One of the legit strangest games I have ever played. You play as someone named "The Hunter", which is your birth name, given to you as a baby. You're a centuries old dead god who is brought back to life in a full suit of armor to help Marvel superheroes fight your immortal mom. The game actually starts with Ghostrider telling you to get bent, and then you fight against a Venom/Hydra team-up. Midnight Suns is a game that feels like 3 different games mashed together: -A turn-based deck-building card battler, which is how you fight and defeat enemies- Which might turn some people off in a combat superhero game, but it is actually super well executed here. - A semi open world rpg. You can choose conversation choices that reflect how the other characters interact with you (You can be a big ol' a-hole if you want). You also run around unlockable maps opening chests, archiving lore, and picking up collectibles (including tarot cards and journal pages from Salem witches). You can even go mushroom foraging. - A life sim where you build up friendships with superheros (Blade, Magik, Deadpool, etc) by hanging out with them, and bringing them gifts. There's even a "superhero only" social media. You also can customize tons of things from your bedroom to the hero's outfits (Seriously, you can literally choose what swim trunks you want Dr. Strange to wear). There's even a photo mode where you can create custom comic book covers. It is so, so weird, but it is SUPER fun so far. I'm really enjoying it, I think maybe it's unintended, but it is hilarious. This feels so insanely like being a kid at the movie theatre playing in the arcade in the strangest of ways. There is even an invisible announcer that screams out "K.O." every time you kill someone like it's Mortal Kombat. I wish I knew more people who have played this so I could talk about it more. It feels obscure for being a Marvel game made by the XCOM team, but maybe that's because its sort of niche. AND, last but not least- You CAN pet the demon dog. ($100 is crazy though, buy it on sale lmao)

This game really took me by surprise. Its existence nearly passed me by when it launched in late 2022. Little did I know: Firaxis Games and the XCOM team had just made a Marvel XCOM Mass Effect Card Battler. WHAT? I don't normally click with card battlers, and I am very burned out on superhero multimedia, but Midnight Suns quickly got its hooks in me, and I could not put it down. Maybe I'm just burned out on trash multimedia. - If you like Marvel content, that's an easy reason to enjoy this. There's a good mix of superstar Avengers heroes and lesser known Midnight Suns heroes in the game. - All of this game's DNA screams XCOM, the battles have just been converted to a smaller arena based around card battling, rather than a large cover and fog of war-based combat system. All of the management systems at play in your out of combat base, The Abbey, are very similar to XCOM headquarters. Train with your heroes, upgrade your cards, buy items, explore the Abbey grounds to find secrets and loot, and quite a bit more in-between combat missions. - A friendship and hangout Social system with all of the heroes. Have some beers with Blade or go fishing with Wolverine, and you get battle bonuses for building these relationships, creating a great side progression system. - I honestly don't play enough card battlers to give an expert gamer opinion on how deep the card strategy and deckbuilding is. But I started the game pretty inept, and by the end I was fine-tuning my hero decks, playing cards for a turn or two ahead, and optimizing my combat action sequences for maximum effect. - The one DLC expansion that came out before development ended, The Good, The Bad, and the Undead, was just as high quality as the base game and integrated into it seamlessly. It was also amazing near the end when Morbius screamed "ITS MORBIN' TIME" - This has a LOT of dialogue, in a dialogue system that will be familiar if you've played the Mass Effect trilogy. The writing is never that good, in fact it can be quite comic book hammy at times, but this game is suitably epic. I accomplished a lot, but did NOT "100%" this game, and this was teetering on 90 hours played. That's bigger than the entire Mass Effect trilogy on completionist runs. Some smaller criticisms of the game that I didn't love: - They tried to go for a premium currency and loot grading system that just reeks in a single player game. Unacceptable. Alas, development of the game has ceased, and the Legendary Edition of this game includes ALL content. - Some of the mission variety, particularly Story missions (move critical path/plot forward), left a bit to be desired. I never minded General missions (mostly side/optional missions) having recognisable presets, but to launch into Story missions and often have them padded out by the same presets as General missions was disappointing at times. - Not a big fan of level scaling enemies, and the enemies in this game will do so until you reach max "normal" levels, after which there are "heroic" levels where you begin to eclipse them. This almost felt like an irrelevance to explain, but I was just shy of max level after finishing the game, so enemies scaled for my whole playthrough. - That this game fell under the radar so hard, I never got more DLC expansions. We could have had Thor! And Squirrel Girl! That's about it. I strongly recommend this game. If "Marvel XCOM Mass Effect Card Battler" speaks to you at all, you need to try this.

Dude this game would've skyrocketed if it wasn't for some questionable design choices and questionable marketing. I love the game but the weird middle-school "drama" and increasing friend levels (weird hangouts and trying to please people) was awkward. I'm all for cheesy comic book dialogue from the golden era but let's be real, I really wish it was darker in tone. It's "dark" in the sense that it has that late 90s-early 2000s edgy angst. It's like watching Blade but they took out the cursing and blood. Let's be real, people were expecting Xcom with Marvel characters. Straight up, bringing in Marvel characters on a tactical map and playing a polished version of Freedom Force mixed with turn-based action and stellar graphics. It's definitely unique and works with what it's got, I almost wish it played like a rogue-lite. And dude, we should've gotten some more obscure characters but I know that doesn't pull in the masses. That's it for my gripes. This game is addicting and we're kinda strapped for good superhero games, especially ones that let you control a squad of your favorites. Aside from the "hub" slowing down the action, I really love it. Graphics are slick, superheroes can feel powerful if you build the right deck, and though we still have the Avengers in it, it's not just about them and we get to play with characters who deserve a bit more spotlight. Despite what I feel about the tone of the story, I still think it's pretty solid for a superhero game. Throwing some goon into an explosion to wreck other badguys and then slamming down with some crazy AOE attack you've been saving your points for is insanely satisfying. Also, it has Ghost Rider. That was enough to make me buy it right there. If you picked it up for PC, seriously look into modding as there are some tweaks out there that make the game feel more streamlined.

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.
