Miles is capable of drawing in a crowd, impacting all of them simultaneously, and then instantly switching to a stealth tactic for one-on-one combat.
Peter played best when you could single out an opponent and eliminate them while moving quickly between multiple combat sequences. While it was easy for combat in the original to occasionally feel repetitive, fighting as Miles is on an entirely different level. Miles has some unique abilities, most notably his Venom Strike and temporary invisibility.īeing able to deal devastating single blows and then vanish completely requires a few more buttons you weren't using when you played as Peter, and that makes the variety of attacks and combat styles significantly more varied. It doesn't take long for the obvious differences between Miles and Peter to make themselves apparent in gameplay. Combat is mostly the same, though new villain types mean you need to vary your techniques as you fight. Everything is based on the original gameplay engines, so swinging through the city and interacting with the world all feels exactly the same. If you've played the original, you already understand most of the gameplay mechanics here. Putting the controller down is basically impossible. Watching this unfold as you play is genuinely heartwarming. All Miles really wants to do is spend time with his friends but he feels this calling and gives it everything he's got and more. At one point someone thanks Miles for his help and he replies "Physics is the real hero!" and moves on. Miles can't make himself drop quips in the middle of a fight like Peter can. That might seem obvious, but it's an important part of Miles' character and growth, and the game does such an incredible job focusing on this. This detail is incredibly important because Miles Morales is not Peter Parker at all. This is why when Peter leaves for Europe for a few weeks with MJ, Miles finds himself struggling to be the kind of Spider-Man everyone thinks he should be instead of being the purest version of himself. Not only does he know this on the inside, but everyone in NYC regularly reminds him he's "the other Spider-Man" when he helps out. Being taught how to be Spider-Man is cool, but he's not Peter. For Miles, however, things are a little less great.
