Skills & Progression | |
Progression is tied to exploration and combat. Players can upgrade a variety of melee weapons (swords, spears, axes) and the companion drone, KAPI, with different abilities. Weapon upgrades are uniquely tied to 'emotions' like grief or rage, which also manifest as elements in the world. |

public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game features a semi-open world with no loading screens between its various hubs and zones. These include war-torn cities, forests, underground crypts, and ancient temples, all visually inspired by late 1990s conflicts in Eastern Europe. |
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features an expanded open-world New York City, roughly twice the size of the map in the first game. It includes all of Manhattan from the previous titles, plus two new boroughs: Queens (Peter's home borough, featuring residential areas like Astoria) and Brooklyn (Miles' home borough, featuring areas like Williamsburg and Coney Island). The map is incredibly detailed, with seamless transitions between boroughs via bridges or web-swinging/gliding. Traversal is significantly enhanced with the addition of Web Wings for gliding and Slingshot Launch for rapid forward momentum. |
