Insomniac’s Spider-Man was a smash hit when it was 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 owe it to yourself to get it ASAP. With improved movement options and the ability to play as Miles or Peter, it’s the best gameplay the series has seen yet.Right now, Spider-Man 2 is roughly half off for Cyber Monday at Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, so jump on this opportunity before it swings right by you.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5) for $39Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5)7What 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 Cyber Monday Deals We’ve FoundFor more PlayStation deals, check out our hub for the best PS5 game deals.
