With that said, GPU and CPU utilization were still lower than desired, with the CPU quickly standing out as the limiting factor. It's an improvement, but Miles Morales would benefit from more work here to run better with slower CPUs. In spite of that, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is as fantastic a port as Spider-Man: Remastered while also benefiting from the additional time Nixxes has had since the original release. If you've been waiting to play this since its debut nearly two years ago, there's no reason to wait any longer.

The game does need a solid machine, and if you have a NVIDIA Ada Lovelace card, you can unlock some great extra performance. It's a continuation of Marvel's Spider-Man with some new powers and some slightly different enemies, but it's solid and will give fans of the first game more of what was good to begin with.

As I mentioned, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn't as lengthy of a game as you'd expect which especially disappointed me as I enjoyed playing it more than the original. That being said, I also felt that this could have done more to differentiate itself from its predecessor as traversing the same city with similar gameplay felt a bit "been there, done that" at times.
