Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a bigger game than its two predecessors which is saying a lot. Still, it’s not an epic hundred-plus-hour game like Persona 5. Dedicated players can easily beat the core experience in a weekend and tackle the additional content in about a week. That’s not a bad thing but it could leave some players wanting more.

Spider-Man 2: How Long to Beat and Get the Platinum Trophy

Here's about how long it will take most people to beat Marvel's Spider-Man 2's main story and unlock the Platinum trophy.

For those wishing to take on something similar after beating Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, these eight games are great choices. The recommendations follow a pattern from offering more superhero games to experiences with multiple protagonists to just open-world adventures with breathtaking traversal abilities. There is something here for everyone.

Updated on February 24, 2024 by Ritwik Mitra: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the greatest superhero video games of all time. The title does things bigger and better than its predecessor in every way imaginable. Insomniac Games has achieved something special with this masterpiece, and it's easy to see why fans would want to check out more titles in the same vein. Thankfully, players will be spoiled for choice in this regard, and as such, we've added a few more games to this list to keep players starved for more Spider-Man action entertained.

11 Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy

A Well-Written Intergalactic Adventure Featuring A Cast Of Likable Heroes

After the disappointment that was Marvel's Avengers, no one expected Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy to be a worthwhile superhero game. So, fans were pleasantly surprised to see just how well-written and engaging this game is.

Some players would go so far as to say that this is the best use of the Guardians of the Galaxy IP across any entertainment medium, which is huge praise considering the success of James Gunn's MCU trilogy. While initial sales for the game were slow, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy enjoyed enough word-of-mouth to see high sales over the course of its lifespan.

10 Hogwarts Legacy

Engaging In Familiar Combat With A Magical Twist Makes For A Great Time

It's easy to see why Hogwarts Legacy is 2023's highest-selling video game, breaking the stranglehold that Call of Duty had over this annual achievement. The Harry Potter IP is as valuable as they come, and it helps that this game lets players enjoy the fantasy of being a fun magical adventure set in the magical Wizarding World.

The amount of detail put in to Hogwarts and the Scottish Highlands is impressive, even if the open-world checklist can be rather uninspiring at times. Still, the game's excellent combat and adherence to the source material make it worth checking out for any fan of fun open-world games, and especially for fans of Harry Potter.

9 Sunset Overdrive

A Fun, Colorful Game With Shades Of Spider-Man's Energetic Traversal

Sunset Overdrive is the game that proved to Sony that Insomniac was the perfect studio to handle the Spider-Man IP. The game's incessant charm and fun traversal still hold up to this day, and they are blatant precursors to what would eventually become Spider-Man's mechanics.

Game developers sometimes strike out, but their redemption stories can restore fans' faith in their creations.

Players who want to check out what Insomniac was up to before becoming a PlayStation darling will love Sunset Overdrive. It's a wild joyride that never lets up, combining fun traversal, wild combat, and a brightly-colored world to great effect.

8 Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Parkouring Around Victorian London And Dismantling Gangs Is A Blast

Assassin's Creed Syndicate was the first game in the series to offer dual protagonists. The game took place during the Industrial Revolution phase of England’s history. Siblings Jacob and Evie Frye were recruited into the Brotherhood to help stop the revolution from being spoiled by the Templars.

The dual protagonist angle would appeal to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans but so would the gadgets. For example, there was a grappling hook that helped the siblings get around rooftops faster.

7 Attack On Titan

The ODM Gear Is A Blast As Players Swing Around And Slice Titans To Bits

This game is the closest anyone can get to a Spider-Man experience without actually playing any of the numerous adaptations. Attack on Titan was a 2016 game that mostly followed the first two seasons of the anime.

Players assumed the role mostly of Eren, the Survey Corps cadet who could also transform into a Titan in certain intervals. The speed players could reach using the series’ patented ODM Gear was incredible. Chopping down Titans was exhilarating and scary because they could take down players with the swipe of a hand.

6 Disney Infinity 2.0

A Game Where Players Can Control Disney Marvel Characters, Including Spider-Man

Disney Infinity 2.0 was the sequel that introduced Marvel characters into the toys-to-life universe. There were mainline heroes like Captain America, Spider-Man, and Thor along with underdogs like Nova and Iron Fist. Venom was even playable, which fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 should adore.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2: The 5 Best Suits for Peter (& How to Get Them)

The best suits for Peter in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 celebrate the many different versions of the character and some of his most iconic movie moments.

The PS Vita version of the game actually had a black symbiote suit replicant of Spider-Man which is probably quite rare now as are a lot of these toys. While the game overall was aimed at kids, it could still be a blast to play with a myriad of famous and obscure Marvel characters as an adult.

5 Gotham Knights

Traversal And Old-Fashioned Superhero Action Is A Ton Of Fun

Gotham Knights gave players the choice to play as one of Batman’s four apprentices. There was Nightwing, Robin (the Tim Drake version), Batgirl, and Red Hood. Starting as one changed how the story played out as that character took the lead in conversations.

Once HQ was unlocked, players could swap characters and the nice thing was that players could level up all four characters simultaneously. Doing so would create a disjointed story, but the option was there. None of the characters in the game can match the speed of Peter or Miles in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but traversal is still satisfying in Gotham Knights.

4 InFamous Second Son

An Excellent Superhero Game With Fun Powers And Traversal Mechanics

inFamous Second Son is the last game in the series which launched a few months after the PS4 debuted. It starred a new protagonist, Delsin, who had a different set of powers than Cole from the first two games. Delsin could absorb powers from other gifted individuals.

Players began with the power of smoke which came with an abundance of fire. It was a good superhero game with a sprawling city full of side objectives. PlayStation fans probably already tackled this years ago, but it still deserves a place on the list.

3 Just Cause 4

The Destruction And Ridiculousless Of This Franchise Is Off The Charts

Just Cause 4 is the type of game that should appeal to fans of the angsty version of Peter Parker. While the protagonist of the game, Rico, is not evil, he also doesn’t care about those who get in his way. This series overall can best be described as open-world chaos simulators.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2: The 5 Best Suits for Miles (& How to Get Them)

Many of the best suits for Miles in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 are based on other superheroes or versions of the character from alternate universes.

Players can drive a gas-filled truck into another, jump out, grapple onto a tree to get away from the explosion, and then glide off into the sunset. It should be a refreshing change of pace from all the do-goodery in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

2 Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

A Fun Beat-'Em-Up Game Featuring Beloved Marvel Characters

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is the final obvious superhero plug on the list. It’s a Switch exclusive, but a lot of PlayStation fans probably have multiple consoles anyway. Players start with a small handful of Marvel heroes, but the roster expands quickly from the slash-happy Wolverine to the sophisticated monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone.

It’s a great game to play with three other friends in a multiplayer session like the good old days of couch co-op. It’s a short adventure but one that is infinitely replayable due to the large volume of characters.

1 Yakuza 0

The Combat Is Immensely Satisfying, With Most Thugs Standing No Chance Against Kiryu

Yakuza 0 was not the first game released in the series, but it is the first game chronologically. Players will go through most of the game as the mainstay, Kazuma, as he begins his life as a Yakuza enforcer in the 80s. The other character is his wild rival, Majima, who is a bit too sadistic and odd for words.

The cityscape is small compared to the giant areas in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but that makes Yakuza 0 a more intimate experience. Players will need to beat, pummel, and smash everything and everyone with their fists or whatever else is lying around to get to the top of the Yakuza food pile.
