What exactly makes a good "Spider-Man" game? As early as five years ago, Sony's first-party developer Insomniac Games demonstrated this answer with "Marvel's Spider-Man". You can control Spider-Man in the condensed Every movement in the smooth swinging game of Manhattan, New York captures the essence of Spider-Man. The high-speed and refreshing hand-to-hand combat, the interesting spider silk gameplay, and a resonant story all make "Marvel's Spider-Man" a masterpiece. The excellent work of the late PS4 and the later released PS5 escort work "Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales" just pretend it doesn't exist... Any work that sells DLC separately is doomed to fail. Today, Insomniac Games has absorbed The experience of the previous two games and "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" tells everyone that they can not only make an excellent Spider-Man game as long as there is enough time, but also make a perfect Spider-Man game. The story of "Spider-Man 2" continues Sony's game success formula is the combination of "one old and one young", with Peter and Miles as the protagonists together. In the game, players can switch between Peter and Miles at any time like in "GTA5" . Similarly, some games The content is that only designated characters can be played. After the story of the last two episodes, Peter has a hole in his heart because of Aunt May, and he still has to be Spider-Man every day. He is so poor that his clothes have holes in his pants, and he has to carry an extra burden. Loan (Loan) Miles, whose father died in the last episode, looks like he died every day. As a high school student, he also feels that the future is bleak. At this time, Craven leads the hunters to invade New York , and how does Peter balance life? And what about the responsibilities of being Spider-Man? "Spider-Man 2" uses a story that is close to the ground and easy for two generations to find resonance. In addition, the expressions, movements, and hair of the characters in the cutscenes are also very delicate and vivid, and they will be added to the main line. In some special interactive links, you can actually ride a bicycle and go to the amusement park in Spider-Man. These elements make the game very immersive. Later, because there were too many crises in the story, they really didn’t have time to pay attention to those in the middle period. Don’t worry about the real worries in life , there will be no dull moments in the plot and there will be surprises again and again. Craven, who appears in this episode, is also full of villain charm. But when it comes to the villain in this episode, I believe the one everyone wants to see is Venom. "Spider-Man 2" takes about 40 hours to complete the game 100%. We can still explore this Marvel version of New York. In the previous game, we could only play in Manhattan. This episode has been added to the Brooklyn and Queens games . Attractions in these areas have also been added, such as a copycat version of Luna Park, as well as classic scenes such as Peter and Miles' respective middle schools. However, everyone knows that the selling point of this game is not to explore the game map. It is simply used as a story background and movement time. Therefore, the new map brings little impact to the game. At most, it is just called Peter and Miles. Both finally have a home. The details of the New York streets in this episode have also increased. There are more changes in the rooftops of the buildings, and there are more streets. The traffic queues on the road have also become longer , making New York visually richer, more lively, prosperous and energetic. In a game where 90% of players don't look carefully at the ground, these changes are particularly thoughtful in "Spider-Man 2" "It is also the game with the best visual performance on PS5. In "Fidelity Mode", "Spider-Man 2" can maintain 4K resolution and light and shadow tracking while enjoying a stable 30fps. The plot is really first-class. This game is also my best so far. The only " Performance Mode" that can accept 60fps of PS5 games completed in "Fidelity Mode ", although it only has a resolution of 1080p , it retains simplified light and shadow tracking, and with this extremely fast swing, it looks even smoother. Skating has a sense of speed. When it comes to swinging, we have actually perfected it in the last episode. It is very enjoyable to swing, but you have to start at a slower speed before each swing. In this episode, we added this big slingshot in place. It allows everyone to start swinging at a faster speed. As long as you have sex, you can start at any time. In the previous episode, it was difficult to swing when there were no buildings around because the spider silk had to be connected to something, so I added it in this episode. With the hang glider , you can maintain speed in an empty place, and you won't have to land, which also allows you to have more changes when moving . There are also wind tunnels throughout New York that allow you to move long distances like entering an acceleration track. "Spider-Man" 2》Allows you to maintain this speed and at the same time, the scenery in the game still has enough details. Flying over New York with real-time calculation in an instant is really an impactful visual experience. The swinging gameplay in the first episode is really hard to let go fast at times. Travel is a compliment , but when it comes to this episode, I am very willing to fast travel , and this is also a compliment, because the fast travel in this episode is really fast. Just press the map screen and arrive at the destination in one second. And this time The density of teleport points in the game is so high that there is no need to mark the location of teleport points for you on the game map. You can just point and click to reach the place you want. After teleporting, it will start directly in mid-air. Your restart on the ground gives players a smooth and seamless experience. This may be the most "next-generation" feature I have seen in recent years. In terms of combat, "Spider-Man 2" starts from the excellent combat of the first generation and the previous episode "Miles". The garbage combat gameplay absorbed their advantages and improved the shortcomings to create a more intense and exciting combat gameplay. Fortunately, the enemies this time are not like the previous episode where you have to rely on skills to break through the defense. They are so mentally retarded , but the enemies are on normal difficulty. The threat of attacks is not small. This episode has added some new enemies. They all have attacks that cannot be avoided and can only be defended. For example, this double-sword turkey or the big guy who can hardly make a breakthrough without defensive counterattacks. So this time we You can't keep pressing to dodge and you have to respond to the enemy's attacks more accurately so that your combos won't be interrupted. Facing stronger enemies, Spider-Man's combat effectiveness has also improved. Peter has now caught up with the gameplay