Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Reviews
Miles Morales is a worthy standalone addition to Insomniac's excellent Spider-Man game and a compelling part of the PlayStation 5 launch lineup, even if it does seem a little pricey
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales doesn't even try to reinvent the wheel, but it's enjoyable and well packed.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the end of one generation and the start of another. It serves as yet another defining title for PlayStation but also an essential story for Marvel's greatest hero. With new innovations in Spidey gameplay as well as loads of refinement and a wildly impactful story, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the game we need right now.
Don't be fooled into thinking Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is some minor spin-off of Insomniac Games' PS4 exclusive. Sure, it's not as long, but the experience is packed with enough new gameplay ideas and design refinements that it feels every bit like a true, substantial successor. Throw in a story that does justice to Miles as a character and tech that wonderfully showcases the power of the PlayStation 5, and you just might have one of the best console launch titles of the modern era.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was a brilliant game when it launched in 2020, and it remains so now. Its origins as a standalone expansion means it’s noticeably shorter than Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, but it has a more enjoyable story and improved gameplay. It makes swinging through the streets of New York City, combating crime as you go, an utter delight. And this PC port is pretty much flawless.
Insomniac wanted to please Miles Morales fans with their latest Spider-Man adventure. The result is a damn near perfect action-adventure game.
Perhaps I’ve been dismissive of Spider-Man: Miles Morales in calling it a standalone expansion, because while it may indeed be shorter than Insomniac’s first Spider-Man outing, it’s not just a simple continuation of the story designed to wring out a bit more moolah from your wallet. Think of it as a more focused sequel instead, as that’s what it actually feels like. It’s free of story bloat, and the gameplay has most definitely been expanded upon and improved. Plus, since when has an expansion looked so much nicer than the game it’s building upon? This is a timely release that demonstrates the power of the PS5 with style, and if you aren’t picking it up alongside your console, you’re simply doing things wrong.
I would suggest waiting for a sale — but please, do not bail on this one.
As more of the same of a genuinely good game, it nails all the benchmarks—even if its efforts to be about more than just “Spider-Man hits the bad guys” steer it into some regrettable half measures and questionable choices. And judged on its own merits, there’s nothing automatically wrong with more of the same. But its status as a flagship part of the launch of the PS5 confers extra power on this unassuming little title—power it doesn’t always wield with the great responsibility such a prominent position demands.
If the sticker price isn't a concern, in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you'll find a game that is lacking in originality but thankfully built on a solid core that needs a few tweaks. It's a successful expansion of Insomniac's Spider-Man universe, but it's a new paragraph, rather than a new chapter. Hopefully it will give us the latter next time around. And though it's also good for representation, it still has a ways to go. (Though the game wasn't anything special, Marvel's Avengers gave us a Muslim-American lead in Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel.) Hopefully we can get Spider-Gwen from Insomniac next, or a Spider-Verse game, though given the lack of setup, either seems unlikely. For now, Miles continues his upward trajectory. He walked in 2018, so he could fly in 2020.
The most up-to-date proof that Insomniac's Spider-Man franchise is holding up well. I wish it has a better pricing policy though. When it's on sale you can easly easily add +1 to the final score.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales features a more interesting protagonist, a rich story, well-built characters and slight improvements in gameplay that make this adventure one of the best superhero games ever released. On the PC, the graphics are impressive and the performance doesn't leave anything to be desired.

Overall, the Spider-Man expansion on PC is good, it has its own style, a specific hero, news compared to the previous story, and if you liked the original game, you will definitely enjoy this one too. But the price is excessive. 50 ' for a short story is too much.

Much like its predecessor, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an exercise in how to do a superhero game right. The movement is exhilarating, the combat is well done given the bevy of options at your disposal, and it contains more than enough to keep you busy but not bored. The fact that it can do all of this in a more compact package (in terms of gameplay hours) is a testament to tight design, while the story is more compelling thanks to a new cast of characters. With a presentation that's better than the PS5, provided you have the hardware to push things, Miles Morales is an easy recommendation for PC players.
Rather short but action-packed and full of exciting moments, Spider-Man: Miles Morales shows what PS5 hardware is capable of, and tells a fresh and different Spider-Man story.

If you liked Marvel's Spider-Man game, it's not possible not to like Miles Morales. However, since it's a smaller spinoff game it's not cool to pay a full game price.

Product like this should get a stamp on the box: Warning! DLC at the price of AAA.

Another fantastic experience from Insomniac's serving of Spider-Man. An improvement on an already fantastic original title. In Insomniac's hands, we don't just have two great Spider-Man games, but two great Spider-Men.
It might not be a quantum leap over the first game but this is still a gorgeous game with a lively world, with a fun battle system and exhilarating traversal, and on the PlayStation 5 with its higher frame rate and blazing fast travel this is also a leaner version of an entertaining game.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a fantastic game that once again proves that superheroes could be successful in video games too. Gameplay is fun, visuals are amazing and story is engaging. Still side missions need to be improved and AI has some problems. Nevertheless, Spider-Man Miles Morales is a game all people have to give it a Shot!
