Yeah, it felt very soulless. It's something you cannot put into words, but it's there. I'm just glad it wasn't just me that had that experience.
The swinging-on-the-web it self is garbage, almost no physics involved, very arcadey. Fluidity of animation is the only good thing about it. Even "Web of Shadows" had a system where your swinging actually felt impactful.They’re not perfect though.

There is one thing I gotta agree on Miles Morales's game. The story is bad at times but imo, it's because the antagonists are so by the numbers. That's being nice, otherwise they are just bad. Phineas being heralded as a hero despite being a fucking terrorist because she tried to undo the mess she did at the end and died to save them? No. Fuck out of here. The VERY blatantly evil Roxxon who's got the most generic backstory? They're amusing at least and at least it didn't feel patronizing because they tried to get us to feel a certain way. I hate Phin, holy shit she's so unlikeable and stupid. There's so much proof that she had no idea what she was doing. Miles wasn't much better with her - but I was surprised that when she wasn't present, he was ok. I can go on about why I HATED Phin, especially since the first Insomniac Spider-Man did fine with its villains, though far from perfect.I playing the gross Miles's game now, since it was free. While the story of this game is ass, obviously, the gameplay is way better than the original Spiderman game. The combat is more fun, I find myself Superman punching mfs instead of dodging endlessly or relying on gadgets for crowd control which is quite an improvement
The web swinging feels a bit better too but I haven't made a thorough comparison to figure out why, I think it might be the less stiff animations plus the swinging itself being slightly faster
