    Persona social simulation + XCOM combat + the edgier side of Marvel. This alone will tell you if you'll love it or hate it. Some of the animations might be goofy and the male Hunter is particularly cringe, but the core gameplay loop is magnificent.

Like you're kicking so much ass, the game is in shock.

    The only legitimate gripe I have is that one of the bigger twists towards the end was spoiled in the Midnight Suns shorts pre-release. Doesn't kill anything, but made for a very confusing reveal since I watched all the shorts before playing.

    It is a great game that I immediately replayed in NG+ to see all the other morality choices and hear the other gender Hunter's lines.    … Expand

    This game took a minute for me to get into but now I’m hooked. In fairness I’m a big marvel mark. This game will probably go on sale to 30$ bucks soon should definitely pick it up then and add on the season pass

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics: Game looks very dated and feels like the resources in this department were not well spent
    Gameplay: You get to control only three characters, and every mission gets repetitive quickly on top of it, they added too much unnecessary gameplay like the free roaming that pointless, I often fall asleep playing this game because it feels like a chore and the story is very bland, not an XComm game at all, would have been awesome if it was with marvel characters but sadly not the case, no move movements and the card system is whack, sometimes you have to reload a previous save file because a character who you brought along might not be even able to play
    Overall: money wasted, if this was idk $10 game I can see sure, but at the price tag of $70 which more than likely I probably won't advance more than chapter 2, this game is chore and boring to play, I don't get the vibe of XComm, I don't get the vibe of good strategy game, the story is weak, the graphics are weak worse than marvel avengers, card system coupled with you only get three characters to play on any mission on top of enemies can have unlimited adds, makes the game whack    … Expand

    The combat is engaging and fun and the card system really works, loved every moment The Social aspect is beyond tedious with terrible dialogue, cringey interactions and endless endless running from place to place collecting garbage when all you want to do is do the next battle I tried to just skip the social part but it's woven that deep Into the game it's    I'll sum it up really quickly

    About 15 hours in and the game is fantastic. If you’re a fan of XCom and Marvel, then this will be right up your alley. Wish the roster was a bit bigger, but the characters they have are fantastic. Would love to see them expand this game over time. There’s so much potential.

    Very different game, than everyone expected. Approximatelly 35% of the game are card battles - imagine 3D Slay the Spire. And the other 65% is conversation game that is not far from dating simulator (most of it is not main linear story, but hangouts with the team).

    I absolutely hate all aspects of the social stuff in this game.

If this is your kind of thing, you’ll probably like this game. If you were looking for something more like X-com, this is not it. The combat is a dumbed down draw cards / play cards system. There’s no cover, and there’s hardly any movement or reason to move. Enemies typically reinforce the battle infinitely until you achieve an objective. Combat is not fun for me. If it was I might put up with skipping through the other half of the game - the after mission social stuff. But as it stands, I’m not finishing this.… Expand

I expect these developers to work hard and put actual combat for $70, especially when their publisher 2K makes bank off their NBA games. The story is awful. The physics are beyond horrible.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. It's already bad enough that they charged $70 for a singleplayer only turn-based game, and now these greedy developers had the audacity to include microtransactions without multiplayer. Are you freaking kidding me? That's pathetic. Not even Sony is that greedy. There's no servers to maintain, meaning it's inexcusable to add MTX. I don't care if it's cosmetic only 2K, you either give me online or delist your stupid in-game currency off the PS store. I don't recommend this game at all. This outrageous greed makes me furious.    … Expand

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns has many of the elements that would make it a great special event story – it carries off its pulpy narrative pretty well despite the bland protagonist, and the combat is a competent adaptation of superhero action into a strategy format. However, the slow pacing of the narrative and battles, not to mention the wrong-headed approach to the home base and team building make Midnight Suns feel disjointed and torpid. This is one special event that won’t become a collectible.

    Midnight Suns is a complete package created with passion and love, and that's why it stands out from many lifeless Marvel releases we've seen lately. It oozes substance, which is why not many will focus on the relatively weak visuals and technical problems.
