It's honestly a shame that this never got the recognition it deserves. It's unique, fresh and faithful enough to the comics that fans will truly appreciate it. I hope this gets a sequel.

The problem with Marvel Midnight Suns is that it isn't XCOM. It also isn't really a deck builder. It's also not really a simple quick marvel story. It's also not a dating simulator for all of the super heroes in the marvel universe. All of these downsides also lead into its strengths. It's kind of like XCOM, and I love XCOM. It's kind of like a deck builder, and I love deck builders. It's kind of a deep, extremely human take on these larger than life super heroes, talking about their insecurities, their flaws, their worries and their dreams. And it kinda lets me date Magick and set Blade up with Captain Marvel and I find that really charming. This is the most interesting Marvel story that's come out since Infinity War. And it does that by slowing down the pace of the game and letting you really talk to these characters and hear what they think and how they feel. It's really quite endearing, assuming of course you have the patience to slow down and enjoy all the dialogue. This is a truly unique experience that won't be for everybody, but I'm really glad it exists. I hope they make a sequel based on Xmen.

Recommended as long as you know what you're getting into. Turn based card battler with superheroes? Sign me up. However i didn't expect a tedious relationship sim on top of it. There is so. much. talking. It's clear they wanted a Persona-style social element, but the ratio of time spent on that vs actual gameplay isn't justified. You spend way more time talking than battling. You can do one mission a day... Here's how a typical day goes: -Wake up, check your messages. Mostly flavor text, but sometimes they lead to story events or level-ups, so you don't want to miss them. -Pet the dog. -Talk to anyone with speech bubble. More window dressing, but sometimes stat bonuses etc. -Go get your new cards from yesterdays battle, down in 'the forge' -Go outside to upgrade cards, stats etc -Consider doing a hangout to level someone up, i.e. another conversation -Do the next mission. Typical battle is maybe 10-15 minutes, longer for main story missions -Back home now, time to talk about what just happened, and then ANOTHER hangout if you want -In the evenings there's a whole exploration of the grounds and its mysteries, some mini-quests, resource gathering, collectibles etc, all kinds of tasks to get little bonuses or skins etc. -None of the above involves actual deckbuilding or card strategy, which is just done in the game menu. ...All of that between EVERY mission. You can skip a lot of it, but will miss out on valuable bonuses for your characters. The part we're all here for, though- the battles themselves- are great. The arenas are really small, but there's a lot going on. Environmental interactions, lots of card synergies and stuff. So... if you're OK with a huge amount of d1cking around in between missions this game is fun. If all this sounds gross, then you should probably play something else.

Coming from the XCOM franchise I like how they reshaped the experience into something new for this game. It is more of a puzzle game when it comes to fighting and you spend about the same time in combat as you will spend socializing with the other characters. A few vestigial aspects of the XCOM games feel a bit out of place. Mostly any timers for processes to complete which in 90% of the cases is "1 day". The card battling mechanism feels more at home in this superhero fantasy setting than in the original games. Same goes for the small battle arenas. The game is not perfect and there are still small (mostly visual) bugs even a year after release. If you like the Marvel characters you get a lot of content for your money. If you prefer a more real-feeling combat the XCOM games will be the better choice for you. I found it quite funny that it felt more like a Hogwarts Legacy experience with the Marvel IPs and I liked that.

[H1]Marvel's Midnight Suns shines in superhero combat but falls short elsewhere[/H1] [H1]So what's it about?[/H1] In Marvel's Midnight Suns, you build a team of seasoned Super Heroes from across the Marvel Universe to combat Lilith, Mother of Demons. There are three parts to the game: in the morning you train, select a mission and then do the tactical combat. When you return it’s time to hangout and discover the areas around the abbey. In between you build your card deck and abilities so you can then handle more challenging missions with better rewards. [H1]The good[/H1] [*]The combat effects are done exceptionally well, especially the dual attacks. [*]Each character feels unique: compare having Spiderman unlocking a terminal (carefully hacking) versus Venom (smashing the keyboard). [*]The story outside the friendship simulator part is good for a Marvel hero game. [*]The music and sound effects are done really well. [*]All the text is voice acted and the voice acting is actually quite good for nearly all characters and 80% of the time [*]One of your friends is a doggy :-) [*]You can customise the heroes and your room with various outfits and items. [*]You can also upgrade the cards into more powerful versions and customise them further to make your heroes even stronger. [*]The environments are partly destructible. [*]I like the auto-complete function of the deck - you can put your favourite cards in the deck and then the game will add the best cards to complement. [H1]The not so good[/H1] I bought the game on Steam: why is the awful 2K Launcher still required that reduces performance? Take the following steps to get rid off it: Step 1: Start by right-clicking Marvel's Midnight Suns in your Steam library, selecting 'Properties', then the 'Local files' tab. Click 'Browse'. Step 2: In the Explorer window that appears, open up the 'MidnightSuns' folder, then the 'Binaries' folder, then finally the 'Win64' folder. You’ll see an .exe file named 'MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping' – hold Shift, right-click on this file, and click 'Copy as path'. Step 3: Go back to the Steam Properties window and click the 'General' tab. Paste the path to that .exe into the Launch Options field; it should along the lines of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Marvel's Midnight Suns\MidnightSuns\Binaries\Win64\MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping.exe", including the quote marks. Step 4: To the end of this path text, add a space, then "%command%" (not including the quote marks). Then simply close the Properties window, and the next time you launch Marvel’s Midnight Suns, it should do so straight from this executable, skipping the 2K Launcher. [*]The friendship simulator story feels like a fan fiction soap opera. Earth is about to get destroyed yet the heroes are more concerned about book clubs, birthday parties and what the other team members think of them. Thankfully you can skip this dialogue and most cut scenes. [*]There are too many currencies affecting all the upgrades. It makes it feel like you are artificially locked into making progress and doing mundane tasks. [*]If you are looking to max out all your skills, levels, cosmetics and friendship stats for all heroes then be ready for a massive grind with artificial barriers. [*]The cards are a good concept but combat is simplified compared to X-Com. [*]The pre-rendered cutscenes have dated physics and character animations with heavy compression and depth-of-field issues. [*]There is not much enemy variety. The only variation are the bosses that sometimes show up. [*]In the later missions the rules suddenly change for that mission like the super villains have unlimited lives or you only have two turns to make it harder? [*]Also some of the mission objectives in the friendship simulator can't be fulfilled unless the games feels like it. [*]It's a pity that some of the heroes are only unlocked late to very late in the game. [*]The rain effects are not great at all. [*][SPOILER]The portrait photo of the Hulk is so cheesy :-(. There are also no other outfits available for Bruce. He is also the only hero where you cannot build up any friendship with - it feels like the developers ran out of time and just dropped him in within further consideration. [/SPOILER] [H1]Bugs and glitches[/H1] There are numerous bugs and glitches varying from your mission objective disappearing or one unique armour not being available, crashes and items that glitch through the world. It’s nothing too game breaking, but I expect a much higher standard from Firaxis. [H1]The DLCs[/H1] The DLCs add cosmetics to the game, stories and heroes. I enjoyed the latter and they are worth a buy (if they are not included already) when on sale. [H1]Summary[/H1] Marvel's Midnight Suns shines in tactical combat, character effects and the general story, but bugs, glitches and the friendship simulator are not great. It’s a pity as there is a good game present just the negative distracts a bit. [H1]Should you buy it?[/H1] MMS is a good game if you can overlook the negative points then I can definitely recommend it. It offers something new for tactical combat genre.
