Gameplay Dynamics/Features

 * The immersive combat system is partially inspired by the Batman: Arkham video games, mixing those dodge and attack elements with web gadgets, parkour, swinging, and great variety in combat, as the combat is what Spider-Man fights like in the comic books. There are two times more web gadgets to unlock, as the skill tree has added two more categories and makes the combat even more engaging than ever
 * The maximum level cap is still 60, but Insomniac Games heard gamers' complaints on how leveling up was a little too casual; Insomniac has made it so that it is harder to level up and takes skill to do so, completing certain objectives, some challenging and some just regular objectives
 * Since the last game tried it's best to capture real-life Manhattan, Insomniac has finally hit it out of the park; the map of Manhattan is entirely accurate, according to some geologists from Manhattan. Insomniac has also made Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Raft, Ryker's Island, and Queens all playable in, wholesomely expanding from the last game; there are more interiors the player can enter (which will be mentioned later in this list)
 * There are a total of 35 (vanilla base) game suits in this game, which players can unlock by gathering tokens, completing crimes, doing side missions, and many other activities. There are more tokens to be unlocked and the challenge in unlocking them makes unlocking suits and abilities very worthwhile
 * Miles has four (vanilla base) game suits in the game
 * Felicia has three (vanilla base) game suit in the game
 * This game continues on the aspect of exploring not just Spider-Man's life, but also that of Peter Parker's, who is now working at Empire State University; the player can go to the Empire State University, the Daily Bugle (to visit Mary Jane), Peter's apartment, as well as change into Peter Parker on the streets whenever necessary (some main missions and side missions require Peter's abilities)
 * Insomniac Games has made it so that players can customize their own unique suit and can mash abilities from other suits and add any color schemes, eye-lids, and in-game advantages they want. This ability, however, does not unlock until the player hits level 20
 * There is actually endgame content that come after the player beats the story (certain side missions activate after the player beats the game and challenges pop up in the map to be completed)
 * In separate story DLC, Black Cat is playable. Black Cat is very agile and very much similar to Catwoman in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. In the DLC, players have the option to roam the world as Black Cat.

Synopsis
Just a year after the Devil's Breath incident that left New York scarred and not able to trust Mayor Osborn, Peter has spent his year working at his former college campus under the brilliant Miles Warren and training Miles Morales to become a superhero, with Miles so eager to do more with his career as a new Wall-Crawler, looking up to Peter as a mentor figure. After an attack on Oscorp with the Lizard trying to steal the Devil's Breath to cure himself, Peter finds out about Norman Osborn's darkest secrets, including a prototype suit and the black symbiote, in which he bonds with, making him ten times stronger, but also ten times more aggressive. Peter enjoys the use of the symbiote to where it concerns those close to him such as Mary Jane, Miles, Eddie Brock, Yuri, and Harry, who returns from Europe all clean; the suit changes him. Norman's mistakes result into him losing his position at Oscorp and going mentally insane, spewing the persona of the Green Goblin, who Spider-Man uses the symbiote to fight. As the Kingpin of Crime returns to claim the city and Osborn's legacy hurting the city, this fight determines both the internal war Peter has with the symbiote and the external war he has waged against Osborn. Norman pushes Peter to his limits by attacking his heart and Peter slowly becomes a monster.
