A somewhat short game to tide people over between the original and Spider-Man 2, Miles Morales standalone adventure feels extremely similar, in both gameplay and story.

Some additions have been made to make the already varied combat of the original even better, and pre-emptively gives Miles a unique kit going into the next game.

There are many moments that really feel like you're watching/playing a big budget superhero film, most notably the bridge scene.

I have a few issues with the game, like too many missions being way too slow paced and essentially "walk and talk" cutscenes that act as gameplay. Ranged enemies seemed way too intrusive and made certain fighting tactics where you have to stand in one space for more than a second, like swinging objects around, impossible. Any puzzles in the game will basically be answered for you by Miles himself (there may be an option to turn that off to be fair, I never checked). They're all pretty minor problems, much like any were originally.

There's not a whole lot to say about the game that can't be said for the original. It's just kind of more of that with minor changes.
