A good time, but Spider-Man 2018 was better

User Rating: 7 | Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5

Pros:

  • Fight scenes

  • Action sequences

  • Stealth

  • Suits

  • Unlockables, collectables

  • City traversal *

  • Gameplay

  • Moves to learn

  • Weather effects

  • Excellent graphics in general

Cons:

  • Spider-Man 2018 was better

    • Miles Morales feels like something in between an expansion and a sequel

    • Fewer moves to use

    • Story is not quite as gripping

    • Really no improvements and very few differences to the gameplay

  • I feel like the story was trying to push a “no one respects me as spiderman” narrative, which I think is a great idea, but I don’t think they executed that well.

  • The Miles voice actor got really high-pitched and squeaky in action sequences, which just felt wrong for a spiderman. The actor was great outside of those moments.

Nitpickey:

  • Didn’t care for the Spidey app or the new Podcaster

Rating:
