Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a 2020

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 the Roxxon Energy Corporation and a high-tech criminal army called the Underground, led by the mysterious Tinkerer
.

Gameplay is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Miles' traversal and combat abilities.

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

Windows version was later released in November 2022. The game received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its combat, narrative, content, and technical improvements of the PlayStation 5 version, while facing some criticism over its short length. It sold over 10.2 million units. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which acts as a sequel to the first game and a direct continuation of Miles Morales, released on October 20, 2023, as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.[1]

Gameplay

The core gameplay of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the same of its predecessor. It features the same

skill tree
system. Another feature that the game offers is Miles' Spider-Man app which gives him feedback on crimes happening in New York City and the location of these crimes. It informs the player of any side missions that are available for them to complete, which is beneficial to level up.

Miles possesses a "spider sense", which warns the player of incoming attacks and allows them to dodge and retaliate, and

web-shooters, which fire lines of webs that can be used during both traversal and combat, in several different ways. Miles can also jump large distances, stick to surfaces, and fast travel using the New York City Subway
system. There are several unlockable suits for Miles, some of which are based on existing versions of the character in media, as well as original suits created for the game. Many of these enhance Miles' abilities, such as allowing him to take more damage, stay invisible for a longer time, or regenerate Venom Power faster. During certain sections of the game, players control Miles in his civilian persona and cannot use any of his abilities or gadgets.

Synopsis

Characters and setting

The narrative of the game continues from where

Rio Morales (Jacqueline Piñol) in her campaign for City Council and defending his new home from a violent war between the corrupt Roxxon Energy Corporation and a high-tech criminal army known as the Underground.[2]

Aside from Miles, Parker, and Rio, the game features several other returning characters from Marvel's Spider-Man, including the supervillain

Jefferson Davis (Russell Richardson), appears in a voice-only role. Norman's son Harry
is also featured in a non-speaking appearance in the mid-credits scene via a first-person perspective.

The new cast includes Miles' best friend and classmate

Danika Hart (Ashly Burch); deaf street artist Hailey Cooper (Natasha Ofili); bodega owner Teo Alvarez (Yancey Arias); Caleb's Clean Cuts barber Caleb Ward (Emerson Brooks); Pana Fuerte restaurateur Camila Vasquez (Krizia Bajos); and Miles' childhood best friend Phin Mason (Jasmin Savoy Brown), who seeks to avenge the death of her brother and Miles' other friend Rick (Todd Williams) as the Tinkerer, the figurehead of the Underground.[3][4][5] The mid-credits scene introduces Dr. Curt Connors
, who is voiced by an uncredited actor.

Plot

After more than a year of training under Peter Parker,

Symkaria
for a few weeks to assist Mary Jane as her photographer as she does her story on the country's civil war, and entrusts Miles to look after New York in his absence as its sole Spider-Man.

Later, Miles investigates a break-in at Roxxon Plaza and stops a hi-tech criminal group called the Underground from stealing Roxxon's new experimental power source, Nuform. Returning home to celebrate Christmas with Rio and Ganke, Miles is surprised to learn that Rio also invited Phin, with whom he has not spoken in months. The next day, Ganke creates a Spider-Man app so citizens can call Miles for help directly. Miles' uncle, Aaron Davis, is the first to use it and reveals his knowledge of his nephew's identity as Spider-Man.

Miles soon witnesses the conflict between the Underground and Roxxon escalate, as the former attack one of Rio's campaign rallies in front of Roxxon Plaza and a Roxxon transport carrying Nuform on the Braithwaite Bridge. Miles tries to prevent the Underground from stealing the Nuform, discovering Phin is the Tinkerer in the process, but his Venom Power causes most of the Nuform to explode, destroying the bridge and damaging his public image. Ganke gives him a peptalk and reminds Miles that for now, he is New York's only Spider-Man, encouraging Miles to become better and making his own unique Spider-Man costume in the process. While investigating Phin's connection to the Underground, Miles discovers that her brother Rick created Nuform during his work for Roxxon, but soon became sick due to its unstable properties. Phin and Rick sought to expose the dangers of Nuform to the public, but while trying to shut down a Nuform reactor, the latter was killed by Krieger, who subsequently took credit for Nuform's creation. With the help of Aaron as the Prowler, Miles infiltrates a Roxxon lab to retrieve Phin's phone containing evidence of Krieger's crimes, but the phone is destroyed during his escape.

At Aaron's advice, Miles uses his friendship with Phin to infiltrate the Underground and learn more about their plans. He discovers that Phin created the Underground's advanced weaponry out of a special component, programmable matter, in exchange for their help in exacting revenge on Krieger, which she plans to achieve by sabotaging the Nuform reactor at Roxxon Plaza to destroy it and expose Nuform's dangerous side effects. However, Miles is soon forced to reveal his identity as Spider-Man to Phin in order to save his own life, souring their friendship. While meeting with Phin to try and reconcile with her, the two are captured by Roxxon with the aid of Rhino, whose exosuit has been enhanced by Roxxon tech. Miles and Phin escape, but the former learns that Aaron has been spying on him for Roxxon and that Krieger modified the plaza's Nuform reactor to destroy Harlem if Phin's plan succeeds. After being defeated, Rhino taunts Phin about Rick's death, causing her to viciously attack him. Miles intervenes to stop her from killing Rhino, but a furious Phin escapes after knocking Miles out.

Ganke brings an injured Miles home, where Rio discovers her son's identity as Spider-Man, but continues to support him. After recovering, Miles heads off to stop Phin, but is captured by Aaron, who imprisons him underground to prevent him from being killed like his father Jefferson Davis, whom Aaron was unable to reconcile with prior to his death, resulting in his over protectiveness of Miles. Miles escapes and defeats Aaron, explaining that he cannot turn his back on people when they need him. Inspired by his nephew's words, Aaron assists Rio with evacuating Harlem as the Underground and Roxxon fight on the streets, allowing Miles to head to Roxxon Plaza to stop Phin.

Unable to reason with Phin, Miles fights her before attempting to absorb the Nuform from the reactor to negate the blast, but the amount of energy proves too much to handle. Phin, realizing the error of her ways, flies Miles to a safe distance above the city so that he can release the energy, killing her in the process. Miles plummets to the ground, where his identity is exposed to a few citizens he helped as Spider-Man, who promise to keep his secret and hail him as a hero.

Four weeks later, Roxxon has been dealt numerous lawsuits, Krieger has been arrested following Aaron turning himself in and testifying against Krieger, and Miles is hailed not only as a superhero, but the local Spider-Man of Harlem. Peter returns home from Symkaria and praises Miles for his growth and heroism before they head off to fight crime together.

In a mid-credits scene, Norman Osborn orders a reluctant Curt Connors to release his terminally ill son Harry from stasis despite the latter's unstable condition.

In a post-credits scene, Miles leaves an award he won with Phin atop Trinity Church in her memory.

Development

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[6][7][8] Sony vice president Simon Rutter told The Telegraph that the game is "an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game",[9] while Insomniac later called the project a standalone game, stating that it is "the next adventure in the Marvel's Spider-Man universe".[10] It is smaller in size and scope than Spider-Man, and has been compared to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a game which served as a standalone expansion that was smaller in size and scope than a mainline Uncharted title.[9][10][11]
