Tristan and Oliver get caught in a web of intrigue as they string together Insomniac Games’ PS5 launch title Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales into these three bits:

1. Feeling Like Spiderman - all things web swinging and open world parkour traversal


2. Brawling With Agility  - Looking at Spidey’s combat design and how the character creates a unique opportunity for brawling in large, open levels.


3. Living Breathing NYC - How the wizards at Insomniac made the big apple feel alive, and what such a bustling city scape means for wayfinding.
