Feb 9, 2025Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC is currently a bittersweet experience. The base game is exceptional, with an engaging narrative and polished gameplay, but technical issues are too frequent to ignore. Even with powerful hardware like our setup, the experience is far from optimal.

Apr 8, 2025Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 disappoints in its long-awaited debut on PC, delivering an adventure that falls short of the expectations created since its launch on PS5. As fun as the sequel to the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales is, the poor work of adaptation to the new platform prevents a broader recommendation until its most basic problems are resolved and the performance delivered is within expectations for different hardware configurations.

Feb 27, 2025Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a good game stuck in a package that is far from ideal. Visual artifacts and a few crashes still remain even after three patches, and the game can feel less than optimized when the frame rate drops on powerful hardware. If you're willing to wait just a little longer or are the patient and forgiving type, you'll be rewarded with a safe sequel that can still satisfy fans of the Insomniac-developed games. This title also gets fans primed for the eventual finale what is almost certainly a trilogy. However, this release serves as a warning that Sony and its studios need to do some real work to ensure future game releases are stable from day one, or else they'll lose the PC audience that is crucial to funding future endeavors.

Feb 5, 2025Spider-Man 2 has already reached the PC, but in addition to new enemies, it also faces technical problems.

Feb 9, 2025If you missed Spider-Man 2 on PS5, the PC version will be a great way to experience it, just not yet. I just wish Sony would learn from their mistakes and stop these sorts of releases from happening, but sadly their PC port rollercoaster just keeps on rolling.

Feb 5, 2025Players keen to continue Peter and Miles’ story on PC should hold out a little longer and wait for some patches, as it’s hard to recommend Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC in its current state. It's marred by a multitude of bugs that completely take away from the game’s brilliant story and excellent gameplay.
-
Feb 4, 2025Eventually, Spider-Man 2's PC port will be fixed to the point that it will rival or arguably exceed the PS5 version, especially for those with more powerful rigs that can push the game to its graphical and performance limits. At launch, though, Spider-Man 2 on PC falls well short of expectations. The core gameplay is still a blast, and it's still one of the best superhero adventures in gaming, but the crashes are too problematic to ignore.

Feb 6, 2025Toothless writing, old-fashioned open world design, and ropey port work undermine what should be a thrilling cinematic adventure.

Feb 21, 2025A cautious bet on a superhero formula that could have been genuinely entertaining thanks to solid gameplay craftsmanship. However, the technical state of the PC port is abysmal, leaving the game fundamentally broken on the platform in its current state.

Apr 2, 2025Marvel's Spider-Man 2 needs adjustments, some sooner than others. And while it remains a graphical powerhouse, until more patches arrive to stabilize everything the game brings to the table, it is still not recommended to play it. [Not Recommended]

Feb 5, 2025In our experience, you’re not relying too heavily on dynamic resolutions and upscaling to high the graphics presets provided by Sony, but there’s plenty of scope to tweak settings and apply some upscaling to get core ray tracing features and a solid 60fps performance that matches or betters the game on PS5. All in all, Spider-Man 2 on PC has proven to be a reliable performer in both of our use cases.
