I recently played Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and let me tell you, it’s like biting into a perfect donut... only to discover someone filled it with just a little too much jelly. It's still great, but now you're sticky, confused, and wondering why you’re craving more.

First off, Miles is the coolest Spider-Man ever. He’s got swagger, heart, and Venom powers! Nothing feels better than zapping bad guys mid-air like you’re trying to reboot their Wi-Fi. But can we talk about how every NPC seems to have graduated from the "New Yorker School of Snark"? Some random dude on the street yelled, “Yo Spider-Man, do a flip!” and I almost uninstalled the game just to spite him.

The graphics? Gorgeous. New York in winter is a snow-globe masterpiece. But while Miles is swinging around looking like the future of superheroes, some NPCs look like they’re starring in a PlayStation 2 reboot. I saw a guy casually T-pose through a crosswalk like he was the final boss of Manhattan.

As for combat, it’s ridiculously fun but also a little TOO fun. I accidentally webbed a guy to a billboard that read “Fresh Bagels” and then couldn’t stop laughing for five minutes. It’s hard to feel like a hero when your enemies are part of a slapstick comedy routine.

The story is heartfelt and emotional... until you remember you’ve spent 30 minutes trying to find your last collectible. Seriously, why does Miles care so much about postcards? You’re Spider-Man, dude. Just DM your uncle.

Overall, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an amazing (and sometimes hilarious) experience. Just prepare for moments where you’re not sure if you’re a superhero... or an unpaid urban planner with a flair for acrobatics. 9/10, would swing again.

I like swinging
