Why Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 May Need a New Approach to Collectibles

Collectibles are a staple of the open-world genre. Whether it’s an action-adventure or RPG, every open-world game has at least a handful of different items that players are encouraged to collect, from new pieces of gear to artifacts that expand the game’s lore to flowers that can be used to unlock new cosmetic options. Insomniac’s Spider-Man series is no different, with both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales containing a slew of unique collectibles each. But while the collectibles in Insomniac’s past two Spider-Man games have been heavily praised, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 may be forced to switch things up a little.
