1. Fan Service Is Off The Charts

2018's Spidey came thick and fast with the fan service, and Miles Morales is no different.

Even after an hour or so you'll have unlocked Miles' animated suit from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, but what is hands-down one of the coolest unlocks in Spider-Man game history comes from Insomniac's take on the Spider-Verse suit.

Here you can unlock the skin and wear it normally, but unlike Peter Parker's Spider-Verse costume in the 2018 game's DLC, here there are "suit powers" that unlock frame rate skips for Miles himself, alongside explosive comic book words like "BOP!" or "CRACK!" when hitting enemies.

The latter is slick as hell, but the frame rate drops mean this Spider-Verse suit moves the exact same way as in the film itself. It's honestly an incredible inclusion, and the more people see it in action, the more they'll freak out.

On top of awesome costumes are the likes of J. Jonah Jameson's talk show returning, many former characters making appearances in some form or another, and an entire chat app in the pause menu delving into wider Spidey references and nods.
