Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Pencil thin story, way too short, open plot threads, just a re-skinned city, and I won't even dignify the ending story animation. Fun to play, but never feels like a fully fleshed out game.

There are a few things that have noticeably improved since Spiderman ps4. The graphics look incredible on the ps5 and ps4 versions of the game however, the most impressive thing about the game is the performance mode available on the ps5 version which provides a smooth 60fps performance. This makes the already improved combat feel more responsive and overall a much enjoyable experience. There are a lot of new and improved animations for the characters like more expressive swinging and fighting style from Miles Morales. The one and only issue I have with the game is the story. The story truly feels like a complete downgrade compared to the amazing story of spiderman ps4. The first 25 minutes of the game was absolutely amazing and it set my expectations for everything that was to come however, those expectations were met with pure disappointment. The missions were very boring and they felt like side quests. I had heard that the game was meant to be DLC for Spiderman ps4 and after playing many hours of the game I can truly say that it really does feel like it. The story was dragged out by the side quest like missions that were needed to play to progress the actual story. I was excited to play as Miles Morales but in the end, I wanted to go back to Peter and continue his story.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an extremely fun game with great gameplay, audio, voice acting and when played on the PS5 is as beautiful a game that I've played, however there's a glaring problem and that problem is the games lack of an truly engaging villain.

Firstly the positives, this game is extremely fun with amazing combat and the swinging is levels above the original. Miles Morales is an engaging character who shows good character progression throughout the game and I found myself preferring him to Peter Parker in Insomniacs Spider-Man. The soundtrack and audio in this game is amazing, and is a beautiful game on performance mode but when played on fidelity mode it's truly breathtaking and shows the true capabilities of the PS5 and makes me extremely exited for strictly next-gen releases in a couple years.

Now onto my problems with the game. I found the villain nowhere near as engaging as the villain is Insomniacs Spider-Man, and quite frankly I found the villains reveal to be extremely predictable, although I thought most of the missions were engaging and extremely fun I also found some absolute duds in there which simply seemed like fillers to extend the games play length.

In conclusion Spider-Man: Miles Morales does some things better than the original and does some things at a breathtaking level, however this game also provides us with an extremely weak and non-engaging villain and also squeezes every last drop out of the story it's providing, and leaves us with some missions that we could have done without and I feel if this game had been longer the game would have been worse so I'm thankful in that respect.

I won't spoil anything, but I would wait until this goes on sale for 20-30 dollars. I got the platinum in a day. Not worth fifty dollars. The story is a big mess, and is predictable, short, and very cringy at times. However, the gameplay is better than before. Combat is more fun with the addition of venom and camouflage, and swinging just feels way better. This would be a 6/10 if the gameplay didn't feel this good. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one fine. If you think it looks fun, than it will be to you. Personally, the 2018 Spider-Man is in my top 3 games ever, and I was just expecting more from Insomniac. Good, but not great. Wait until it's on sale.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales original game from PlayStation 4 and 5, the new generation of consoles starts with a lot of style and quality, Miles shines in the game, the performance is incredible, so we want the quality of the games of this new generation. The end of the game is exciting and incredible, I am waiting for the continuation (THERE ARE POST-CREDIT SCENES)
