Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a third-person action-adventure game and a standalone continuation of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018).

The game features unlockable suits, gadgets, and a skill tree progression system.
What it’s like
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a tightly crafted, linear action-adventure experience that prioritizes emotional resonance and kinetic joy over sprawling open-world complexity. Set against a vibrant, snow-dusted New York City, the narrative focuses on Miles’s personal journey of self-discovery and responsibility, anchored by exceptional voice acting and character dynamics that give weight to every side mission. The gameplay loop is refined and fluid, emphasizing the unique thrill of web-swinging with near-instantaneous traversal thanks to modern hardware acceleration. Combat remains accessible yet satisfying, blending acrobatic parkour with Miles’s distinct bio-electric abilities. While it retains the familiar structure of its predecessor, the shorter, more focused runtime ensures a consistent, high-energy pace without filler. The craft is defined by stunning visual fidelity and an atmospheric winter setting that makes every swing feel weighty and impactful, delivering a polished, cinematic superhero fantasy.
