    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 lot of character and base building built into a unique deck building Strategy RPG. There are some story pieces that just aren’t entirely enthralling, and you may find the exploration to be lacking. What Midnight Suns does happen to do exceptionally well, is provide a purely satisfying strategy game, once you wade through all of the monotonous upgrades to get you to the combat. With plenty of characters to unlock, and multiple difficulty levels to amp up the strategy required, this is one of the best Marvel games to release in years. The best part is, whether you’re a Marvel fan, or you’re just a strategy buff, Midnight Suns delivers. Do not make the mistake of passing on this one.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns is a very good tactical RPG. A real ode to the Marvel universe that has enough qualities and fan service to please everyone. Combats, scenario, casting, everything is look great. Only regret, the game is sometimes a little slow in its implementation, with a lot of dialogues.

    Midnight Suns is long and overloaded with systems (I didn’t even mention the light/dark faux-morality system, or new game plus, or levelling up your dog), but it is fun, both its combat and its superhero friendship simulation. The combat is good enough to keep you wanting more, and the story and character moments interesting enough that I didn’t mind how much they punctuated the flying fists and swinging swords. Making fighting alongside Wolverine as interesting as having a fireside chat with him is a tough ask, and Midnight Suns has nailed it.

    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.

The more I play, the more clever things unlock, and the deeper the game becomes. Writing seems very faithful to source material, and the variety of things to do and combat mechanics are impressive. Exploration could be better, the game crashed once or twice, and certain things can be repetitive, but to me, they're just nitpicks compared to what's offered.… Expand

    Despite some flaws that shouldn't have been there from day one (poor RTX optimization, inability to play VOST) and some other flaws such asDespite some flaws that shouldn't have been there from day one (poor RTX optimization, inability to play VOST) and some other flaws such as really bad facial animations for some characters, I really like the game.

    Here, forget the Xcoms and their famous attack success percentage as reliable as a blind man proposed to snipe an elephant in a corridor. In this Marvel's Midnight Sun you will find yourself with a really well-honed card system evolving throughout the adventure to prevent a certain redundancy. Likewise, the fights are really very pleasant to play. All heroes have their own very successful animations. We never feel a “copy-pasted” side from one character to another.

    To improve your decks of cards you will have to spend a lot of time in the abbey (hub of the game) and its surroundings. This is far from being a defect because you will really take pleasure in discovering all the characters and creating more or less intimate links with them. Personally, I thought the hub would stop at the abbey but not at all!!! Outside you will have a lot of mystical places to discover. To discover them, you will not have to hesitate to be curious and to be quite attentive to certain environments.

    I would still have a lot to say but I prefer to let you discover the game so that you keep a few surprises.

    Yes, the game has a lot of technical flaws, that's undeniable (really terrible animations and rendering of faces). Only, some of the criticisms made of the game seem to forget that we are not facing a AAA from Naughty Dog or Santa Monica but facing a game from Firaxis? Do we play an Xcom for its photo realistic characters? No.

    I really recommend this title that I find really addictive (in a good way). I hope the game will meet the success it deserves to have a sequel or at least a real narrative DLC !!    … Expand

    Someone should check to see if Firaxis is OK.. because the only explanation have for this game is they got kidnapped and replaced. TheSomeone should check to see if Firaxis is OK.. because the only explanation have for this game is they got kidnapped and replaced. The replay value is horrendous .

    Firaxis does not do great story lines and dialog - its well knows and that same flaw is present here , what they do is make incredible deep, tactical, thoughtful games with a ton of replayabllity that make up for it with the game play being the draw. If asked to replay this game id consider it cruel and unusual punishment . The core of the game the combat and card system is decent but feels like something that could of been done on a mobile game . The problem is the game play is only about half the game - the rest is an RPG which bad dialog and options to build relations , walking around a pointless hub to collect things that should be story mission rewards. ITs like they saw open world stuff from Witcher or Zero dawn and like lets cram that into one big hub. Its got a ton of needless required time syncs that slow the game down and are dull and tedious making replaying a choir .

    I can appreciate the RPG elements but they feel half effort both in growth and development in leveling system and in the Dialog and relationship building part. , I can appreciate a world where you explore and build and craft but it just doesnt have a place in a game like this and also feels half assed and just thrown in the for the sake of adding something else.

    I knew not to expect Marvel's Xcom. But i was hoping for something more then this.
    My feel is its a low grade mobile game with increased graphics that somehow runs poorly on the highest of high end builds . I mean i know my 3080 isnt considered super high end anymore but i should not have stuttering and lock ups on MEDIUM settings on one of the highest end cards of the past few years!
    The grinding for for cosmetics with optional microtransaction in a single player game with limited end game and limited replayability ??? What have you become Firaxis???

    I have over 1000 each on both Xcoms and probably close to that combined on the civ games.    … Expand

    Canceled Russian localization. Very bad attitude towards the players. I don’t understand why ordinary players suffer.
