Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a premium action game for PC developed by Insomniac Games.

It explores their mentor-like dynamic as they take on a host of threats to the city.

Compared to the PS5 version, this PC port of Spider-Man 2 takes advantage of image enhancement and upscaling technologies, as well as improved ray-tracing to provide the best visuals possible. It also boasts seamless integration with PlayStation Network (PSN) to sync achievements and trophies between platforms.
Venomous threat
The first Spider-Man game was a massive success, offering a thrilling web-slinging action-adventure following Peter at the peak of his Spidey career. Its spin-off, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, focused on the coming-of-age story of Miles as he takes on the mantle of being a crime-fighting web crawler. Then comes Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which explores their dynamic further as they face new threats to the city.
The list of villains they'll face this time around is just as diverse as the first game, including the Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, and none other than the alien symbiote, Venom. Switch between Peter and Miles as you experience the duality of their new symbiote powers, how it warps their psyche, and the toll it has on their friendship and personal relationships.
Other notable additions are the two main explorable areas, Brooklyn and Queens, and other iconic locations. It also boasts various accessibility features and options to customize how you want to play. While its arrival in the PC space has been to the delight of many gamers, the gameplay experience has been marred by poor performance in addition to the numerous bugs, graphical issues, and crashes players are currently experiencing.
Messy debut
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is here, and the fact that it came only a little over a year after releasing on consoles is a nice surprise. Sadly, the excitement around its release has been soured by poor optimizations. This is one of those cases where more time in development could have prevented the majority of the problems it's facing now. Until then, hold off and wait for things to get addressed.
