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.

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)

This game is extremely fun to play. But it is SHORT. I finished this game very quickly and without putting a lot of time into it. It needs more.

The next gen consoles are here with brand new games and we start with this one which I've been looking forward to (I LOVED Spider-Man PS4 and I was really excited to see what they were gonna do with Miles in his own game) set almost a year after the events of the first game, New York now has a second Spider-Man with Miles Morales who is still trying to learn how to be a hero. Then, Peter Parker decides to leave New York for a bit and leaves New York to Miles who suddenly has to deal with threats like the Tinkerer and the underground and learn what it means to be a hero. First off, the game looks fantastic and the gameplay is still amazing (I love how differently Miles plays from Peter with added abilities like Venom Punch and cloaking but also in the way he moves and acts and it's cool to watch him progress and get better) and I, for the most part, liked the story (I loved watching Miles grow throughout the game and learn to be his own kind of hero and I love the lesson of this game about it not matter where you come from or what you look like, you can be a hero) and the map of New York is once again a blast to swing around and do fun missions in (I especially love the winter setting) In regards to issues, the story can be a little rushed (it's around half the length of PS4 Spider-Man's story and it feels like it sometimes) and some characters I didn't find that interesting (they weren't bad. Like the Tinkerer as a character I didn't really find that compelling) in the end, I had a total blast playing this game and I still can't wait to see more of this world with a great lead character, great world, fun story and missions, epic gameplay and a reminder of why I love Spider-Man.

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.
