So what’s going on?
Mostly it’s down to graphical issues.
Spider-Man 2 has not enjoyed the launch on PC that its predecessors have.
Nevertheless, some of the reviews make for grim reading.
Here are a selection of the negative reviews detailing what’s going on.
“Hold off on buying until they get a couple of stabilization patches out because holy hell.
Reading some of the early reviews, I’m suddenly less optimistic about playing Spider-Man 2 right now on my Steam Deck.
To say this is “rough” is an understatement.
“No wonder they did zero advertising for this PC Port… Crashing every 10 minutes.
“A problem has occurred with your display driver.
A bunch of fixes look necessary to get Spider-Man 2 up to scratch.
kindly try updating your graphics drivers, or lowering your in-game configs.”
DLSS is broken and causes significant dithering on hair and shadows (only ray traced.)
Frame gen is almost a must to avoid CPU related issues.
This is all barring the constant crashes.
The game has crashed 5 times for me now, it’s been an hour.”
Either wait out stabilisation patch or secure your money altogether!”
The sage advice right now might be to hold off buying until some fixes have been pushed out.
