Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

After a highly successful Spider-Man game in 2018, Insomniac Games decided to follow it up with a spinoff focusing on Miles Morales. The gameplay was highly enjoyable and the bioelectricity possessed by Miles was so much fun to use on enemies. The characters were well written however the story was highly predictable and nowhere near as exciting as the original game.

Loved this game, however could get repetitive like the first one did.

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.

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.

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.
