Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

[partious]

I finished this a couple of days ago. I haven’t played the Spider-man game, but recently got a year of psplus extra in the sale and this is the ps5 version whereas Spider-Man isn’t, so I went with this. 

Overall, I liked it. Fun gameplay and didn’t outstay its welcome, which is extremely rare for a big budget game these days.

 

I played for an hour or two on the high graphics setting then switched to performance. Yet another experience that makes it 100% crystal clear that 60fps is massively more important than graphics. 

 

I sort of feel like the open world was largely wasted, but I guess that might be somewhat unavoidable when you’re playing as Spider-Man. There’s a big open world New York , but I just zipped above it from one place to the next and don’t really feel like I experienced much in terms of the world. Any time I tried running around the streets etc, it didn’t seem very interesting.

 

Anyway, I’m grateful that this game was about 10 hours long, and not padded out to 30. I wish there were more AAA games of a similar length to play on psplus etc, instead of the many games that insist on dragging a similar level of children’s tv show quality story out for 35 hours+.

Yeah, there's nothing in the open world at all. Whilst it's a reasonable facsimile of the NY layout, there's nothing to experience there other than the lightest of virtual tourism. It's just there to give you stuff to swing through.

I finished it some time before Xmas but every day this week I’ve had a congratulatory email from PlayStation about it 

 

 

edit. As of Sunday I’m still getting them  

 

edit: as of Tuesday night they're still coming through. Feel the love.

I'm not going to platinum it, but having also picked up a year of Plus Extra on the cheap, I finished this about twenty minutes ago.

 

Good game. Free of a lot of the bloat that the main game suffered from, although the main antagonist being a complete imbecile - a super intelligent imbecile, or so we're led to believe - was a bit of a drawback.

Beat the main missions and now on to the real game... swinging around the city and taking silly screenshots.

 

Spoiler

 

Well actually I might not do too much of this, because the screenshots come out really washed out by default when you play in HDR on PC.

If you bought the PS4 game, you can now upgrade to the PS5 version that comes with DLC for £5.

If you're in the market for playing it for the first time then pick up an el cheapo PS4 copy from CEX before they cotton on.
