[News] Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales PC review: Friendly Neighborhood PC Port

[FazzNoth]

With the excellent Spider-Man: Miles Morales now on PC, let’s talk about how Sony isn’t getting it and how supersampling is going to save gaming.

 

Sony and their plethora of first-party games are back in focus, as Spider-Man: Miles Morales is now available on PC. A superb, condensed adventure through the lens of the new, teenage Spider-Man, it’s yet another walk down recent memory lane.

Just like with the Uncharted PC port, there’s nothing new to talk about the game here. Miles is a great character, maybe one of Brian Michael Bendis’ best creations since Ultimate Spider-Man.The superhero moments and the bombast? Perfection. Miles and his early-years reactions to things like Rhino, or trying to keep his secret identity is priceless – if a little lost in the noise of a fairly predictable villain arc.

Spider-Man is a button masher
I will say that, with Batman: Arkham Asylum being over 10 years old at this point, its combat system feels tired. Insomniac know that it was the only way to accurately portray Spider-Man in a modern video game context, but the overall bashing of buttons and the requirement to hold them for certain combos makes combat sometimes feel like a chore.

For a company renowned for going above and beyond to add new flavors of powers to the repertoire, it does feel like they hinged too much on gadgets rather than Miles himself. Although the addition of new powers and options is welcome, if you didn’t enjoy Marvel’s Spider-Man’s combat, you can safely skip Miles Morales.Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an excellent romp, the tastier, Diet Coke version of the original’s full-fat experience. It never outstays its welcome and the rhythm it puts out is far more enjoyable than the slog some of these open-world games can fall into.
