Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Reviews
From its newly incorporated next-gen technology down to its rooted and representative backstory, Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcases some of the best capabilities of the PS5. A short but fun sequel to the groundbreaking Spider-Man for PS4 that’s more than worthy as a successor.
2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 was a really special game for me, as you might imagine for a guy who named his only child after Peter Parker. The Pete that we get in Spider-Man 2018 is one of my favourite interpretations of the character and I’ve been reading Amazing Spider-Man every single month for the past 20 years. It’s probably in my top 10 games of all time.
While not as long or immersive as its predecessor, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a strong entry in what promises to be an excellent franchise worthy of the Spider-Man name.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a must-play whether on PS5 or PS4. The game looks good and plays smoothly. Its narrative and cast of characters implore you to see the best in those around you, which is a more important message than ever.
Spiderman Miles Morales is a great evolution from the original title. If you liked Marvel’s Spiderman you’ll feel right at home! The game manages to present some of the best features of the new Sony console, although it shows some dependence on being a multi generational title. Although presenting an experience that we would like to see somewhat more extended, Insomniac manages to present a set of quite captivating story and characters. The foundations for an upcoming title of our friendly neighborwood spiderman are in place, now the producer needs to risk evolving, just as he did in the original title. We will be waiting!

This experience, even with its obvious limitations, is not lost. Through the mantle of next-gen traffic - despite playing just fine on PS4 - it tries to camouflage its weaknesses stemming from the fact that you're playing an elongated expansion.

Thanks to its good gameplay and wonderful technical aspects, Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales is a funny product that people who love the spider-verse will appreciate. The longevity is not something particularly special, although we enjoyed every moment we spent into Insomniac Games and Miles Morales’ Manhattan.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an outstanding example of what the PlayStation 5 is capable of, with the thrilling adventure brought to life by some stunning visuals and an emotionally-driven tale. I loved the new combat mechanics brought on by the Venom powers and the cloaking, whilst the streamlined mission design made everything feel a little bit more meaningful. Add to that the instantaneous loading times and the Activity Card integration and you’ll quickly find that Spider-Man: Miles Morales is easily one of the best launch titles available on the PlayStation 5. It’s worth noting that it’s a lot smaller in scale that its predecessor, but Spider-Man: Miles Morales still improves upon its greatness. Whether you’re a fan of the web-slinger or not, you won’t want to miss out on this one.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is simply an excellent sequel. Miles is an even more charismatic protagonist than Peter was and the only major fault is the short length.

If Spider-Man was Insomniac's rebuttal to this titular hero's decaying status within games, Miles Morales is its claim that story opportunities beyond Peter Parker are also worthwhile.
I left Miles Morales wanting nothing more than to return to him with a new experience ASAP.
I’m happy to say that Insomniac has impressed me in their ability to pull off such an entertaining title to kick off the next generation of gaming. Even if it isn’t that long, the fantastic gameplay and stunning visuals make this title shine. Maybe it’s just my love for Spider-Man, but Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales has pushed the standard even higher. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this Miles and this Spider-Man universe.
Long story short, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a stellar game, deserving of a perfect score. However, it’s not without faults. Still, this new entry to the web-slinging series is what players shouldn’t miss out on. The teenage Miles Morales may be new to the superhero business, but people behind the game definitely aren’t.
Miles Morales steps up and delivers a knockout performance as the Spider-Man we need right now.
Miles Morales doesn’t reinvent the superhero genre or change any of the core gameplay that Spider-Man fans fell in love with during the original game. Instead, the charm is found with Miles Morales himself and his journey to establish a presence in New York while becoming confident in his abilities without Peter Parker by his side… Miles Morales makes you feel like a fledgling superhero and a teenager, learning the ropes of life, love, and web-slinging.
While it feels less polished than the 2018 base game, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is still a must-play for any Spider-Man fan. It is also clear how the theme with Miles Morales is “short” or “quick”. There are motifs of shorter and more condensed experiences strewn throughout the entire game: from its skill trees, and Miles’ suits, gadgets, and modifications, through to the short but sweet six-hour campaign, and around four extra hours of side content and collectables. It does feel like Miles Morales was meant as a proper expansion to release alongside Marvel’s Spider-Man, but got cut halfway into development and was subsequently repurposed as a PlayStation 5 launch title instead. Nevertheless, the game offers a solid single-player experience and serves as a wonderful cutting of the ribbon for all future PlayStation 5 titles.
Spiderman: Miles Morales is a game with enough personality and entity of its own to be considered a worthy continuation of the 2018 exclusive and, more importantly, one of the great excuses to buy a PS5.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales as a sequel is a half-step from Marvel’s Spider-Man. The game is not trying to bring a fresh take on superhero open-worlds. Rather, it is refining the mechanics and shaping it around the true star of the game: Miles. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a completely character-driven game that knocks it out of the park and some. Miles, his family, and friends, his neighborhood – all are standout parts of this personal coming-of-age story that triumphs the original game. Take into account the rich Hispanic and Harlem culture is seen throughout, and you have something truly unique.
“Miles Morales isn't just one of the best Spider-Man games, it's the one that I feel most empowered by”
Here we are, playing the next Spider-Man game with a new character and everything is different. Yet the same.
