VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “If Spider-Man was Insomniac’s rebuttal to this titular hero’s decaying status within games, Miles Morales is its claim that story opportunities beyond Peter Parker are also worthwhile. From beginning to end, I came in with the tempered expectations of a ‘sidequel’ and got just that. The challenge with such stories is in cementing meaningful distinctions; that endeavor succeeds and stumbles between gameplay and story respectively. The nuanced action vocabulary is engaging and focused, but the emotional context propelling said fights can feel deflated by erratic storytelling.”
