Episode 31: Insomniac's Spider-Man

This week the bird boys are covering an insanely fun, intuitive, and well-made Playstation exclusive. Are your spider senses tingling yet? Mine are That’s right, it’s an episode on Insomniac’s spectacular series "Marvel’s Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man: Miles Morales"! We're covering both games in one episode because although "Miles Morales" is a standalone game, it feels more like Spider-Man 1.5 and not a true sequel. That doesn’t mean it isn’t sick though! Both of these games are some of the only superhero games that we’ve played that manage to actually make you feel like you are a hero. With a huge open world, so many side quests and achievements, awesome suits, amazing power-ups, and great gameplay… this game is easily one of our favourites. We get to all the good stuff… gameplay, story, combat, the rogues' gallery, movement…. everything that Spider-Man has to offer. We talk about our favourite and least favourite boss battles, which suits and power-ups we love to use, the skill progression, and the amazing and lifelike map of New York. We go through what we love about both of the games and the few moments where this series makes a misstep. We muse on what is coming in the sequel (Spider-Gwen? Symbiotes? Green Goblin? New Maps?) and talk about what makes this game so much fun to play. Plus, we go deep on some of the great enemies, the awesome design, and the over-the-top storylines! With intuitive combat and movement systems, this game makes you really FEEL like you are the web-slinger and that just brings it up a notch for us. The game offers so many different ways to approach every situation and makes grinding out achievements fun (even for PALMREADER). So suit up. The city needs a hero. INITIATE BIRD PROTOCOL!
