    Marvel's Midnight Suns is, without question, my Game of the Year and has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time.

    If not for a rather significant bug that dragged back my progress, Marvel’s Midnight Suns would have been an absolute joy from start to finish. A nice twist on the RPG format that lets you get up close and personal (platonically) with some of the biggest names in the Marvel universe.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns can be considered one of the best hero-based strategy games. It has that MCU twist we all know and feels more like a Marvel's Ultimate Alliance spin-off at the same time. The combat system is very intuitive but something is missing. 100% recommended to fans of this genre and comics.

    Midnight Suns is a revelation in tactics gameplay, ditching movement constraints in service of its superhero cast. Its story is well told and voiced, and in between combat there’s a wonderful hub to explore. Structured like a daily tasks Persona-type experience, it won me over with oodles of character and design smarts throughout, keeping me coming back day after day.

    Firaxis is finally coming out of their comfort zone. I know - it's also a turn-based strategy game, what they are known for in the last few decades - but with added systems like the card games, some RPG elements and the friendship system, are adding more spice to the already perfected formula.

    Forcing players to utilize their least played characters is particularly telling of the game’s design philosophy, for the success of your multipart battle proves that Midnight Suns is only as strong as its weakest links.

    While there's a lot to love about its RPG elements and card-based gameplay, Marvel's Midnight Suns ultimately frustrates too much to be considered a true genre great. Its compelling supernatural premise and gameplay are undermined by MCU-style snark and a disappointing lack of polish, making it land with the impact of a low-charge Iron Man repulsor blast and not a well-timed hit to the face from one of Ghost Rider's patented Hellfire chains. Firaxis Games' title may be fun to play, but its story serves as a disappointing reminder of how Marvel's identity has been homogenized by a decade of formulaic silver screen dominance.

    Nice tactical combat with an awesome mix of characters. The social persona like bits in between the missions is not for everyone but iNice tactical combat with an awesome mix of characters. The social persona like bits in between the missions is not for everyone but i definitely enjoy everything about this game! Graphic wise they could have done better but technically everything works like a charm.

    Not for everyone i understand but if you like the genre and you're a old school marvel fan this is the game for you!

There is a lot to explore outside of the main story missions. I didn't expect building friendship levels and exploring the Abbey to be entertaining. Every day, there is something for The Hunter to do. They can either continue the main story or build friendships to help the team become stronger. The one thing that I do wish at times to mission exploring. I think walking to a small destination doing a mission would've made this game even better. Highly recommend this game.… Expand

Ended up saving my game before entering the upgrade hub.. the bug happened 50+ times so only reason the game is not a 10 for me… Expand

    It's not a bad game, but it's not necessarily a good game either. I wish I had done more research and looked at user reviews instead of criticIt's not a bad game, but it's not necessarily a good game either. I wish I had done more research and looked at user reviews instead of critic reviews. Had I seen comments of "blend of XCOM and Fire Emblem: Three Houses" before, I could have saved myself $40 and dedicated more time to playing other games. While I love social aspects such as those in Persona, the social features here isn't exactly executed in the best way with the small font size (not sure how to make it bigger, if possible). There's also a lot of it.

    I've played around seven or so missions, and on Day 5, but gave up. The gameplay style of the cards isn't to my forte/can be too complex. How do you line up foes? Wish you were able to move more than once per turn. Also it'd be nice if I could edit my deck to mainly be attack cards instead of "marking enemies," etc. Once again it's just not my style of gameplay/gaming. Also why do reinforcements keep on spawning for every mission, no matter the objective? Not a fan. Finally the plot seems to be very incohesive.    … Expand
