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 Bugle assignments (which some lead into special side missions), 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
 * 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 and Eddie Brock), 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 a reputation system in the game, as the symbiote suit is a giant part of the narrative and Spider-Man's heroic status is being questioned
 * 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)
 * Players can choose to hang out with Mary Jane, Harry, and even Ned and Eddie Brock, who are both introduced in this game (Ned being a student at ESU who Peter befriends and plays an important role throughout the story and Eddie being Peter's childhood best friend, but plays a minor role in the story)
 * In separate story DLC, both Black Cat and Daredevil are playable. Daredevil's combat focuses on his hyper-hearing, billy clubs, and parkour moves, while Black Cat is very agile and very much similar to Catwoman in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. In both DLCs, players have the option to roam the world as Daredevil and as Black Cat.
