Same but different.

Miles' superpowers offer some variety to combat, the winter setting is beautiful and the overall story was a lot of fun.

I find these Spider-Man games to just be incredibly average. They're fun, and the stories are gripping. But as soon as I'm finished I will forget literally everything about the experience.

The original Spider-Man on PS4 was lightning in a bottle, but Miles Morales and the eventual full sequel Spider-Man 2 prove that Insomniac seem to lack a compelling vision for this series.

I love games like this that continue to just throw surprise curveballs at you constantly.

Just when you think you know what this game is all about it introduces something new to freshen up the experience.

Gimmicks aside however you're still left with a fantastic hack n slash dungeon crawler, that thanks to it's procedurally generated levels, never ceases to be entertaining.

This game started off so promising to me, but It's premise wears so thin after a few hours and the game does very little to evolve it's formula to the extent where the later stages of the game were just an exercise in tedium and frustration.

I made the grave mistake of buying the truth quest DLC as well which basically just added an extra 4 hours of the exact same thing I had already grown tired of on top of the already stale experience.

I enjoy strange games that take a wacky premise and run with it, so I can't hate this game, I did afterall mostly enjoy my time as well, I just feel like it should have perhaps been half as long and half as expensive.

I think a sequel that refines and innovates on the mechanics could genuinely be a good time.
