| Skills & Progression | |
|
The game features a deep, permanent RPG progression system with no forced wipes. Players choose from four classes (Sledge, Pyro, Phantom, and one unrevealed) and customize them via an extensive, Path of Exile-inspired skill tree with over 100 talents. These talents are mechanics-based (e.g., faster looting, new weapon options like a shotgun for Sledge) rather than raw stat increases, ensuring a level playing field. Progression is persistent, but all players spawn into a match with a basic, blank-slate loadout. |

| public World & Exploration | |
| World & Level Design | |
|
The game features multiple, large-scale maps. Gameplay is session-based, with a limited time for each incursion. The environment is dynamic and reactive, with shifting weather, unstable geometry, and hazards. The world is populated by AI factions and hostile creatures, creating a dense PvPvE experience. |
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. |

The game is a persistent online PvPvE extraction shooter. Players can queue for 'Expeditions' solo or in squads of up to four. The core loop is divided into two phases: a resource-gathering first phase and a high-conflict second phase where players can choose an early, safe extraction or fight for the final, high-value 'Vertex' prize at the main helicopter extraction. |
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a purely single-player experience. There are no multiplayer modes. |
