I enjoyed this game but compared to its predecessor it felt kind of lackluster. The phenomenal web swinging still felt satisfying and I liked the way Miles got completely new
animations and move sets, which really made him feel like another but unique Spider-Man, who lacks experience. The quality of life improvements were also great. There weren't as many collectibles littering the map and the side content didn't feel as repetitive as in the prequel. I also liked that the side missions were connected, which motivated me to finish them all.

A lot of my problems with this game come from the main story. It's just not good, especially compared to the prequel. Simon Krieger is written like some kind of netflix villain and the Underground and the Tinkerer are just as bad, if not worse. I know Miles Morales is more like an expansion to the first game (that's why it's also way shorter), but I still expected the writing to be on par with the first game, especially with that 60€ price tag...
Don't get me wrong, I like Miles and the way he learns to be Spider-Man, but the side content just conveys this so much better than the poorly written main story.

I'm still very excited for Spider-Man 2 though!
