Scroll down and continue reading to find out our Spider-Man 2 tips and tricks, so you can easily maneuver with your spider web through this exciting new release!
#1 Master the Parry
In Spider-Man 2, parrying is a new crucial skill to use in the combat system. It makes the game more engaging because you have to pay more attention while fighting crime and villains. You can keep an eye on the spider-sense color indicator above your enemies’ heads, and when it changes to red, hit the L1 button. Being patient and waiting for the perfect moment is crucial for parrying, particularly in tough boss battles.
#2 Unlock and Zip Around with Fast Travel

Unlocking fast travel is a big relief in Spider-Man 2, and somehow it’s a real time-saver. You can activate it after finishing a certain number of quests in an area. Keep an eye on your district meter to see how close you are to unlocking it. Once it’s available, all you have to do is put your cursor on the map, hold down the triangle button, and you’ll swing away to your chosen spot almost instantly. But honestly, you’re Spider-Man, why would you want to fast-travel when you can swing all around New York City? Maybe when it is urgent then you need to have it!
#3 All About Using the Web
There are various things you can do with Spider-Man’s webs in Spider-Man 2. Here are the uses for the web:
- Disarm Enemies with Web Whip: Use the Web Whip skill to take away weapons from your enemies, which can help you in combat. It’s a smart move to use it strategically.
- Use Web Grabbers: Web Grabbers can change the game for you. They bring enemies together, making them easy targets for area attacks. So, make sure to use this when you’re in a crowded battle. It will be a more effective attack.

- Spread Your Web Wings: To go faster with your web wings, remember to use them along with other moves. Start by swinging up high on a skyscraper, then swoop down and use your wingsuit to catch speed. Shoot some webs to swing back up and do it again.
- Using Web Shooters for Healing:Â Make good use of the Web Shooters to heal yourself. They generate focus and can be improved to heal you with each shot. Use them for defense, particularly in tough boss battles.
#4 Check Out the Accessibility Options
The experience of playing Spider-Man 2 can be adapted based on what you want and what you need. You must not forget to check out its accessibility settings, which include:
- Choosing Difficulty Options: When you start the game, you will see four difficulty options. These options are Friendly Neighborhood (very easy), Friendly (easy), Amazing (normal), Spectacular (hard), and Ultimate (very hard). You’ll unlock a fifth one after finishing the main story.

- Choosing Graphics Mode: Picking the best graphics mode in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 depends on your preferences and your TV or monitor. If it’s not 4K, go for Performance for smoother gameplay. If you have a 4K screen, choose between Fidelity for better graphics or Performance for more frames. If you can, use 120 Hz Display Mode for even smoother and responsive play. Important to note that high-contrast mode is best for clearer visuals.
- Motion Sensitivity: This is an option to turn off camera shakes.
- Autocomplete: This option is used for quick-time events.
Insomniac plans to add more accessibility options to the game, like a screen reader, before the end of the year.
