Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brought even MORE iconic villains, even HIGHER stakes, and a deeper story that pushed both of our friendly neighborhood protagonists to their mental and physical limits… and in a proper sequel, that is what we should expect. I mean, who picks up the next game in a series and expects it to be easier? Sure, our main characters are stronger and have grown in their skills and capabilities, but this ALSO tends to draw even MORE challenging enemies out of the woodwork. And for characters like Peter and Miles, one has to wonder what else could they possibly lose after enduring so much pain in their young lives already? And the unfortunate answer for both of them is that those early struggles were just the beginning… because with great sequels comes even greater responsibility.
