A few missions into the game, you will level up and earn a Skill Point, which can be applied to one of three different skill trees. These trees will help Spider-Man do his heroic duties with a greater ease, whether it’s increasing his combat capabilities or just quickening his traversal of the city. It is possible to get all of the skills, although you will need a total of 49 skill points to do so, which basically means leveling Spider-Man up to level 50, the maximum in the game.
