Insomniac’s Marvel Spider-Man was already stunning. Can they do better? The answer, right away… absolutely yes!

Miles Morales on PC: Ray Tracing and Visual Beauty

The new Insomniac title arrives on PC with a graphical presentation in top form. You can push your latest-generation graphics cards with Ray Tracing enabled to see your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man reflected on every window in the Big Apple.

Miles’s Animation

Great attention has been paid to the character’s animation, which in the “Spiderverse” version recreates all those sometimes slightly clumsy and awkward movements of Miles in the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, when he was still learning to swing between the skyscrapers of New York. A touch of authenticity that makes the character immediately recognisable.

New York City Like You’ve Never Seen It

The setting is the same sprawling New York from the first chapter, but with a wonderful Christmas atmosphere: streets decorated with coloured lights, snow-covered cars, icy roads and environmental effects of every kind. Everything contributes to giving the city that touch of authenticity that makes gliding at street level — hopping from lamppost to lamppost while passers-by wave at you — feel truly special.

I’m still at the beginning of the title and can’t give a complete assessment… but based on what I’ve played so far I can only recommend the purchase, especially taking advantage of deals on Instant Gaming for Steam. The game engine runs even better than the previous chapter, demonstrating the high level of optimisation achieved.

Give it a look — you won’t regret it.
