This is a review of the PS4 version run on a PS5. This version of the game includes a physical PS4 disc and a digital PS5 version. I plan to transfer my PS4 save to the PS5 version and pop every trophy for double Platinum. This is not possible to do the other way round (PS5 to PS4 version).
The game is superb and runs almost flawlessly on the PS4. Spider-man Miles Morales set a year after the events of Spider-man PS4 (Remastered on PS5), where Miles Morales is getting to grips with his powers, a certain major event in Spider-man PS4, and Peter is on holiday in Europe with MJ, leaving New York City without any experienced defence against criminals and bad guys. It's upto Miles to take up the Spider-man mantle and defend the city.
You start off with Peter to take down a rampaging Rhino through malls and a massive chase through the city, where eventually it leads to Roxxon headquarters and the main story begins. As you progress through the game, the people of Harlem and New York City see a different superhero with similar abilities to Peter Parker and start questioning whether they are the next big thing. After another major event (as seen at E3 and Comiccon close to the game's release) they realise the real problems are between Roxxon and the Underground, a group of resistance fighters who are against Roxxon's energy activity, and also have massive resources themselves.
The game has a range of main bad guys with conflicts of interest and relationships to Spider-man and they are superbly and intricately fleshed out. I'm not going to go into spoilers but the only real complaint I have with the story is the main bad guy representing Roxxon, Simon Krieger, has not been fleshed out enough as a real threat and is just a generic rich corporate boss who pays others to do the dirty work.
Like Spider-man PS4, this game is incredibly easy to pick up and play. You have all of the basic moves from Spider-man PS4, but what makes Miles different to Peter are his new abilities. Miles goes through an accident during the first mission and obtains new "Venom" powers (no relation to the character Venom), they become almost an essential resource to your gameplay. As you go through the game and obtaining new abilities and new ways of gameplay, you become engrossed with the development of Miles as a Spider-man. There is another ability you obtain later in the game which brilliantly expands on this but I'm not going to spoil it here.
There are new skill trees in the game, and they are unlockable in the three categories combat, traversal and stealth. Each category has three challenges each through the map of New York City for you to tackle and progress, all leading to a Final Test. No spoilers here but it is a tough challenge, and you need to be very adept in your awareness abilities to beat it.
Throughout the game you have Activities and Crimes to do, all logged into a list, available with a left swipe of the touchpad. This is a great addition to keep tabs on what is available and what you need to do.
However one major downside is when you complete the Activities in the game (all except one which is locked until you beat the game for the first time), well, let's just say that they just couldn't help themselves. I'm not going to reduce the rating of this review because it is just one thing, but some could easily ram 1 stars solely for this one thing. Just a heads up.
The game has a grain filter on by default which does slightly dull the graphics and colour. You can reduce this in the in game menus and vastly improve the graphics and the colour, everything pops with a modern view and this version looks even better than the Spider-man PS4 version, despite being practically an expansion of the same game.
I took 14 hours to get every collectable and 100% every district, and I have New Game Plus left to play as of writing this review. New Game Plus has a unique suit, increased level cap, three new skills and new perks and mods to obtain. Having fully enjoyed the entirety of the game in my first playthrough and obtaining every trophy that can be obtained at this stage, I plan to play on Friendly Neighbourhood mode to be the ultimate Miles Morales and head straight for two Platinum trophies.

This is a good game and worth the price to buy
I ordered this and came a day later (pretty good delivery) I put the disk into my PS4 and it took about 20-30 minutes to install. Now I have finished the game and it was a great squeal to the original game as the story line was pretty great. If you have the money for this game, I recommend buying it as it’s a well built game. That’s all I have to say.
