The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Conquer the Platinum Trophy in Record Time!

Highlights

One gamer achieved the Platinum Trophy for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in just 30 hours, sparking discussions among fans about the game's potential length.

Shortening the length of a game does not necessarily guarantee its quality, as there are players who actually prefer shorter, more concentrated experiences.

The emphasis that developer Insomniac has placed on combat and enhancing the overall gameplay experience in Spider-Man 2 has caused a wave of excitement among fans. This suggests that the game's length won't be a major issue as long as it fulfills its promises.

A gamer recently shared their achievement of earning the Platinum Trophy for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which has caused some dissatisfaction among fans due to the short amount of time it took them. Surprisingly, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has not been released for purchase yet, suggesting that this particular gamer somehow acquired an early copy of the game. Not only did they manage to play it, but they also completed nearly every available task and objective within the game.

PlayStation trophies serve as digital badges that players can earn by accomplishing specific tasks in a game. While some trophies can be obtained by simply progressing through the main storyline, earning a Platinum Trophy usually requires completing the majority, if not all, of the sidequests and collecting all the unlockable content. This achievement is often seen as a source of pride for gamers, and some PlayStation trophies that demand a significant time investment can have players tirelessly grinding for dozens of hours.

One player, ChrisGaming95, recently announced on social media that they have already achieved the Platinum Trophy for the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Surprisingly, they claim to have accomplished this feat in just 30 hours, sparking a debate among fans regarding the game's length. Until this point, gamers had no idea about the amount of content packed into the game, with the only clue being a leaked file size months ago.

To put things into perspective, it typically takes around 35 hours to earn the Platinum Trophy in Marvel's Spider-Man, while Spider-Man: Miles Morales requires closer to 18 hours. Some commenters have pointed out that ChrisGaming95 tends to complete games faster than most, citing their impressive speed in achieving the Platinum Trophy for God of War Ragnarok. As a result, fans have split opinions on the matter. Some believe that the game should surpass the original and offer more, while others argue that 30 hours is already a sufficient duration.

The rising prices of games in recent years have sparked a discussion about the expectation of gamers to receive a substantial amount of content for their investment. However, it should be noted that the length of a game does not necessarily determine its quality. Simply filling games with meaningless side content is not the solution. Additionally, certain genres, such as RPGs, are known for their lengthy campaigns, while others, like cinematic action-adventure titles, do not follow the same trend. For instance, Persona games typically last anywhere from 30 to over 100 hours, but this is not the case for games like Insomniac's Spider-Man series.

Insomniac, the developer behind the Spider-Man series, appears to be addressing some combat and quality-of-life issues in the upcoming sequel, much to the excitement of fans. A comparison video between Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales showcases faster traversal mechanics, allowing players to move across New York City in half the time. Ultimately, if the game lives up to its impressive visuals, players are unlikely to complain about the length of the campaign.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases October 20 on PS5.
