Not much changes and that is reflected in the game. Players are free to tackle most scenarios as they please, but it’s clear that Miles’ abilities suit the Sam Fisher style.įor the sake of difference, it’s a good job the two Spideys feel different. That’s not to say Miles is a one trick pony, far from the case. Spider-Man: Miles Morales definitely encourages a stealth approach, whereas the previous entry seemed comfortable letting players brute force their way through combat. Not just in how the control but in how you approach combat too. It’s an important difference too, the two Spider-Men feel completely different. Without giving too much away, Miles manages to stand out from Peter thanks to his unique abilities in combat. The visuals are smooth, the combat is more fluid. The game is an all round refinement of the previous instalment into the series. Still coming to terms with the death of his father, plus the very difficult task of being New York’s sole protector helps mould Miles into a character you cannot help but love. One that is seldom seen in videogame heroes of the past. The game follows his story, as Miles overcomes his self doubt, as he aims to come from behind the shadow of the ‘real’ Spider-Man. It’s a big ask of Miles, who is still understanding his new powers. Miles is left in charge of keeping New York safe after Peter takes a well deserved holiday with MJ. With the added pressure of a new console launch, there was a lot of expectation on Insomniac to get this game right. Despite that, filling the boots of a character like Peter Parker will always bring a character under scrutiny. The change isn’t entirely unexpected, with Miles developing his Spidey symptoms at the end of the previous game. For the first time, Miles Morales will be stepping into the lead role of his own videogame. This instalment does not feature Peter Parker as its star. Given the success Spider-Man had on the PlayStation 4, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to find it at the heart of Sony’s PlayStation 5 launch.
