Spider-Man Miles Morales review: Worthy successor to a great game

‘Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ is a standalone sequel to Insomniac Games’ highly successful ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ — the PlayStation-exclusive released in 2018 that is still regarded as one of the best superhero games ever made.

The latest spinoff retains much of what was good from the original game, but it also brings some definitive changes that seem a natural extension of the titular character, who is just learning the ropes of being a web-slinging vigilante. Released alongside the PS5, it also leverages the features of the new high-powered console.

STORYLINE

Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes place in New York, nearly a year after the original PS4 game, in which time our protagonist has moved back to Harlem, with his mother Rio Morales.
