    While a bit thin on content plus the new PlayStation price tag are kind of a hummer when compared to the original Marvel's Spider-Man, Miles Morales is a compressed version of the first game that gets even more right.
    The 1st game already had brilliant combat design that shifted between gameplay and cinematics perfectly. Still it is arguably impossible to go back after playing Miles

    The 1st game already had brilliant combat design that shifted between gameplay and cinematics perfectly. Still it is arguably impossible to go back after playing Miles Morales. The characters are likeable, the story is well paced, the gameplay is superb. They took the near-perfect execution of the great but proven concept of combat like the Arkham games - and brought it to the next level. Really, the only bad points are the short length, price and its technical side. While the game performs mostly great it is easy to notice it has ot seen the amount of polish the original game has
    Still an absolute must play. I can't weit where Insomniac take us next with their "Playstation Spiderverse".

    Gameplay is a little better than the previous game with new abilities and it does a good job to introduce Miles and develop the character before the next main game.
    The story is very predictable and mid, with a mid villain but the Prowler is a good character.
    Graphics are really good and the last boss fight is really good.
    Summing up is a good warm up for the next main game.

    Gran expansión del Spider-Man original de PS4. Muy buena historia, misiones divertidas y jugabilidad mejorada.
    Muy recomendado si te gustó la primera aventura

    Well, it's short, but it's a blast! I prefered to play it in 4kHDR with raytracing, looked very nice. But completed it 10-12 hours and then back to shelve. Anyway the PS5 needs its fodder.

    Spiderman Miles Morales to Spiderman is like Resident Evil 3 Remake to Resident Evil 2 Remake. More of the same fantastic gameplay and a great story but just simply too short and a little rushed for it's own good. 84/100

    Love the gameplay. Loved the characters and the plot. But there's no question it's a pretty short game for $50+. I'm ok with that, but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't be and won't find enough value here.

    Really fun game with a lot of heart and good intentions. Gameplay and graphics were top notch but the story itself is very short, I've finished the game in 7-8hrs. For 65$ CAD thats a bit short I think.

    Очень короткая игра, как DLC, за что 60$? За то что-бы поиграть 3 часа и удалить игру?

    Me ha gustado mucho. La historia principal algo corta, pero muy disfrutable. El doblaje castellano muy bueno, la mecánica del juego igual que el primero. Es una pasada volar por nueva York de esa forma.

And no, you don't fight Rhino "a thousand times". You fight him a grand total of TWO TIMES. TWO. I guess you guys didn't graduate Kindergarten? lol

    As for the game: It's really good, at least as good as the original Spider-Man, if not better. I really liked the venom and stealth powers, they are great additions to the gameplay. The story is great, I love the setting of NYC at Christmas time, and, speaking as a white dude, I really liked the representation of Harlem, black people, Puerto-Rican people, deaf people etc.

    What is true is that the game is pretty short. If you get it as the bundle together with Spider-Man Remastered, IMO you get more than your money's worth. If, on the other hand, you have already played the original Spider-Man, you probably shouldn't pay full price for Miles Morales, as it does really feel more like an add-on. But hey, it's certainly not the first AAA game with a ~10-hour campaign, so I'm not sure know why people are getting their panties all twisted up in a bunch for this one specifically (pssssst, it's because you play as a black guy!).

    Great game that stands up on its own and sets things up for a sequel to the original entry from 2018.

    GAMEPLAY: Similar to the previous one, with some new tweaks that keep it fresh. Combat includes new moves and possibilities, while traversal has different animations to fit the new character. Many costumes and perks create interesting combinations, but it can get repetitive by the very end (specially if you played the first one recently).

    SOUNDTRACK: even better than the first one, more personalized with a urban style.

    The game runs perfectly on PS5, with minimal loading times and a graphical mode that includes both RTX and 60fps. I did not encounter many bugs during my playthrough, and were only some random npcs glitching. Would recommend the game for 40-50€ maximum.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The games price vs. the length disappoint me a lot. Nonetheless, this game is very well made and have a pretty solid, but short, story with new characters and pretty much the same structure as its older brother.

