Miles Morales suffers from direct comparison with its predecessor, and the profile shows it plainly.

Gameplay ranks above 76% of the catalog, and social at 85%, both solid results. The desert island criterion lands around the middle at 51%. Everything else falls behind: story at 32%, art direction at 34%, emotional connection at 13%, world uniqueness at 14%, sound design at 14%. These scores are noticeably lower than Spider-Man Remastered on the same criteria. The game plays well, but does not leave a lasting impression.

For an open world action game, this is a mixed profile. The gameplay holds up, but the game does not establish a strong enough identity of its own against the rest of the catalog.

Who's it for? Fans of the first Spider-Man looking to extend the experience on PS5, or anyone wanting a short and accessible entry point into the genre. Those who have not played Remastered may find it enjoyable but forgettable. Those who have will clearly feel the difference in scale.
