I cant imagine what it must have been like if you had gotten this game in 2012 not knowing what you where getting into. One of the best and most horrific games that i have ever played.
Being a story based shooter is a tough call in 2012 when everything is a military shooter that has multyplayer. this game is highly critical of that genre, forcing you the player to look at what you are doing in the game and ask if you should blindly follow instruction.
Most points of the game there are "choices" that you can make if you pay enough attention. But the game doesn't really want you to know that, which is why they only tell you once at the very beginning that your mission is only recon. Walker changes it nearly instantly and you the player just blindly accept that you are supposed to just start killing people now. This works very well in setting the themes and making you think a bit more when you play other games
The game play is fine, nothing too ground breaking here. Standard cover based 3rd person shooter affair. I would say its not even quite as good as the gears of war or mass effect games, but definitely serviceable. Again though, this almost adds to the theme of the game, why is it normal for games to be fun while killing other people in a war setting.
8/10

I love miles. over the passed few years he has kinda become my favorite web slinger. Spider Man Miles Morales nails the introduction to the character. He really has a great time to shine here, Pete is on vacation and its up to Miles to protect Harlem.
The voice work and music where really a stand out in this game, especially hearing troy baker. the web swinging is obviously top notch, just like the last game.
I actually really liked the length of this title too. it really didnt overstay its welcome, but it took the time it needed to set up miles, and all the people around him who will be important in the future.

When i fist booted up this game, i didnt think that i would be playing my game of the year. hard hitting battles ,great explorable world and a solid party.
the first half of the game really felt a bit like lunar ,and i ultamately wasnt vibing with that as much. i really liked the combat though so i kept playing. and im happy that i did .What i got was so much more than lunar. Once the set up is over at around the 13 hour mark the story starts to rocket away, taking the player on a journey that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
the timed input combat really felt great here. it made the standard incounters feel more difficult while not being a taxing menu based fight everytime.
My only nit pick is that i would have liked a bit more interpersonal drama with the party. maybe a few side quests with some of the supporting cast to flesh out their relationships a bit more. but that even feels a bit much, since the party all works well
9/10
