But some gamers like to wait for reviews to make their decisions on games, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The day a review embargo ends is exciting for many as their social media feeds light up with journalists and content creators posting about how they feel about it.

When is Spider-Man 2 review embargo?

The review and impressions embargo for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ends on Oct. 16 at 9am CT, according to those who have been given access to the game.

With the press of a few buttons, players can swap between Peter Parker and Miles Morales in a transition that is near-instant. The world map has grown, with Manhattan adding the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn as playable areas.

There are dozens of suits to unlock and use, abilities for both Spider-Men to unlock and level up, and sidequests galore across the map along with the game’s main storyline, offering dozens of hours of entertainment for those who are looking to fully experience the title.
