Game Informer: "Should you wait to play the game until after you upgrade your console or just dive in now on PS4? We have the answer."
Our Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 review covers combat, DualSense support, performance modes, story and value, helping you decide if this shorter spin off is worth web-slinging into.
I’m amazed that this is now a 5 year old game, this gen feels like it’s barely just got going.
Good review, but mostly struck that we take it as read that a game that has a stated length of “8-12 hours (main story), 15-20 hours (story + side content and trophies)” is talked about as a short game.
That’s because we’re still playing damn PS4 games. This is hands down the worst generation I’ve ever experienced. It used to be that when a generation came along it was a new era of gaming. The PS2 era wasn’t cross-gen’ing with PS1 and PS1 wasn’t, uh… well, you get the picture.
Can’t wait to buy a PS6 to play a majority of PS5 games.
That's why people bought the Switch 2, to buy a brunch of upgraded Switch 1 games... This gen as been so awful, hopefully it will be somewhat saved, by the end of this gen by eastern and indie Devs with games like Wukong, Stellar Blade, expedition 33.and some future releases
I agree regarding the comments about game length. On a whole, the length of a game is a rather superficial way of judging it's value for money.
And it's also very subjective. For me, under 8 hours feels like a short game. 8-20 hours is a 'good length'. Anything more I consider to be a long game (and if I'm not really invested, long games risk me losing interest quickly).
I’m with you, 6-10 hours is pretty much my sweet spot, and with the amount I game now being a lot less than when I was a kid, that still equals probably 2-3 weeks of gameplay.
Insomniac Games mastered the PS5, and now they've upgraded their games for PS5 Pro, bringing new ray tracing effects and performance modes.
SpiderMan 2 came out last year. You expect Insomniac to pump out games every year ?
Insomniac released ratchet in 2021, Spider-Man in 2023 and people would still say they aren’t releasing enough games. It’s insane the expectations people have just because things are delivered so easily to them. No balance
No idea why you people are so square.. it’s not Insomniac who released the Pro it’s sony .. if Sony want people to buy the console they need to show new games. Enhancements of existing games is a given thing everyone would expect
@jznrpg @Cacabunga
You both bring up good points. However, slow game releases are a natural result of increased hardware capabilities. We've seen this happen more each gen.
@baba
I do not agree.. Sony is playing lazy and spilling money into gaas because there is no competition.. competition last two gens is what made Sony step it up the way they did.
@Cacabunga
Ok. What do you disagree with? What you said is plausible to a degree yet not mutually exclusive to what I said. Need clarification
PlayStation's Back to School sale includes big discounts on a bunch of PS5 exclusives, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.
But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.
I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.
It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly
@just_looken
I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.
If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.
You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.
lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.
Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.
@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.
It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.
Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.
Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?
Using the same map/location is not a problem.
On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.
The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?
Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.
Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao
Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol
"lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.
But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.
Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.
And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”
And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I
“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”
Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.
Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.
I live without blinders unlike others.
“I live without blinders unlike others.“
🤣😂🤣 thanks for the laugh. Have a good night brother. Fight that good fight your fighting.
He is a duplicate account. He changes names to get a new lease on life and people would respond to him. Sad indeed.
Definitely more than an expansion pack... the Miles Morales game from 2020 is that... ya silly goose
It's gorgeous on PS4 as well.
Im sure it’s just as fun on PS4 but I’m looking forward to the bells and whistles of PS5
I purposely didn't purchase some of the AAA titles end of PS4 Gen just so I could play the inevitable PS5 versions. I havent played Ghost of Tsushima yet and cant wait to play it at its best.
