About a year and a half ago, during one of the lockdowns, I played and completed Spiderman on the PlayStation 4. At about 20 or so hours, the game was not crazy long if you critical pathed it but there are lots of side missions a la Assassins Creed, where icons splooged all over the screen, and the annoying ‘stealth’ missions where you played as Mary Jane and Miles felt like padding in an otherwise impeccable game.

Miles Morales is a more streamlined experience and has you enjoy the best bits of the game without the extraneous ‘pipe dream’ or stealth rubbish. Instead what you get is a gorgeous 12 to 15 hour experience that is streamlined and all the better for it. Check out the screenshots from my playthrough.
