Forgot to mention I also beat Spider-Man: Miles Morales. It's fun but short, imagine the first game but just one story arc instead of flowing from Kingpin to Mr. Negative to the Sinister Six, but what plot it does have is fun and enjoyable, especially the end scene after the final battle. If I had to complain, the premise is ridiculous: I don't care what the socioeconomic situation is like in Harlem, no one is going to let an untested power reactor be built in the middle of NYC. But the first game also leaned into that with "whipping up a quick vaccine" for Devil's Breath, so it's not like it was unprecedented.
However if I had to chose, I would say it was more fun to play the first installment, simply because of venom. The developers really shoehorned the player into using it as much as possible, making enemies that couldn't be hit unless you used it, whereas I feel the original game allowed greater variety, whether you enjoyed close combant, long-range, gadgets, sneaking, etc.
Minor complaint, but it was also weird to see Miles repping Harlem so much. Kid's from Brooklyn, and Brooklyn kids tend to not let go of their pride.
Overall, a nice quick game to play as we wait for the second game, which should come out later this year.
