If you enjoyed the 2018 game, you will enjoy this one for sure. You get to experience what is, in a way, the origins of a new Spider-Man, and Miles’s journey towards learning to be his own Spider-Man rather than mimicking Peter, and earning recognition and respect among his community for his friendly neighborhood deeds.

From the get-go, you have a lot of Peter’s abilities from the first game already unlocked for Miles. Therefore the skill trees focus more on brand new abilities that are unique to Miles, and how he develops them as the plot progresses. Another great thing is the inclusion of an in-universe app that lets you play whatever side activity you want. This is especially great if you’re chasing trophies as you don’t have to wait for a specific crime to appear in order to complete everything you need, you can just spawn it and go.

My main complaint is that it felt a bit short in some areas of the main plot. at points it feels as though it was being rushed even though some time could’ve been taken to expand on what was going on. As a result of this, Roxxon feel one-dimensional despite being some of the main antagonists. Then again this is more of a standalone expansion rather than a full game, and it rightly places most of its focus on Miles and the citizens of Harlem and the rest of Manhattan that he interacts with in his day to day life, both as Miles Morales and Spider-Man.

One thing that solves this issue is the side quests, even though they aren’t required, I feel as though the side quests are integral to the experience of the game and Miles’s character, and you would definitely be missing out by not engaging with this content.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see my Spideys return when I get around to playing the next game.
