** While they aren't completely useless in stealth, the various gadgets are more combat oriented than in the previous game(s)[[note]]''Miles Morales'' already did a similar nerf, but also included a gadget specifically designed for stealth takedowns[[/note]] so the player can no longer cheese stealth encounters by webbing everyone to a wall from a distance, requiring them use the updated stealth mechanics. That said, some previous gadget effects are still present but integrated into other things, such as the webshooters gaining functionality from impact web (webbing an enemy from close range or after a parry launches them backwards) and web bomb (sometimes webbing an enemy spreads the effect to nearby enemies).

** Nobody considers [[spoiler:giving Peter's anti-venom symbiote to Harry to keep his illness in check, so it's currently unknown if it would help him like the original Venom did, or if it can be removed from Peter in the first place]].
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
The symbiote can't be given; it's made clear that Harry "giving" the symbiote to Peter was actually it choosing him as a better host, because it's a sentient being. Besides, the anti-venom symbiote is a permanent part of Peter.

Recycled Premise isnt about a single reused plot point. It's when a work's entire set up is reused from an earlier work.


* RecycledPremise: Kraven targeting Curt Connors and turning him into an even bigger, more monstrous Lizard was already done in ''VideoGame/SpiderMan3''.

** In the first mission where Harry returns he talks to Peter about how he couldn't have passed math without Peter's help. Later he is unable to put even a single ball into the basketball hoop. These things foreshadow that, despite being a bright kid with great ambitions, he really can't do anything without the help of others. This also foreshadows [[spoiler:Harry depending on the symbiote to survive, being unable even to live unassisted]]

** Peter had 8 years or longer to come to terms with Uncle Ben’s death. Despite enough time passing from the first game for Miles to have become an ExperiencedProtagonist of his own, May's more recent death still haunts Peter and he struggles to move on from it, such as letting her old items be donated to charity. Finding a necklace of hers containing portraits of a younger him and Ben around her house has Peter audibly chocking back a sob and commenting how the sadness "hits you like a rouge wave sometimes". [[spoiler:It's this lingering negativity that forms the core of the emotional turmoil that the symbiote feeds off of and helps attract it to Peter in the first place]].

* CharacterSelectForcing: While the player can usually switch between Peter and Miles at will, there are times when only one can start main and side content. That said, the main story usually justifies it, and some side content only makes sense with a specific Spidey. Currently, only Miles can be used in Mysterium challenges, leaving Peter without a fighting arena. Likewise, Peter, being the one with the access card that unlocks the holographic research boards, is the only one who can do the ENF experiments, occasionally switching into his civilian guise to perform field work. [[spoiler:Both of these reflect on the ending, with Peter stepping back more from Spider-Man to focus on his civilian life whilst Miles steps up to handle the crime-fighting more confidently on his own]].

Added DiffLines:

* GeographicFlexibility: While present in ''Miles Morales'', ''2'' ramps it up to a whole new level by including many buildings and properties inside the city that simply didn't exist before, such as the abandoned school and mansion Hunter Base locations, or the asian food market building where Peter learns who Kraven is. Most egregious is the Queens and Brooklyn areas across the river, which look ''incredibly'' different compared to the more vague and conservative appearance in the previous two games. And of course, several landmarks have been replaced or redesigned with no in-universe explaination, like the Empire State and Chrysler buildings.

* AwesomeButImpractical: There's a reason [[spoiler:Venom]] is restricted to "Don't Be Scared" as a playable character. If [[spoiler:Venom]] is played outside of the mission, he can free-roam the entire map, fight criminals, symbiotes, and hunters. However random crimes such as burning tankers and buildings require webs to stop them from exploding/burning up the building, he's too slow for chases (and gets glitched if you happen to catch up and press the triangle button), and Hunter hideouts involve entering rooms. He can't do basic movements such as wall-crawling or web-slinging, since he can't use webs, and his health will always be at 100 with a single focus bar.
