Insomniac’s Spider-Man was a smash hit when it first released in 2018, and 2023’s Spider-Man 2, starring Miles Morales as the playable Spidey protagonist, was no different. If you haven’t played it, you absolutely owe it to yourself to get in on it ASAP. With improved movement options and the ability to play as Miles or Peter, it’s the best the gameplay the series has seen yet.Right now, Spider-Man 2 is over half off at Walmart for its Black Friday Sale. Walmart+ members grab it for just $30 right now (sign up here for half price), but if you aren’t a member and don’t plan on signing up, you can score this price at 5pm ET… assuming there are any left. Good luck!Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5) for $30Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5)0The Walmart deal is active now for Walmart+ members, and 5pm ET for everyoneAmazon had the same deal earlier, but stocks ran out. These might get reupped, but I wouldn’t count on it. Should You Sign Up for Walmart+?Even though Walmart’s first wave of Black Friday offers had a 50% discount on a 12-month Walmart+ membership, and a subscription gives you early access to deals that might be out by the time it opens up to everyone else, it’s still probably not worth signing up just for a single deal. Instead, figure out how much you will actually get and save during this event, then consider whether early access to Walmart’s deals or the other 12-month membership benefits are appealing enough. The more you are gonna grab, the sweeter the deal.Walmart+ 12-Month Membership8Get early access to Walmart’s Black Friday sale, starting November 25 at 12pm ET.What We Said in Our ReviewIn our 8/10 review of Spider-Man 2, we said, “As a sequel in a spectacular series, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is both blessed and cursed. Its story of two Spider-Men is a great time and a Spidey fan’s dream to play through as comic book pages are brought to life, elegantly walking the tightrope between light humour and heavier themes. Meanwhile, Insomniac refines a successful formula of combat and web-swinging without revolutionising either in major ways, making them comfy and familiar with just enough new tweaks and abilities to elevate them to fun new heights.”The part that feels like it actually needed a radical rethinking is the open world of New York City, which has been made bigger but not better, with an exhausting checklist of mostly repetitious side activities. But it’s safe to call this another thrilling Spider-Man adventure that delivers Insomniac’s best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, it’s a reliably fun superhero power trip. And, you know what? Screw it. It really did make me feel like Spider-Man, too.”More PlayStation Black Friday Deals We’ve FoundFor more PlayStation deals, check out our hub for the best PS5 game deals.
