FAQS
Answers to common Marvel's Spider-Man questions, including Arkham comparison, New Game Plus, and swinging mechanics.
Is this just Spider-Man Arkham Asylum?
Marvel's Spider-Man is considered the ultimate Spider-Man game, much like the Arkham series revolutionized Batman games. While combat involves dodging, it's best to proactively eliminate enemies rather than waiting for their attacks, as this can lead to missed opportunities.
Does the game have a New Game + feature?
At its release, Marvel's Spider-Man does not include a New Game + feature. However, a patch is expected soon that will add this functionality.
How is the swinging mechanic?
The swinging mechanic in Marvel's Spider-Man is very fun and intuitive. You use R2 to swing by holding the button, releasing it, and then holding it again.
What suits are in the game?
For a description of each suit, its unique power, and available suit mods (customization options), please refer to the Suits section of the game.
Tips
Proactively attack enemies in Marvel's Spider-Man rather than solely relying on dodging their attacks.
