Insomniac Games has come under fire from fans of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for inaccurately depicting a significant detail in the game. Despite being released less than a week ago, the game has faced various criticisms from numerous sources. Players have voiced their concerns about the game's focus on mundane tasks and its lengthened playtime through repetitive activities necessary for earning trophies and achievements. While some of the negative feedback may be exaggerated, many feel that these are valid points that the developers should address.
Although it is common for newly released games to have issues that require patching and updates, players still expect a polished experience. Unfortunately, there have been some errors that have led to a negative perception of the game. For example, some players have encountered difficulties when trying to install their physical copies of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on their PS5. While this issue seems to only affect a subset of users, Insomniac has urged players to report any bugs or glitches they come across. Additionally, a visual error may have been discovered by a Twitter user, potentially indicating an oversight by the graphics team.
Twitter user JAAY_Rock_ has pointed out that there is a Cuban flag displayed in Miles Morales' home, even though his Mother is actually from Puerto Rico. Many fans find this oversight slightly offensive and lazy, considering that the game features a Puerto Rican Spider-Man costume with the correct colors. While some fans are making light jokes about the issue, James Stevenson, the director of Community and Marketing at Insomniac, has acknowledged the concern and assured fans that the team is working on a fix. Although there are more pressing bugs and glitches in the game, the controversy surrounding race representation calls for the flag image to be prioritized. Nationality is an important aspect of Miles Morales' character, and fans are surprised that the developers made this mistake.
Despite the negative press and numerous bugs and glitches, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has received outstanding reviews. Insomniac has created a remarkable masterpiece that clearly reflects the passion they have poured into the game. It is hoped that the development team will address the reported issues. While these problems are not game-breaking, many of them could be easily resolved if the developers listen to the feedback from the community. Ideally, the upcoming patch should address some of the initial concerns raised by the fans. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 can now be enjoyed on PS5.
