A first-time superhero
The events of Marvel’s Spider-Man showed us how Peter Parker saved New York City from the enormous threat posed by Doctor Octopus. Although he had to pay a heavy price, the title also made it clear that he would soon start fighting with a new ally against unexpected crime.
That’s Miles Morales, a teenager who moves to the East Harlem neighborhood for Christmas, which is a convulsive change in his life. He must try to take care of his friends, support his mother Rio against the Roxxon Energy Corporation and discover powers that are very difficult for him to control. Spider-Man’s mask and the responsibility of being a hero will fall on him to defend the Big Apple during Peter’s work leave.
The main battle is against the chemical company, which is building its new experimentation center in the heart of your home. While Miles has received basic training as a web shooter from Peter, he won’t be alone in his crusade against the company’s evil plans. Ganke Lee will accompany him, since his role is that of a best friend, confidant and software developer to give him technological support in everything he needs.
New Spider-Man, new powers
Now yes, once the protagonist puts on his characteristic tights, he has to go out to patrol the streets. Webbing, super strength, the ability to stick to any surface, and superhuman agility are part of Miles’ repertoire of abilities, but he has a couple of aces up his sleeve which the original Spider-Man does not possess.
Specifically, he can make use of poison burst bioelectric attacks, which are lethal against his opponents and also serve to get a greater boost during swings. As if that were not enough, criminals are unable to detect the good of thousands due to their power of camouflage. In a single instant he becomes invisible, making locating him almost impossible and stealth attacking highly beneficial.
For the rest we enjoy the same possibilities in the 2020 game as in the 2018 game. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales offers us spectacular combat sequences in which we have the baton over all the action, making use of the networks, the urban furniture, the infallible spider sense and some devastating blows.
As if the story mode were not enough, there are many secondary tasks to be carried out in the game. We can fight in warring gang hideouts, activities that we find by surprise in New York and unlock the different costumes that Miles can wear. Of course, they can look luxurious in the always desired Photo Mode. All this has earned him a fabulous 88 on Metacritic.
