Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is Insomniac Games' 2020 spin-off, released as a PS5 launch title (and on PS4, later PC). It follows Miles, who has been learning from Peter Parker, as he becomes Harlem's Spider-Man while Peter is away. A conflict between an energy corporation called Roxxon and a high-tech gang called the Underground puts Miles and his neighbourhood in danger.

His venom powers let him charge up electric attacks, and he can turn invisible with camouflage, which opens up stealth options. His animations have a slightly scrappier feel, fitting a younger hero. The snowy, festive New York setting makes it look gorgeous.

The main story is much shorter than other big open-world games, roughly 8 to 10 hours, so a few sessions can get you through it. It is also a good way to try a PS5 game without committing to a long adventure.

Recommended setup
PS5 is ideal.

PS4 and PC versions also exist. A large screen with good sound makes the city look and feel amazing. Rated T.
