Marvel Spider-Man 2 excels in many ways. However, there are some problems with content in the open world. While the backpack collection is fun, the landmarks and research labs are a bit divisive. In addition, most fans feel that random crime tasks are too repetitive, which is a problem that Marvel Spider-Man 2 should improve and solve.
While Marvel Spider-Man: Miles Morales perfectly cuts the open-world content of the original, players will definitely expect a full sequel. Random crime missions are also the focus of the Marvel Spider-Man experience because they can make players feel like a good neighbor-type superhero. Therefore, Insomniac needs to make sure that this content is interesting and not tedious and boring with a lot of repetition.
In Marvel Spider-Man 2, one way to improve random crime missions is to reduce the frequency of occurrences. In the original game, these random crime missions seemed endless, and some criminal acts may occur on the way to the mission objectives. After completing a criminal activity, the player will see another criminal activity appear immediately, and there is no time to slow down in successive criminal activities.
Eventually, most players will start ignoring these quests, choosing to continue advancing the main storyline of the game or playing side content. Players who want to achieve 100% completion in the game have to deal with some random crimes in each area, which means that the process of holding the Platinum Cup can be very boring and boring, and players will waste hours in random crime missions. To make matters worse, some players will feel that the Spider-Man they play is terrible because they choose to ignore the crime, which is not a good superhero.
Insomniac needs to take a different approach to optimizing and improving criminal tasks, and one of the solutions is not to let it affect the 100% completion rate. This way, players can ignore them without any consequences and skip many of the same car chase battles so they can focus on other interesting content. In addition, adding the option to disable random criminal activity would be very welcome.
In addition to this, Insomniac should further expand the types of random crimes. In the original game, the player would constantly complete QTE on the car or stop the robbery, and the flying car needed more different ways to play. Learning from earlier games is a good start, and Peter Parker and Miles Morales are tasked with rescuing civilians from burning buildings or taking injured people to hospitals before the end of time.
Unprovoked crime has always been the key to a good Spider-Man story, and Spider-Man will also reach out when others need help. In the sequel, the player should be interested in each random crime mission. The number of missions should also be rare enough so that it doesn't damage the game experience and increases the player's sense of substitution for Spider-Man. Marvel Spider-Man 2 is expected to land on PS5 in 2023.
