Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Based on the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales, it is inspired by both the character's decade-long comic book mythology and appearances in other media. The game is a spin-off and follow-up to Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), and the second installment in Insomniac's Spider-Man series. The narrative focuses on Miles' struggle to balance the duties of his civilian persona and his role as the second Spider-Man when his new home, Harlem, is threatened by a war between a high-tech criminal army called the Underground, led by the mysterious Tinkerer, and the Roxxon Energy Corporation. Gameplay is presented from the third-person perspective, with a primary focus on Miles' traversal and combat abilities. Miles can freely move around New York City, interacting with characters, undertaking missions, and unlocking new gadgets and suits by progressing through the main story or completing tasks. Outside the story, the player is able to complete side missions to unlock additional content and collectible items. Combat focuses on chaining attacks together and using the environment, webs, and Venom attacks to incapacitate numerous foes while avoiding damage. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was officially revealed in June 2020 and launched that November for the PlayStation 4 and as a launch title for the PlayStation 5. A Windows version was later released in November 2022 and received generally favourable reviews from critics, with praise for its combat, narrative, content, and technical improvements of the PlayStation 5 version, though its short length received some criticism. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which acts as a sequel to the first game and a direct continuation of Miles Morales, was released for the PlayStation 5 in October 2023.
