    Marvel's Midnight Suns offers a surprisingly complete experience, going above and beyond what you're used to in XCOM-esque tactics games. From the dynamic card combat system, robust customization options, and hilarious banter with teammates to the fact that you've got a fully explorable hub with secrets, it's got everything you could ever want and then some.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns is a fantastic tactical adventure that adds much-needed depth to the superhero genre. Taking advantage of deeper-cut characters and lore, a heartfelt and sweeping story is told, even finding a way to make an entirely new character fit into the fray. Accompanying that are engaging and curious mysteries to find around the Abbey grounds and a nice feeling of found family among friends. Losing track of time as I had talks with my favourite superhumans, doing whatever menial task at hand too was a particular highlight. Even in these moments of charming oddities, characterisation is stellar. Rounding it all off is another superb tactical experience from Firaxis Games, this time going all in on approachability and options to dominate the battlefield in your own personal ways. This is one of the best tactical games of the year. Marvel as a franchise still has some fight in it yet, and I can't wait to have more experiences like this from them in the future.

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a really cool take on a classic story from the darker side of the Marvel comics universe. Gameplay is a pretty simple mashup between strategy card games and XCOM’s turn-based combat system, making for a refreshing way to experience being a superhero. However the game does have some performance issues, particularly loading times, and some of the side content lacks meaningful contributions to the mission.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns is a game where you can experience a great turn-based fight of Marvel heroes. The combination of turn based tactics and deck building system feels new and easy to learn, also giving players many rooms for their own strategies. Even for those who are not used to turn based games, the game offers a quality time with their favorite Marvel heroes.

    The worst thing a strategy game fan or a Marvel fan can do is not give Marvel’s Midnight Suns a chance. Midnight Suns regularly feels like a game that shouldn’t be as entertaining as it is because it has some flaws with its presentation, technical performance, and writing. However, the combat system and team-building mechanics are so good that the game can stand tall despite its issues. Firaxis stepped out of its comfort zone and did an admirable job at making Midnight Suns its first tactics RPG game, even if its rock-solid gameplay foundations often pick up the pieces where other elements fall short.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns works wonders to freshen up familiar Marvel characters, producing lively battles from focused turn-based systems, then diving into their personalities and histories to reveal their intimate concerns. The combat missions can feel a little side-lined by the sheer wealth of resource management tasks and relationship building, but all the pieces serve a purpose within the richly detailed whole. Marvellous? Pretty much.

    Midnight Suns isn't worth your time. The everyday "life sim" aspect ruins the game and keeps you from the combat - its only truly entertaining part. Locking the gameplay in the day loop forces you to wait, preventing you from having fun.

    Slay the Spire meets Persona set in the Marvel universe. The card battling is tactical but not overly so, and is absolutely gorgeous to look at and listen to - especially on the Steam Deck.

    The time between battles is spent choosing what you'd like to do in your home base. Redecorate your room with furniture you just bought, hang out with and watch a movie with Wolverine, tweak your cards to create synergies between party members, or explore the open world for hidden treasures and secrets.

    Both sides of this game are fun to me.

    The story is very strong (for a card battler), and is funny. I really don't get the people berating the story. Me and my housemate have laughed out loud plenty of times. If you have a sarcastic or snarky sense of humor and enjoy wordplay and throwbacks, you'll get what I'm saying. I could honestly gush some more, but I'll try to simplify things..

    Do you remember that feeling you got when you saw the first Gamescon trailer for this game and said "Oh wow, this game looks so cool!" Yeah, this game lives up to that. (So far)

    I'll edit my review if that changes.

    Edit January 1st, 2022: I am in love with this game. It absolutely takes the top place in my favorite games list (beating out FF7 and the remake), and I'm eagerly awaiting DLCs. Hoping for years of content to come, because I was genuinely sad/depressed when the game ended because I wanted to spend more time with the characters. Trust your gut on this one..do yourself a solid and pick this one up.    … Expand

The card-based gameplay is new for this software house and they managed it pretty well. on the otherside, the plot is not incredibile and it seems to be not "canon" in the marvel universe. Sometimes the game difficulty is not balanced well and secondary mission became more difficult than the main ones. Many bugs and crashes, Technically not so solid on PC, with some framerate drops even on an RTX3060.… Expand

    Yeah you get your Marvel fix, but this type of niche, gimmicky game isn't enjoyable to me. The turn-based combat just doesn't fit here.

It wouldnt be an issue if more than 50% of the playtime wasnt dialogue. It could have been good had they hired at least 1 competent writer. On top of all it has no steam workshop support and unreal engine 4 shader compilation stutter. I cant run this game smoothly with 3080 and 12600k.… Expand
