Is Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 Going to be the Best Superhero Game of All Time?

Spider-Man 2 is gearing up for its launch next month. From the early details, the game looks promising. Its 2018 predecessor was a smash hit on both PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. Now, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks to carry on the legacy and make its mark on the community after its release on October 20th. Ryan Smith, Insomniac Games Director, has shed light on the potential play-time of Spider-Man 2 recently.

From what we know, it looks like devs Insomniac is looking to make a spectacle out of their next release. With the available details till now, Spider-Man 2 is already giving hints at becoming one of the most successful releases of all time, and many industry insiders are also convinced about its market performance.

Speculations on play-time and the main villain of Spider-Man2

In a recent interview, Smith mentioned that Spider-Man 2 will also have a play-time roughly similar to Marvel’s Spider-Man. If that is true, we expect somewhere around 17 hours of run-time for the upcoming release as well. However, perfectionists and completionists may take much longer, if not double the time, to finish every quest and mission of the game and achieve 100% completion. Gamescom host Geoff Keighley recently shared his thoughts on the game after having early access. Keighley believes Spider-Man 2 “may end up as the best superhero video game of all time.”

Along with its run-time, the devs have also sparked several rumors about the game’s potential main villains. While we expect cult baddies like Kraven the Hunter and Venom to make an appearance in Spider-Man 2, trying to take over New York City. Still, there is no concrete knowledge as to who will be the main boss that Spidey will need to take down.

While other villains are obviously going to make life miserable for the wall-crawling superhero, some fans speculate we may get to see Peter in a symbiote suit being the ultimate foe of Spider-Man.

More in-game features

While Spider-Man 2’s main characters are being highly debated by the community, there are also other features in Spider-Man 2 that have caught the attention of fans. The devs have claimed that some features like slowed-down combat will play a pivotal role in immersion. For players who feel Spider-Man games are too action-centric, can choose to slow down in-game actions in order to enjoy the game’s breathtaking stunts.

More industry insiders believe that Spider-Man 2 will perform excellently in the market after its release and we are inclined to believe so. The early visuals look stunning, and the gameplay and combat actions feel authentic. Now, we wait for the game to finally arrive and try it out for ourselves to make the final decision.
