Miles Morales is an iteration rather than an innovation on Marvel’s Spiderman. It adds slight refinements and upgrades to gameplay elements which made the original such a blast in 2018, with the venom abilities being the real standout addition. The venom abilities look and feel fantastic, not to mention being incredibly useful to turn the tide in combat and stealth encounters. I also love the personality which oozes in the animation design, making Miles feel distinct and full of flair. There are quality of life improvements elsewhere with improved side quests, though some quests types can get repetitious, and the game prioritising quality over quantity more with its collectibles. However, all these minor additions do not stop Miles Morales feeling a bit too familiar. Moreover, the story did not grip me like I was hoping it would because of the weak antagonists and largely unengaging narrative. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed my time with Miles Morales; it just feels like Insomniac has all the pieces there to make a truly special experience but are held back my some poor design decisions which plague many open world games and various narrative shortcomings.

very pretty and more fun to actually play and swing around in than the previous one, but god bless their souls insomniac's writing team is so millenial white liberal IFUCKINGLOVESCIENCE nothing-meaningful-to-say it's actually fucking hilarious
Really nice story but really short and repetitive with other spiderman games
This was my first Insomniac Spider-Man, and it was a little overwhelming at first as it definitely assumes familiarity with the first game despite being a standalone release.
Personally fine with it being a shorter game, as I think I'd get bored if it lasted much longer and it's open world didn't seem to offer much variety to make me want to dig into it's content. Obviously, the main appeal is its traversal which is fun but because it’s so simple It’s a bit shallow.
You can see the inspiration from the Arkham games in the combat, but I find it strange how much the game pushes you towards stealth, because I don’t think it’s as much fun as the venom combat and the game seems to punish you not using stealth even if it’s not essential.
The little puzzle sections I generally wasn’t in love with, they often felt a bit unintuitive over what your goal is.
Ultimately, I’m not really the Sony AAA cinematic/open world guy. So, I knew going in a lot of these things would be issues to me and the story wouldn’t be very engaging as I’m not a Spider-Man guy. But I still got a fair amount of enjoyment out of my time with this, as a sort of free if you have PS Plus game, so I don’t regret playing it.

As with all these games, very technically accomplished. The content of them is kinda like trashy food to me, and this one is no exception. Not a huge challenge or very engaging, but easy to just zone out and play through them.
The story was predictable but good enough, I think Miles is a great character. There are fewer annoying side activities than SM1 but the core issues I had with combat being kinda dull and the stealth sections just bad remain unchanged.

Sympa, assez court
Embora repetitivo na sua mecânica, a atmosfera natalina e o restante da história foram suficientes pra me fazer amar esse jogo e, mais ainda, o personagem do Miles.
This game felt small. What I mean by that is that everything this game did, was done already and better by its predecessor Spider-Man 2018. It is short, its story is concise and honestly quite boring, and it does not really introduce much new aside from its new combat gimmicks given to Miles. I do not look back on this title fondly, and it honestly felt like playing an expanded DLC.
A very solid story. LOVE the suits
this game speaks to two universal truths:
1. community is everything
2. tech bros fucking SUCK

Uma DLC por assim dizer, terminei com menos de 10 horas e olha que nem rushei, tava até curtindo o jogo, se balançando pra lá e pra cá, mas porra, precisava ser tão curto? Fora que a história teria sido resolvida se o Miles só metesse um socão na vilã
A little too short but I liked the guy from spiderman into the spider verse.
Very short and it was alright, nothing super noteworthy.
More of the same great Spider-Man story and gameplay from the first game, but MILES MORALES also has more of the same tedious and obnoxious challenges and "padding" present in the first game, as well.
Short, but it has everything a good Spider-Man game needs.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales only likes to listen to the same three songs every year.
I wanted to make good use of my newly acquired PlayStation 5 so I decided to play the spider boy game. Being a distant fan of Spider-Man since the Sam Raimi films, I was curious, and genuinely excited, to see what the hype around this modern series was all about. I had my suspicions, and my suspicions were correct.
It is truly a Hollywood Marvel popcorn video game. Even the fact that they preface the game's own title with Marvel's indicates to consumers that what you are buying is a specific brand of video game. It almost acts as a seal of approval. However, nowadays its a signpost for familiarity and fatigue. All this Marvel stuff is like a bad rash that isn't going away. If Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was more like a hotdog or even a portion of cheesy nachos, I think I would've liked it better and feel fuller in my belly.
In saying all of this, the game does house some great moments. An excellent opening and some of the best open world traversal mechanics I have played with. However, I felt like I had already played this game before. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a jacked up modern incarnation of a tired formula.
If you hold a high regard toward these games, I totally understand because I thought the same about them twenty years earlier.

A lot shorter than 2018 Spider-Man, but still every bit as fun, so I’m gonna give it the full 5 stars. Honestly? I think I had even more fun with some of Miles’ electrical powers than I did with Peter’s abilities in the first game. And to top of it all off, traversing the city is as freeform & pleasant as ever & the story still keeps you invested right up till the credits roll. An excellent follow-up to an excellent game. If you’ve played both Marvel’s Spider-Man 1 & 2, I encourage you not to skip this one ---- the same quality is here as well.
It was fun to swing around nyc in timbs
Story is Weaker than Spider-man 1 but gameplay is a Vast improvement
gameplay and graphics wise its better than the original in every way but its not as good in every other aspect lol, still very very good though
The story felt weaker than the first game, but upon further reflection, it is just a different scale of story. Miles powers improve the flow of combat and traversal feels snappier on the PS5.
a lot shorter than the first one, but all the new moves are sick and i liked the story a lot i honestly almost cried at the end
dialogue cringey af couldnt even finish the game
great game just spider man 2 is better
Finished main story. Left some side stories
Isnt a bad game, but its really short with 15 main missions, it could definately be an dls for marvels spiderman ps4 but it isnt, also it costs more than 200RS$ in the playstationstore, it definately dont worth it, i played it cause it was in psp
Better than the other one
achei a historia uma bostaa so q e bem legal as mecanicas e tudo mais
Probably my favorite game in the spiderman series.
Miles > Peter
Miles > Peter
Miles morales is the shorter and slightly weaker version of marvels spider-man. But the game is still great. I absolutely love Miles Morales as a character. Into the spider-verse is my favorite movie oat so his character holds something special to me and I love his interpretation here. The gameplay is an improved version of the OG, the venom abilities are insanely fun. The traversal stays mainly the same but I love the animations that miles has. Story is solid but not as good as OG. Overall game is a great shorter experience. 8/10
