Spider-Man Miles Morales Top Up The “Spider-Cop” storyline was cringe-worthy in 2018 five years after the Black Lives Matter movement began to coalesce. It has aged even worse in the past year as fresh protests against police brutality have erupted across the world. This year’s follow-up game Spider-Man: Miles Morales whose hero is a Black-Puerto Rican teen offered Insomniac an opportunity to address these criticisms. But while the game is a joy to play—with a wonderful cast of characters and a new set of thrilling Spidey powers—it also bends over backwards to avoid any nuanced conversation about criminal justice. In fact the police have largely been removed from the game skirting the issue entirely.

This time it’s Spidey-in-training Miles Morales who will be put to the test while Peter Parker is on vacation. Trading in a sunny New York City for a wintertime city under siege by two opposing forced Miles Morales let’s players explore Spidey’s world like never before on the PlayStation.
On paper “Spider-Man: Miles Morales” seems pretty straightforward: It’s the follow-up to Insomniac Games’ wildly successful “Spider-Man,” a 2018 PlayStation 4 exclusive that dropped everyone’s favorite webslinger into an open-world Manhattan and allowed him to zip around the New York skyline in a friendly gravity-defying riff on “Grand Theft Auto.” But a strange identity crisis sets in almost as soon as players swing back into action and that cognitive dissonance only grows as you careen through the game’s electric 10-hour-plus campaign.
