Generally this game is fantastic, but the mid-game back-to-back boss fights are completely annoying. I realize that as an open world game that I do have some choice in this, but the story heavily encourages you to pursue it. The hunters kidnap Miles and that means you have no access to one of the Spider-men during that time. Even worse is that you are locked into a sequence of a couple of them with no ability to come back later as you would normally expect in an open world game. Thus if you play it through to its mid-game conclusion you are getting 3 back to back Boss fights with multiple health bar bosses. The main problem is that the game has not adequately prepared you for these fights because the bosses have multiple interrupts and successive attacks that do heavy damage. It takes away from some great story moments.

Ultimately I got through them all, but it made me think. Are there any “good” boss battles? I find that the vast majority of games the boss battles are just annoying and not rewarding. The only exception I ran into was games like Elden Ring, where the punishing boss battles are one of the main attractions of the game and you gain a huge sense of accomplishment when you get past them.

Been having a blast with the game. The new combat mechanics, the traversal, the story. Got about 40 hours of play time. My kids started asking to play a lot so I finally encouraged them to start their own game. Love the fact it has a Friendly Neighborhood setting with no deaths and relaxed fighting. It is quite a challenge to manage all the gadgets and powers but my 8 year old was getting it.

At some point the game crashed and she restarted it and ended up in the save selection menu wherein she accidentally deleted my save. She was just buttoning thru too fast to get back to the game and wasn’t paying attention. ☹️ Unfortunately cloud saves had already synced.

I was in the third act of the game and I was fairly excited to see how it ends, but now I am not sure I can bring myself to start it up again just yet. Ugh. Very disappointed.

Now I can hope that they really push the community based FNSM quests as a bigger focus in the third game. I know it will have the big AAA set pieces but I hope we get a lot more low key moments.

Woof, Miles’ final suit is seriously brutal. Who at Insomniac said “this nasty ass thing screams Miles to me”? It’s especially bad considering how gorgeous Miles’ Into and Across the Universe suits are. Such a shame.

So now Pete is Anti-Venom. Look, I get that it’s fun to see a bunch of Spider-Man and Venom characters all in one story is fun for the sake of nostalgia, but this game just feels like it’s rushing through every reference it can make instead of focusing. The entire Flame storyline was just a plot device to foreshadow Carnage, but it took up a quarter of the game throwing fairly uninteresting content at the player. This game needs to shed a lot of its excess. And the sad part is that excess comes at the expense of FNSM mission, of which there are only a handful. That balance feels significantly off, and I would have preferred fewer repetitive combat missions (Flame, Blinds, Sandman crystals, Venom Zombies, etc.) and far more FNSM quests. And I’m not saying nix the combat, because plenty of FNSM quests have combat. I wish they had trimmed the fat, cut at least a third of the Kraven storyline, dropped the Flame quests completely, reduced the number of repeats quest and collectable types (42 spider-bots? For real? Yeah I get the reference, but that’s a lot of busy work). I’m in exchange they could have given us at least twice as many (or more) crafted character driven moments via FNSM. That balance is much closer in Miles Morales, and I have a feeling that’s the only title in the series so far that will bare repeat playthroughs, at least from me.

Fuck yeah! Now we are talking!!!

Not only did the game give me exactly what I predicted Peter as a baddie and Miles having to defeat him to remove the suit now I’m playing as Venom and listening to Tony Todd’s sweet sweet voice!. I can forgive the busy work now because this game is cooking!

The balance of FNSM missions to busy work is off. There are far too few meaningful FNSM missions and hours pass between them. Meanwhile every time I clear out one set of busy work activities another set with activities all around the city pop up. Quality over quantity Insomniac, and this game is squarely falling in the latter camp 😞

I disabled the coms satellite in a hunter base, and the objective is crossed out in my objectives list. Picking of the last few enemies stealthily and suddenly that objective is no longer crossed off, and a bunch of new enemies rappel in despite the fact that the game indicates that I haven't alerted anyone.

I'm in one of the hunter bases and enemies have stopped responding to my distractions. I've even pulled down whole structures near them and they don't bat an eye.

I'm in one of the hunter bases and enemies have stopped responding to my distractions. I've even pulled down whole structures near them and they don't bat an eye. Makes stealth somewhat of a pain if I can't get enemies to reposition themselves. I also foolishly rebooted the game during the level, only to lose all my progress in the mission. Ironically I made a manual save, and that begs the question, what is the point of a manual save if your progress is completely reset to the beginning of the mission?

Dare I say, this is the first time I've played an Insomniac game that doesn't feel 100% polished?

Some of the strongest moments in this game involve Miles interacting with the people of New York, both in and out of costume. That really outweighs any of the combat, large set pieces or other more gamey aspects of the experience in my opinion.

Kraven is a deeply disappointing villain, made worse by the fact that he’s essentially just a plot device.

This game feels a lot less focused than the first, and a considerably more stuffed with collectables and uninteresting filler. Miles is still the best part of this, with much better combat flow than Peter, despite their similarities. There are too many cameos from side characters from the comics, with their own distractions, and too few moments populated by regular people, a strength of Miles Morales. Much of the game is clearly modeled after the MCU, something the first two were not, and something that doesn't excite me. This is still a pretty great game, but it squarely feels like a game made under pressures to meet certain brand goals, something that Insomniac games have historically felt exempt from. I'm worried about an Insomniac that is perpetually tied down by pumping out Marvel content, and I sincerely hope they get a chance to continue to work on other, potentially more interesting projects.
