In many ways, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is as much a distillation and refinement of the franchise’s initial installment as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was. Of course, the sequel was always going to be a big blockbuster bursting at the seams due to having two individual Spider-Men as playable characters. But what Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 achieves is what all sequels should strive for, and that’s making gameplay improvements that are so much better that going back to the original game inevitably and unfairly feels relatively inferior.
