games are really overrated and overstay their welcome and that many hours could be better spent with more fun stuff than what they give us.

@mattbrown9631 11 месяцев назад

as someone who played the first game and Miles both for the first time just back in October last year and played both on the 120Hz fidelity mode, that 120Hz fidelity option should be a standard. I can't think of a single instance in either game where it did not feel like I was playing on full performance mode, but got all the benefits of fidelity. Remarkable

@mmmmmmmmmmm10 11 месяцев назад

I played both on 120hz vrr performance mode. 40fps in quality on 120vrr is lightyears ahead of 30, but it doesn't beat 60-100fps for smoothness. Fyi I have a very low tolerance for 30fps, I paid for uncharted legacy and Spiderman remastered even though free on Sony premium to get the 60fps bcus I 30fps is way too choppy when swinging and camera panning and hard to control well.

@sawdust8691 11 месяцев назад

It's a nice option. Though it does make sense that it isn't very standard since only a small fraction of the players can use the feature. To me 40fps is quite a bit better than 30. I've used 40 mode a couple times in a couple games. But I can definitely still feel choppy-ness compared to 60+fps. I do hope the 40fps mode does become more standard though.

@mattbrown9631 11 месяцев назад

@andreasheinze9685 11 месяцев назад

Bit of a shame that they didn't much improve the open world activities from the first game and Miles Morales, but considering at which speed they pump out these games in insanely high quality it is no suprise. I mean, don't get me wrong, the side content was never bad, it's definitely serviceable but if there's a 3rd game I hope they come up with something fresh and new.

I definitely felt the repetitiveness in the first one for side mission or open world tasks. That’s one of the reasons I won’t be buying this game. Second reason is I’ve already played Spider Man.

How’s the stealth in this one?? In the first game outside of “stealth sections” - The stealth in the open city was rubbish, enemy hideouts, are clearly designed to be fights.. once spotted the enemy AI just know where you are no matter where you are - you cannot break line of sight… I thought it was a real shame as stealth as Spiderman was really fun… it felt finally right having that option, as you are not the Hulk. Spiderman has always used his smarts, agility, and speed to overcome highly dangerous situations.

@vjmtz 11 месяцев назад

I think those weaknesses mentioned, especially the side missions being repetitive are honestly an issue with ALL open world games. While I agree. Its unfortunately the way many open world games are. I think maybe the Arkham games did it best in that therre was detective game play that were are nice lore bombs and references to other villains and people. Instead of generic burglars or thieves like we see here.

@awsomeboy360 11 месяцев назад

That is not inherently true. Plenty of non-open world games that have sidequest that aren't good. And naturally some of the best games I've played MMO's, have some of my favorite side quests. It's just developers, etc don't know how to design good side quest.

@ValleyOfWillows 11 месяцев назад

The side activities became really annoying to me in the first game, after I got to the middle of the main plot or so. But one could argue that this is what Spider-Man is all about, although in an exaggerated manner, I suppose (I don't live in New York, maybe it is the Wild East like that). Maybe it would've been nice if those side activities died down somewhat because of the impact of Spider-Man's actions to counteract them. Then it would equally be believable if the criminal activities spiked again when Spider-Man is too distracted or if he's feeling down for whatever reason.

This looks like it's the same exact game as the first one. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the graphics either. The first one already looked amazing and was fun. The story was pretty solid. Of course my complaints are the same as with many due to the aweful missions (we all know which ones?). But this second game? I pass.

@pareod 11 месяцев назад

I'm usually not a fan of open worlds, because they are typically fillers and time-wasters between the fun parts of the game. The same is true for Spider-Man 1 and Miles Morales, you do the side-missions a couple times to see what's there (which isn't much) and then you swing over to the next main mission. HOWEVER, I will say that the open worlds in Spider-Man really shine *during* a main mission. Swinging and zipping around New York feels incredible when you are chasing a rampaging boss across the city or racing to save someone's life. Those moments are when the open world makes sense to me.

Not sure if you knew but the game has a web swinging assist setting with 10 being similar to the other 2 games and 0 being a lot more physics and skill based. Set it to 0 immediately and if i'm not careful I get stopped multiple times from either swinging too low and hitting the ground or a building. It also drags you towards building you're swinging from a bit.

@kareemabdulwahhab6919 11 месяцев назад

I love watching boxing and MMA because there are so many people who have technical skills necessary to win fights, and then you have guys who are physically different and can cheat so to say. Floyd played keepaway in many matches because he had unusually long arms and fast feet, where Manny has big calf muscles and could dart in and out. Roy jones literally left his chin untouched and could ambush you easily. So when you ask the question of what game do I like more in terms of fighting? I’ll always choose Spider Man. Batman feels very to the letter and athletically limited. Spider-Man feels like someone who would fight based on their own personal thought process to fighting but with powers. Like you aren’t supposed to leave your chin exposed when you box, but what if it didn’t even matter?? What if you could leave your hands down and just punch when needed? Thats what I feel with Spider-Man. If I get caught, it was due to my negligence, and not because I lacked an ability to be a super powered fighter. I can’t wait for this game and I always love your reviews.

@Skillet19988 11 месяцев назад

They addressed this issue in their next Spidey game (miles one). You could clear the whole base in stealth and it was so satisfying. In the first game yeah, I feel you. They give you gadgets and moves to be stealthy but then just make you fight anyway. Weird that it was not patched/ removed in the remastered version.

@superdarkenvy 11 месяцев назад

@@Skillet19988 in all honesty I didn't really try it in MM as I just assumed it would be the same. I kindof just blasted through that for the main story without really getting to into much else. Fantastic they've dealt with it though as I thought it was a top game otherwise.

Honestly, Spider-Man and GOW Ragnorak have been the only two games that made me consider picking up a PS5 this generation. Then I see what the brand is doing in the news. Really I just can’t wait for insomniac to drop Spider-Man 2 on Steam purely for steam deck compatibility. The developers in the studio are gods at optimization. Miles Morales is still one of if not the best optimized game on my steam deck. Really it makes it even more of a joke that the upcoming PS “handheld” isn’t a standalone game system, because Sony really has the talent to work freaking miracles. I have no doubt insomniac couldn’t get Spider-Man 2 running on the Nintendo Switch like a dream.

@@lawrencechew8484no it’s not a suit power. Suit powers are gone in this game. They are abilities that you unlock in the skill tree, and you can choose to not use them at all. You just have to equip the symbiote abilities once you unlock them. You can choose to unequip the arms and if you haven’t unlocked the symbiotic yet. The first mission however, it will force you to use the arms but after you complete it, you can unequip them. Furthermore, both the arms and the symbiote will be integrated into your traversal. You can dash forward really fast or do a forward leap via the arms and/or the symbiote. That you can’t turn off. If I were you, I would equip just the symbiote powers if you don’t wanna deal with the arms.

If the roleplaying is where it's at, then Spiderman seems like the perfect hero game to add an option to talk with the "bad guys" like in SMT. Maybe the focus or slomo gauge could be activated to open a few dialogue options and the slomo would auto-protect. If talk success, peaceful resolution. If not, the flow of combat wasn't interrupted. This one is free.
