The first reviews are in for Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and they're definitely positive! There's been a huge amount of excitement surrounding the game - it's clearly the most must-have title coming to the PlayStation 5 on launch day - and Insomniac have clearly produced yet another hit for Sony.
However, the biggest takeaway appears to be that it's an amazing, but relatively short experience.
"It's high-key set piece after high-key set piece for most of its 11-hour runtime, with very little time reserved for quiet moments of reflection," reads GameSpot's review. Games Radar echoes that point, noting: "Even if you were expecting a small 'full' game, this is smaller. It plays like great DLC, because it is great and also clearly DLC, rather than a stand-alone expansion."
Despite that, there's really nothing too bad to say, with Eurogamer explaining, "Spider-Man: Miles Morales' message of hope feels like the right sentiment for this very moment. It's escapism with a social conscience, a timely, tremendous thing right now. Insomniac's second crack at Spider-Man retains the breathless energy of the original, but ends up a lot like Miles Morales himself - still fresh on its feet, a little awkward in places, but steadily growing into itself."
The Sixth Axis sums up their review with a mostly positive, "Spider-Man: Miles Morales feels like more of a sequel than it is a stopgap, entangling players within its web of cleverly refined mechanics while delivering some familiar web-slinging thrills. A heroic technical showcase for PS5 owners picking up their consoles on day one, this meaty side story in the Spider-Man saga has us even more excited than before to see what Insomniac Games have planned next."
That gives you a good idea of what to expect, but there are plenty of other reviews out there from a wide variety of sites doing the rounds (Digital Spy, for example, says: "Miles Morales is a brilliant follow-up to a fantastic PlayStation-exclusive franchise that will likely tempt over many gamers on the fence to buy the PS5, just so they can experience this wondrous story").
