Gadgets can be upgraded with special parts obtained in the city or by completing quests. The defense system has been revised, adding the ability to dodge and parry in close combat. Successfully applying these during enemy attacks can speed up the cooldown of abilities or lead to a counterattack.

If you want you can already collect during the story what is available but this will lead to more backtracking. The collectibles are all outside in the open world where you can free-roam. They all get marked when unfogging the map, except Spider-Bots which are not marked. To unfog the map you must go everywhere yourself and it will reveal everything in a radius around you (there are no sync towers to unfog the map).

In its Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC blog post, for instance, Sony highlights, “new raytracing options with individual quality settings to finetune performance and fidelity across a broad range of hardware configurations”. There’s also talk of settings for raytraced interiors, shadows, and ambient occlusion – adding what Sony calls “an additional layer of believability with realistic shadows and increased depth to the game”. The gameplay itself should remain unchanged from the PS5 version, just with more graphic options, and will be better looking for the most part. While the format might be different, this should still be the amazing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 experience we all know and love. Two suits in Spider-Man 2 can be acquired only through the March 7, 2024 DLC, “The Fly N’ Fresh Suit Pack,” which includes the Fly Suit for Peter and the Fresh Suit for Miles.

The map tracker shows exactly how many collectibles you found in each district and how many are remaining. If S8 has a “lock icon” it means the collectible type hasn’t been unlocked yet and is gated behind story progress or other collectible progress. The final collectible of some types only spawns after having found the rest. You can still get everything after the story in free-roam including side quests.

It’s a great starting point that sends the city’s hero and villain dynamic into flux as he sets his sights on the biggest prey possible. I am directly reviewing this game in comparison to marvels spiderman and the miles morales game only. Everything about this game aside from web wings mechanic was a downgrade. The game should have had coop, switching between miles and peters feels pointless and unless you are doing a specific mission for them switching feels pointless. Very few side quests in the game and the few you do have are fetch quests with no impact to the story.

This guide applies to the original PS5 version of Spider-Man 2 as well as the 2025 PC version. The first Spider-Man game from Insomniac received numerous DLCs post-launch. Multiple characters and stories within Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 likewise seemed to be setting up DLC, particularly the storyline involving Carnage. Because of this, many fans speculated over what would be in store for Peter Parker and Miles Morales when Spider-Man 2 DLC finally arrived. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the open-world sequel to the web-slinger’s first game by Insomniac Games, is coming to PC late in January 2025.

On PS5 in 2023, Spider-Man 2 at least served as an impressive technical showcase for the hardware, and a blockbuster release in a relatively quiet release schedule. On PC in 2025, without those advantages and in a disappointingly shaky state, it’s much more difficult to recommend. My hope for this sequel was that with the core action already perfected, there would be the space to improve on the wider formula, creating a more interesting New York playground. Instead, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 simply has more stuff—a bigger story, more pointless collectibles, sprawling skill trees, and double the Spider-Men. Feel the force of web-swinging with adaptive triggers, while haptic feedback responds to Peter Parker’s new symbiote abilities and Miles Morales’ evolved bio-electric skills.

Much like the first 2 games that have these segments, The missions aren’t fun to play, I would love an option to skip it and turn it into a cutscene. This game honestly feels unfinished and in desperate need of DLC as well. Much like Marvel’s Spider-Man, the sequel also has a slow, but steady build-up, as the game begins with an action segment where players have to save Manhattan from the Sandman. This portion of the game later becomes the inspiration for one of the title’s most expansive collectibles, as players later on can find Marko’s Memories scattered throughout the city. The boss fight against the Sandman sets the tone for the game’s scale, as each boss fight feels like a larger-than-life struggle with high stakes for the main characters. Furthermore, both characters have distinct abilities, so it feels fresh to switch them up.
