Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - PlayStation 5

This hulking, powerful beast has arrived in Marvel's New York like a twisted natural disaster. The city has seen a lot over the years, but nothing quite like this.

A mysterious force of nature, it's unclear yet who this "Kraven" is. He's clearly here with a purpose. The Spider-Men just need to stop himbefore they find out what that is.

Pete met the 10-foot-tall, out-of-control "Lizard" in the collage. Nowadays, Dr. Connors has moved on from his past and is Harry Osborn's personal doctor.

Wall-crawlers’ gadgets have been improved to integrate even better with the combo system, which only adds to the improvisational fun that makes you truly feel like Spider-Man, as you can begin an air combo with the enemy-launching Symbiote Strike, or yank hapless opponents together with the Web Grabber and follow it up with further attacks. The new parry mechanic is essential to dealing with some of the undodgeable strikes particular enemies use. You can still swing away to escape, but a well-timed parry not only stops the incoming attack but leaves an enemy vulnerable to further damage. And then there's the new Web Line mechanic which lets you craft your own high wire paths across specific points in the environment, giving you even more control and flexibility over stealth takedowns.

Now you can build up height and speed with web-swinging before quickly switching to Web Wings to glide in areas like Queens, where there are few tall buildings. With the new Éléments interactifs like super slingshots and wind tunnels that act as jet streams, Spider-Man has never been faster in the air.

For the first time in the series, you can now switch between both Spider-Men, using their individual skills to explore different parts of the story. This isn’t just a simple character swap mechanic – how you use them is fundamental to how you progress through the game. While there are moments where the narrative will require you to control either Miles or Peter during specific scenes, there are also times when you can switch between the two on a whim. The choice is yours on how you want to use their specific powers to take on certain activities and crimes.

Enter the addition of Brooklyn and Queens, which nearly doubles the size of the city and offers even more familiar locations that are important to both Spider-Men. Fans can expect to spot places like Brooklyn Visions Academy, Midtown High School, and Aunt May’s house, where Peter is living presently. And don’t worry too much about the East River between these two new boroughs – your Web Wings can easily help you get across it…

Marvel’s New York will naturally be hiding lots of enigmatic and rewarding secrets in its streets and skylines, but one thing which has been given a Super Hero glow-up are the suits you can unlock for Miles and Peter. With new suit styles you can vary different colour patterns to spin your Spider-Man a fresh look, but the new suit tech system allows you to upgrade various attributes, like traversal, damage and health. And from that you can make even more choices to equip specific elements of that attribute. In short, your Spider-Man is tailor-made to your needs.

Norman Osborns's son. He has been away for the last few years dealing with the same disease that killed his mom, but he's back with a new lease on life.

Miles' best friend, confident, and partner in heroism. Ganke was the second person Miles told about the whole Spider-Man thing.
