Going for platinum on all 3 Spiderman games. Miles Morales completely changed my mind about needing a break.
Recently finished Miles Morales after grinding through Spider-Man Remastered platinum trophy and completing all of its DLCs. Honestly I went in expecting to feel a bit tired of the same formula but instead I was amazed. I finished the game within a week with about 18 hours of play for the platinum.
Playing as Miles from start to finish this time made such a difference, no MJ missions!! His arc really got to me, going from this nervous kid to stepping up and actually becoming Spider-Man, learning what responsibility really means along the way. The stuff with his mom, Ganke and Phin felt so real, there's this random Christmas table scene that may not be that significant but I just sat there watching the whole thing. Plus having Ganke as a side kick was so cool.
Villains felt a bit generic, Roxxon and Underground doing the same corporate manipulation thing Sable and Fisk did in the first game. Didn't really miss having a strong villain though, the game didn't need one.
Talking about the gameplay. The traversal felt so much better this time. Miles is just more agile and fun to swing around as. That first black suit moment with the music hit hard, genuinely one of my favorite scenes in either game. The bridge sequence and final fight both felt like something out of a movie.
Combat wise the venom abilities added were cool. The mix of main quests and side content felt well balanced. Prowler was annoying though. And not to forget that Cat Spider-Man was hilarious and fun to watch.
Platinum was so much less grind than the original. The FNSM app made crime easy and the shorter length actually worked in its favor for me.
Just watched Brand New Day, so I am thinking to dive straight into Spider-Man 2 next. Should I go ahead? Also what are your thoughts about the game compared to the first one? Which one you guys loved more?
