My friend is a huge Spider-Man fan, and when I say that I really mean it. They’ve fully completed both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales several times and could rattle off enough facts and knowledge about the web-slinging hero that would win any pub quiz. So it comes as no surprise that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was a must-play when it launched on October 20. That said, they faced one major challenge when the game came out: they didn’t own a PlayStation 5.
After a lot of persuasion, a lot of pros and cons lists - and generally a lecture on how you only live once and you can make money back - they finally pulled the trigger and upgraded to a PS5 from near-ten-year-old PlayStation 4. While I enjoyed feeling a bit smug about persuading someone to buy a PS5, I then went on to take great pleasure in witnessing first-hand the excitement of someone completely oblivious to the hardware upgrades the PS5 boasts over its predecessor.
