Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales (2020)
Played on PlayStation 5 (Replay)
I had originally played this back when it had came out, however since I didn’t have a PS5 at the time, I had played the PS4 version. While overall it was pretty fun time, for the length of the game itself as well as the amount of bugs I had, I really wish it was just part of the 1st game for a cheaper price. I didn’t even have the motivation to 100% it at the time like I did with the first.
However, with Spider-Man 2 on the horizon, I wanted to go back and revisit Miles on the PS5, and finally complete the game to 100% on New Game Plus. Upon the revisit, I had a much better time when it came to glitches/bugs, but I still ran into a lot. I never had this many going on with Spider-Man 1, and I only played the PS4 version of that game. As for the overall quality of the game itself, my feelings haven’t really changed. It’s a nice addition to this world of Spider-Man, but it doesn’t do anything really “special”. The story is extremely lacking in comparison to the original, and the Tinkerer is a very disappointing villain. It’s just “okay” for Miles first outing I suppose.
The gameplay definitely still shines though, as Miles’s powers are very fun as well as his new gadgets. Replaying this had me even more excited for 2 as Miles’s abilities will be able to be more fleshed out and improved too. The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app is nice feature, but side missions as a whole still kinda…suck lol. Aaron’s side mission getting the samples around the city is a unique idea, but the end result was not it at all.
Miles isn’t a bad game, but just like the first, it just does the bare minimum of what the ideal Spider-Man game should have. I’m hoping that the sequel really switches it up and gives us a classic.
