Play time upon finishing : 11 hours
I played very little of Spider-Man (2018) on PS4 a few years ago, I ended up dropping it because I was not a fan of the combat, however recently I went and saw 'Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse" in cinema and due to my PS+ subscription, it gave me the urge to check out Miles Morales for the PS5.
The game is pretty solid overall, the story was pretty decent and I really enjoyed the characters, the gameplay was good too in terms of the swinging mechanics and chase sequences, however the game falls short in its combat, its very flashy, but lacks substance and complexity - not bad by any means, but just not for me.
Another small gripe with the combat is not only its repetitiveness, but the repretitiveness of the enemy voice lines, many of which being cringeworthy. Many voice lines are reused throughout the entirety of the game and I feel as if it would've drove me insane if the game was any longer than what it was.
The visuals are absolutely stunning, but I will say, in some cutscenes which contain miles outside of his spider-suit looked rather rough, but when it comes to actual in game content, it looks great all of the time, the fluidity between moving from cutscene to gameplay was incredible, a true current gen experience.
Enjoyed my time with this but cannot see myself returning to Spider-Man (2018) or playing the upcoming 'Spider-Man 2', this game gave me my fix and I am content leaving it at that.
