Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS4)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales geht zwar nicht ganz als ein Spider-Man 2 durch, kommt aber verdammt nah dran. Wer mit vielen ähnlichen Abläufen, Gegnern und generischen Storywendungen leben kann, bekommt hier ein wirklich gelungenes Abenteuer im Spider-Man-Universum serviert, welches vor allem den Mann hinter der Maske und seine menschlichen Seiten gelungen durchleuchtet.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a fantastic follow-up, telling a wonderful story while improving upon the fundamentals of the first game.

Just like Into the Spider-Verse, I was pleasantly surprised by Miles Morales. I came in fully expecting it to be a side story, but it was much more than that.

And yet, despite its frantic pace, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a compelling open-world action game that helps highlight why Miles is so special: his culture. It's Miles' unique differences and earnest attempts at figuring out how to protect his community that make him into such a wonderful hero, not the mask he wears and superpowers he wields.

The new Spider-Man's adventure is shorter and more focused, but is still an exhilarating blast.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a brilliant expansion of Insomniac's beloved superhero adventure from 2018. It shows why Miles Morales is, arguably, the franchise's greatest strength, while also proving how much of an impact the next generation will have on visuals and performance. If you're picking up a PS5, this is essential.
