Fans believe that the failure of Spider-Man 2 on TGA is associated with a safe approach when creating a game
Spider-Man 2 was highly appreciated after the PS5 technical capabilities were demonstrated in the game, so the fans of this Marvel character received a lot of pleasure. Due to many positive reviews and 5 million copies sold, the last game Insomniac was on the list of seven nominees on The Game Awards 2023. To universal surprise, the game failed in all nominations. And although this upset this, most fans now agree that Insomniac was too reinsured when creating a sequel.
If you fluently study various topics on Reddit, then in the best comments you can find criticism of how safe the Insomniac approached the creation of Spider-Man 2.Although new mechanics appeared in this game, including instant shift between the characters, a large card with the open world and Venom, most of them have already been implemented in past games. In addition, the game was criticized for an unexpected large number of mistakes, saying that the release took place too quickly. Studying the comments, we can say that fans began to evaluate the game more clearly after the excitement associated with its exit.
Some claim that Spider-Man 2 should not be nominated for "The game of the year" And "The best narrative", And instead of it, a more unusual game, for example, Lies of P, was to participate in this nomination. However, fans noted the similar structure of the story between two games about Spider-Man. And since the first game of Insomniac praised that she practically returned the hero to the game industry, it seems that the studio was glad to offer a similar approach for the second time.However, this failure gave rise to the hope that Insomniac would not disappoint the third game. The great potential of this game has not yet been disclosed, so fans hope that Spider-Man 3 will become a worthy completion of an excellent trilogy.
Despite all the criticism, Spider-Man 2 is still one of the most successful games of this year. The game in the blink of an eye became a bestseller of October, giving joy to millions of fans around the world.
