@LtSarge OMG, it is like you have posted exactly how I felt about the game lol.

It doesn't suffer from the bloat that the 2018 game had I thought.

I did start New Game+, which is a rare for me, but soon gave up as my enjoyment levels were being sapped. And that is not how I wanted to remember the game.

@LtSarge I may be in the minority here that still liked the 2018 game more than Miles Morales, but I can't fault the reasons why you would like it more than the first. I never really thought there was much bloat to be honest (I even enjoyed the MJ stealth missions), but I am a huge Spider-Man fan and it was one of my favorite games of the last console generation.

As much as I enjoyed both, I can understand not wanting to do NG+ though. I tend to just start from scratch rather than do NG+ if I replay a game anyways, but having a lot of other games to play in my backlog does usually keep the desire to a minimum. I wouldn't want a really positive experience to be tarnished either.

Maybe you'll go back and do NG+ a few years down the road or something when it will be more fresh again, like I have done with replaying a game here and there. Horizon Zero Dawn several years later being an example, which worked perfectly since it worked as a story refresher right before Forbidden West came out.

@LtSarge I think both games are great but MM just feels quite fresh with the different characters and the shorter play time definitely works to it's advantage.

The NG+ wasn't too bad though as the main story is really quite short if you did everything else in your first play through.

@JohnnyShoulder Haha, nice!

I'm picturing the same thing happening to me. I'd just start it up on NG+ and then get fed up with the game.
