Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launched exclusively for PlayStation 5 on the same day last month, and became Sony’s most popular first-party video game. We loved the game – read Game Informer Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 review here – but players and critics alike have discovered bugs and issues leading to laughs, in some cases, and progress impediment in other cases.
