7 things to know when starting Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an excellent sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man. While Miles’ tale is shorter and less involved than Peter Parker’s, we still learned quite a few lessons. In this Spider-Man: Miles Morales beginner’s guide, we’ve assembled our seven best tips to help with your first few hours of developer Insomniac’s PS4 and PS5 game, out now on Steam.

VENOM ATTACKS ARE YOUR BEST ABILITIES

Prioritize Spider-Training

Engage in holographic training sessions initiated by Peter Parker early in the story. These tutorials not only acquaint you with Miles’ skills but also unlock exclusive abilities upon completion, such as the Payback skill attained from Combat Challenge 2.0 training. Focus on story progression initially, then revisit these challenges to maximize your rank and earn Activity Tokens for upgrades

Focus on Story

With 15 story missions to complete, prioritize advancing through the main narrative to unlock new equipment and side activities. By concentrating on the story first and assisting civilians later, you can efficiently explore each district in a single trip, maximizing your time and resource acquisition

Address Crimes Strategically

Earn Activity Tokens and Tech Tokens by thwarting crimes that appear randomly on the map. Use the FNSM app on Miles’ phone to select preferred crime scenarios, allowing you to earn Activity Tokens selectively. Feel free to prioritize story progression and return to address crimes later if time is a constraint

Master Camouflage

Unlock Miles’ camouflage ability early in the game, offering both offensive and defensive advantages. Experiment with camouflage in various scenarios to exploit its flexibility, whether for surprise attacks, evading enemies, or disrupting combat flow.

Scan Vigilantly

Utilize the scan function (R3 on PlayStation) frequently to uncover hidden collectibles, Tech Tokens, and special locations. This pulse ability not only assists in locating objectives but also reveals interactable elements and enemy targets, ensuring you don’t miss valuable resources or opportunities

Embrace Stealth in Base Attacks

Unlike its predecessor, Miles Morales offers players the option to approach base missions stealthily. Opting for a stealth approach allows you to eliminate guards unnoticed, preventing reinforcements and concluding the encounter without engaging in full-scale combat. Experiment with stealth tactics, even if you’ve previously favored direct confrontation, to capitalize on this strategic advantage.By incorporating these tips into your gameplay, you can navigate the exhilarating world of Spider-Man: Miles Morales with confidence, mastering Miles’ unique abilities and unraveling the game’s captivating storyline.
