Spider-Man 2 hits ¥180 – is this New York still worth another swing?

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 physical copies are now selling for around 180 yuan on Pinduoduo—roughly half the launch price. Insomniac Games' 2023 release has moved over 10 million units globally, but the steep discount raises a question: is this virtual New York still worth exploring?

If you're the type who can't resist swinging between rooftops or clearing every side quest marker, this price is a no-brainer. Insomniac turned New York into a massive playground where Peter Parker and Miles Morales move in completely different ways. Peter's web-swinging has that physics-heavy momentum, while Miles' bioelectric abilities let you zip through the city like lightning. Just learning the fastest routes across Manhattan can eat up a dozen hours.

Beyond the map, though, the game disappoints. The main story rushes through beats, and most side missions are reskinned collectible cleanup. You rescue hostages in Queens, then do the exact same thing in Brooklyn with color-swapped enemies. Compared to Ghost of Tsushima's shrines—each with its own story—Spider-Man 2 lacks exploration depth.

The price drop likely ties to channel inventory clearing, especially with Marvel's Spider-Man 3 news starting to surface. If you own a PS5 Pro, now's a good time to jump in—the enhanced visuals make building reflections and web strand details pop. But if you're chasing open-world exploration, finish Elden Ring's DLC first. That's a map that actually makes you forget fast travel exists.

At 180 yuan, you're buying the thrill of free-flying above Manhattan. As long as repetitive content doesn't bother you, this city's still worth dozens of hours of swinging. The game supports Chinese and benefits from PS5 Pro enhancements.
