![]() The weaving of Miles Morales into the story is also done, for the most part, wonderfully, even though it starts to become heavy-handed and a little forced in the later parts of the campaign. There’s a strong theme of revenge that unfortunately I wish was unpacked a bit more, as the main attraction and focus is the outlandish set pieces. The story itself isn’t going to win any awards, but it does what it sets out to do: create engaging scenarios for the comic book superhero to dish out his wit. They even put Martin Li, AKA Mister Negative, at the forefront of the plot, which is a fantastic choice considering he’s a less known villain in the universe. ![]() I believe you can find one character who’s more affiliated with other Marvel properties, but he’s part of a line of extracurricular activities.

Like the more recent Tom Holland films, this isn’t an origin story for Spider-Man and Peter Parker, as the Webhead has been fighting crime for at least eight years up until this point. That’s not to say he’s a one trick pony as there are some dire situations where he will show a larger range of emotions, but just expect to hear a lot of jokes throughout your ten to fifteen-hour playthrough.
