There are tons of upgrades available in Spider-Man: Miles Morales to unlock. Here are the best abilities to focus on leveling up early in the game. Spider-Man: Miles Morales continues to build on what Spider-Man PS4 built in the original title. Miles Morales takes on the mantle of the one who will protect the city when Peter Parker is out of the city on a trip to Europe. After the death of his father in the first game, who is full of passion to protect the innocent and save the city with whatever it takes. In the early game, players will be given limited ability points with certain abilities players should focus on. Here are the best abilities to focus on in the early game.

While New York City is relatively the same as the previous game, small changes make the city feel fresh and interesting. For starters, the entire city is covered in a blanket of snow. For those who have ever visited New York City during the winter, the snowfall covering the city in white is one of the most beautiful sights for the city. The city is also covered with tons of easter eggs like a Black Lives Matter mural that unlocks after completing certain sidequests and a statue to memorialize the late Stan Lee. Here are the best abilities to get during the early game.

The Best Early Game Upgrades in Spider-Man: Miles Morales

The skill tree is broken off into four different branches: Challenge Skills, Venom Skills, Camouflage Skills, and Combat Skills. Challenge Skills are unlocked by completing the Spider-Trainer missions. Here are the best abilities to unlock early on.

• Point Launch Boost: Press X on contact to get a massive boost when swinging.
• Silent Step: Takes longer for enemies to find you during stealth sections.
• Patient Spider: Increases the amount of Camouflage Energy, allowing Miles to stay invisible longer.
• Miles Smash!: Increases the radius of Venom Smash.
• Payback: Press Triangle after a perfect dodge for an instant takedown.

Invest your skill points into these abilities early on to make it much easier to get through the rest of the game. While the game itself is shorter than the original, being completed in about 6-10 hours, there is still much to find in the city. Unlocking every suit, locating every Time Capsule, and Postcard will add tons of replayability. The representation in this city is also appreciated, seeing so much Puerto Rican representation around Harlem. It is one of the best Spider-Man titles out there.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