    Graphics looks amazing and the game plays amazing as well. You can see the facial capture being way better looking compared to Spiderman Remastered. Raytracing also does a lot for this game, which doesn't even really short down on the lower resolution thanks to Insomniacs revolutionary temporal injection. Also the loading is insane, and is a nice showcase for the PS5's power.

    Story is okay keeping you engaged and interested for long enough, but obviously feel very short. We do see some new and exciting characters like the Prowler, but still falls short on some other missed opportunities.

    As Spider-Man 1 this is an excellent game in terms of sound design, visual effects, stability and fun. Insomniac cant be praised enough for their skill level in developing games. I did not have a single hiccup, bluescreen or bug in my 21hr platinum playthrough.

    For me personally the only down-side is the price considering the kind of short main story line. I want to give this game a 10

    For me personally the only down-side is the price considering the kind of short main story line. I want to give this game a 10 because it really deserves it but in the back of my head it is a 9 or 9.5 when you need to have attention on where you drop your money. Even bundled in the Ultimate Edition it is pricey but still an awesome game. I feel there is not a single down-side in both those games.

    One minor thing that came to my attention is that 2 savestates with 2 save slots each seem to take 144mb on my PS5 which seems a whole lot and is a bit strange. If you need to upload 144mb to your cloud storage with a bad connection that will take quite a while.

    Besides these two things I consider Spider-Man 1 and Miles Morales as an essential. It is also one of the few games that seems to make open world fun and not some boring grind (although it is at times) but the variety and how they handle questing, especially in Miles Morales should be a new standard for all games that try to establish open worlds.

    Clear recommendation. If you have to watch for the money, wait for a price drop around 20% to make it more suitable.

    短是短了点,主线还是比本篇精彩的,各种人脸建模也顺眼了很多。 虽然还是公式化开放世界那一套,不过要收敛一点,随便做了点支线还蛮有趣的,忍住没打白金体验要舒服很多

    Comparing to original Spider-man this game is almost the same but it's still good. New story, new villain, family involvement - full kit of superhero game/movie/comix. So what was expected that was given.

    Game is quite short but I'd rather say it's benefit because I've tired a bit of 100h+ games.

    So great DLC for great game. Looking forward for next-gen Spider-Man 2.

    Best PS5 exclusives to own today. The graphics and detailed setting of the open world uses the full potential of the PS5’s power. The story falls short when you can complete the whole game in a day or two I always see this game more of an add-on to Playstation 4’s Exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man more than a full game

    If you like the previous Spider-Man game, you will like this one too. Maybe it was not so obvious for people, who played it on release, but now it doesn't cost so much and I think it is a wonderful game in such class.

    I cleared the map on 100% and it was exciting enough. Of course, some activities were very similar to each other, sometimes fight with similar enemies were boring. But

    I cleared the map on 100% and it was exciting enough. Of course, some activities were very similar to each other, sometimes fight with similar enemies were boring. But when you mix it with the main and side quests smartly the game plays with bright colors.
    So I can definitely say that I enjoyed playing it.

    Besides similar activities I also didn't like too cliched and sleek moments in the character's interactions, often they were too children's and infantile.
    But in total, with all game's technical beautifulness, I liked it not less than 2018 game, so I gave it the same good score.

    It's a short spin-off of original Spider Man. It takes about 7-8h to complete main story. The side missions are a little boring, but if you enjoy fetch/fight them all quests its ok. The graphics are better than 2018 game on PS5 but 60fps makes the biggest difference. 8/10

    Rather short but action-packed and full of exciting moments, Spider-Man: Miles Morales shows what PS5 hardware is capable of, and tells a fresh and different Spider-Man story.

    Stretched between two generations of consoles, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is more of a teaser than a real showcase of PS5’s capabilities. It does not feel like a full-fledged sequel either, but the original’s gameplay mechanics still work great, while new gadgets and skills related to electricity are fun to use. [13/2020, p.54]

    From its newly incorporated next-gen technology down to its rooted and representative backstory, Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcases some of the best capabilities of the PS5. A short but fun sequel to the groundbreaking Spider-Man for PS4 that’s more than worthy as a successor.
