    A brilliant strategy game that's also one of the best superhero games ever. [Recommended]

    Great tactical fun nestled in a sweet-natured superhero dollhouse.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns has snappy tactical combat that's incredibly satisfying and manages to juggle numerous social links successfully with familiar heroes. [Quick Look]

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a game full of rich texture. The voice acting is superb and the abbey’s relationship-building is the perfect chill interlude to the tactically sophisticated card play. The two formats are beautifully intertwined through the accrual of additional cards and abilities, and there’s a genuine sense of satisfaction in deepening both battlefield prowess and social role-playing connections. Midnight Suns is not XCOM — but that’s ultimately its greatest strength. It’s something completely distinct and entirely exceptional. [Polygon Recommends]

    It's a large and sprawling adventure, but there's no 'if's, 'but's or 'maybe's about it. Percentages be damned: this is a guaranteed hit for Marvel and strategy fans alike. [RPS Bestest Bests]

    I am seriously digging every bit of exploration and combat, and after the sour taste Sonic left in my mouth, it’s really nice to feel good about video games again, especially when the game wasn’t something you wanted to play at all.

    Frankly, I didn’t much like the balance Midnight Suns strikes at first. I wanted “Marvel XCOM” and could not help but be disappointed in how emphatically Midnight Suns is not that. Over the holiday weekend, however, I really came around to what Firaxis hashave done here. It’s a much more relaxing and less demanding game than XCOM. It’s not easy, to be clear: it does not fall into the Fire Emblem: Three Houses trap of making combat so trivial that it mostly interrupts the socializing you’re there to do. But it is forgiving. If you win a battle, even if you win it in an ugly and inefficient fashion, everyone will be okay and the game will go on. Everyone will get back to the Abbey and, once they’re there, they’ll go right back to their friendly and not-so-friendly bickering at the end of the world.

    It's a standard triple A title of this age ;

    - Horrendous stutters (Denuvo DRM probably has to do something about that)
    - Microtransactions in a Single player game yes I am not kidding!! They are so greedy for more money.
    - Consistent glaring visual bugs. the character models look like plastic toys, clothes look like cheap plastic and everything else just look off. Graphically, this looks like an early 2010 game.
    -The card system swings between either meh or tiresome as ♥♥♥♥ the game would be better without them in my opinion.
    - I wonder is the story written from a teenager, feels stupid and childish sometimes
    - The downtime in the hub can just sucks up so much of the playtime if i wanted a social type of game i would buy The Sims    … Full Review »

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.… Full Review »

Everyone involved with this should be ashamed and embarrassed of how incredibly terrible the graphics and writing on this game are. I have IPAD games that look twice as good. Combat gameplay is their strong suit and they should have just stuck with that, get some real animators and even one decent writer. It's cringingly bad all around.… Full Review »
