Spider-Man: Miles Morales sounds generally good for what I want it for; or, rather, what my oldest kid wants it for. You could tell the folks at Honest Trailers wanted to snark a little more, but they couldn’t. Or at least not much.

He was appropriately wary of spoilers, but did highlight a couple of characters whose side quests you wouldn’t want to miss.

Nutshell summery:
It’s not there yet, but it’s going to dominate the landscape, especially since they’ve enabled fan mods. Explicit comparison to Skyrim made.
The setting is excellent. (And is the primary antagonist that you can never defeat. It’s treated with a light touch, but the subtext verges on cosmic horror.)
There are some great emotional beats, memorable NPCs, and compelling stories. (Sadly, your character isn’t really one of them. He’s a cipher for you to project yourself into, not a role to play.)
The setting is deep, immersive and feels alive in the way most open world games fail at.
It’s still a buggy mess, especially on base XBone and PS4.
Many alternate endings, some of them powerful. (His comments reminded me of the “bittersweet” Dishonored ending. Oof but that was a satisfying punch in the gut.)
