It took three years for a game to live up to the expectations set for the PS5, but Spider-Man 2 finally shows us what the console is capable of.
When Sony set out to highlight the power of the PS5 and its SSD, it did so with a modified version of Marvel’s Spider-Man. We were treated to a flythrough of the city from end to end at speeds greater than even our web-slinging hero could hope to match without a hiccup or drop in graphical quality. That makes it fitting that the first game that feels like it fully lives up to the promises the PS5 was sold on is none other than Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Recommended Videos Tipping the scale The opening moments of Spider-Man 2 are a clear example of Insomniac showing off exactly how talented its team is. You can expect most games to open with some sort of set piece or grand moment to make a strong first impression and hook you in, but Spider-Man 2 goes above and beyond. Its initial villain encounter shows off a sense of scale almost unheard of at this level of visual fidelity, but that alone isn’t unique.
Insomniac even builds on some of its impressive tech first introduced in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. In one set-piece, a mind-bending chase scene in which players instantly jump from location to location in a silky smooth flow, sees the team flexing its mastery over the PS5’s lightning-fast SSD. That it’s so casually dropped in the middle of a story like it’s no big deal speaks to the power on display here.
