“Swinging has never felt this good.” — The Web Slinger. Scored 23/30.
Score Breakdown
The Review
Insomniac's Spider-Man franchise perfected superhero traversal. The web-swinging physics — which calculate actual attachment points on buildings — create the most satisfying movement in any open-world game. Spider-Man 2 on PS5 added symbiote mechanics, Miles and Peter dual-protagonist gameplay, and a seamless open-world New York with zero loading screens. The combat is a rhythmic dance of webs, gadgets, and acrobatics that makes you feel like Spider-Man in a way no game before ever achieved.
Fun Fact
Insomniac built a 1:1 scale Manhattan with over 45,000 unique building facades, each with individual window reflections on PS5.