of the previous episode. The configuration has been changed to four skills and four props. The four steel claws in the movie version have now become Peter's standard equipment . As the plot progresses, the game will also unlock the poisonous skill... After being poisoned, Peter can Once the skills are replaced with poisonous skills, you really can’t go back XD because those skills have a large range and high attack power, and they are very wild. When used, it feels like dominating the battlefield. The poisonous skills also have special effects during boss battles. This detail was really carefully performed . Miles will also unlock the blue lightning skill along with the plot for players to replace. In the last episode, I used to hate that they cut the episode from eight to four, but in this episode, there is no problem at all. Because the abilities of the four props in this episode are very cool and they match well with Spider-Man’s skills. They can be used with the props to create skills and combos, and they are also very useful for bosses . As for stealth, there are not too many changes compared to the previous episode. Two Spider-Man They usually pull enemies up from high places to hang wax ducks , but this episode adds a key new ability, which is that you can use spider silk to create a walkway in the scene , so that Spider-Man can have a high place to hide no matter where he is . This ability is really too strong, so in this episode if the enemy finds a corpse or you use continuous noise making , the enemy will start to alert Spider-Man and start to look up to high places. The elevation angle of the sight will not be 0 like in previous episodes. Spider-Man is not necessarily safe even at high places. Just like in the previous episode, there will be many special battles during the main plot. Do you remember that time when you used MJ to fight? You could only shout Peter for help. This time, MJ can do it himself with a gun. The combat power is so high that even Spider-Man would be ashamed of it. The chase part is also indispensable. There are some very shocking battle plots in the main line of the game. But let me leave the surprises to everyone to discover for themselves. The main line is important, but the game is open to play. Of course, the world needs to have some branch plots to play in . To be honest, the branch plots were the most failed part of the last two episodes of "Spider-Man" because there were several branch plots in the last two episodes, all with different names. The result is that they all require you to go back and forth. Going to the same building site to fight the same trash fish, but the trash fish changed its skin and came to "Spider-Man 2". Insomniac Games finally figured it out. This time, the branch line adopted the "less food, more flavor" method, isn't it? Let everyone attack the stronghold until they vomit Instead, it enriches the types of side activities, such as chasing drones, doing scientific research, and doing a little bit of electrician. It sounds very ordinary , but the side activities of this game are special. Each side activity can only be done about six times . The content duplication of those six times does not count as an example of the Foundation branch . There are very few repetitions in the six missions. From riding a bicycle, repairing water pipes, playing with drones to fighting, every branch is included. The story and dialogue are also different , that is, before the players start to feel bored, the entire side mission series has been completed. Although it doesn’t matter whether you do the random events on the streets that are almost the same as in the previous episode, you will have the opportunity to do them when you participate in those events in this episode. Meeting another Spider-Man is not very useful, but the sense of immersion is created in such small things. The stronghold raiding mission that was the most enjoyable in the previous episodes, and at the same time the most difficult and painful, has become less popular this time. Many players in the previous episode Instead of having to fight nineteen identical large strongholds, players are now required to fight two or three small strongholds that can be solved quickly , and then they will unlock large strongholds with more enemies and more unique scene designs. There are only a few of them in the whole game , and each big stronghold has a story. This time, it can be seen that the manufacturer does not want to fill the map with boring branches , but would rather reduce the number of branches and make each branch more detailed so that each The branch lines can have many changes and new types of branches are unlocked point by point as the game progresses to guide players to slowly enjoy the game. In addition to the branch lines, Spider-Man's new skills and new appearance are also slowly unlocked and even played at a comfortable pace. New enemies will appear until the final stage , allowing players to maintain a fresh feeling during the game and play the entire process happily. It will continue to create surprises for players in the main line and branch lines. This is what makes "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" feel " The key to "Amazing" everyone... Do you understand my joke? "Amazing"!! "Amazing Spider-Man"!! Therefore, if "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" has five stars as the highest rating, I will give 0 volts to "Marvel's Spider-Man" "Spider-Man 2" may not be as shocking as "Tears of the Kingdom", "Baldur's Gate 3", "Batman: Arkham Knight" and other works , but it is still a highly completed game that can meet players' expectations. At the very least, it’s really hard for you to count his shortcomings. The most you can say is that he doesn’t suit your taste, and that he’s not unprecedented or unprecedented. It’s just that his faults are completely unavailable to you. In this dark age, let’s not talk about whether games are gods or not . If you are a PS5 user, I definitely recommend you to buy this game . I also hope that they will not spin off the DLC and sell it again like last time . Now I will be more worried about them. How to launch the next episode because "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" is a complete game , but there is no creativity compared to the previous episode. When you have done everything Spider-Man would do in this episode, will the next episode have new skills and new villains? Well... Oops, it seems that the map has beaten all superhero movies. As for whether it is worth buying a PS5 for it... In fact, the last two episodes of "Marvel's Spider-Man" were already released on steam last year, and the performance is even better than The PS5 version is good. If you have a good PC at home, maybe you should consider waiting. Okay, the video is here. I still want to thank everyone who watched the video to the end. I rely on your help CLS . Special thanks to YT guys, Patreon boss also provides media trial version of Playstation HK in advance. Bye Bye in our next video.
