Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 10 Things It MUST Include

10. Snow That's Not Just For Show

Okay, so, having a Spider-Man game that's set in winter is truly some top-tier stuff. Not only are all the best blockbuster superhero stories set during the winter (Batman Returns, Iron Man 3... Spider-Verse), but Spidey swinging through New York at winter-time is a fairly iconic image, whether it was Peter initially in the comics - wrapped in leg-warmers, beanies and scarves - or Miles in 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

In short, it's great to see Insomniac taking New York City and doing something different with it compared to most other titles. The Big Apple is a character in itself, and to get to see it in a new light is a pretty exciting thought.

One other thing that would be pretty cool, though, would be if the weather actually has some sort of influence on the gameplay itself. Maybe Miles finds it harder to swing through a blizzard, or maybe he finds it more difficult to traverse snow-covered rooftops that haven't yet melted.

It would be a neat, albeit unnecessary detail, and would really help bring the game's winter setting to life even more.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
