“Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” matches a somewhat familiar story to a pristine superhero gameplay experience.
Balancing everyday New York life with Spider-Man responsibilities remains a challenge for Miles Morales, left, and Peter Parker in "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" for the PlayStation 5. The challenge of adapting popular superhero stories is that you risk retreading familiar territory.
The 2018 game set the stage: Parker’s childhood best friend Harry Osborn was under cancer treatment for two years. He’s now re-emerged, healthier than ever after mysterious circumstances. Legendary big game hunter Kraven invades New York City to hunt its heroes and villains. On top of that, the black alien goo that would eventually become Spidey’s archnemesis Venom is finally introduced into the Insomniac storyline.
Harry, played by “Riverdale” actor Graham Phillips, is especially magnetic as the likable and spiritually fragile best friend. There are many scenes where he rekindles his old friendships, and Insomniac uses these moments to create a video game superhero experience that goes beyond punching bad guys. Some sequences evoke the whimsy of Wes Anderson films, complete with a strumming, alt-folk soundtrack with men singing in whisper.
Now on its third game, Insomniac is executing a formula that doesn’t feel quite as fresh as 2018, but it’s one that’s still exciting as it is solid. Even if the story felt familiar, its threads point to more exciting ideas in the future. And because it supplants the first two games in play, “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” is easily the most fun superhero game ever made. In this case, the familiar is most welcome.
