Marvel's Midnight Suns

I'm not usually a hater, but I had to review this game. I'm about 8hrs in. It's terrible. Ultimately this is an over-packed mobile game and it should have been that. + The combat is pretty cool, and I'm sure as it builds it gets more complex and challenging and fun. I wish that player positioning mattered much. (Would be cool if it was closer to Bauldur's Gate) But it's just a battle arena every time. - No one wants to wander around a stupid hub area collecting random, floating, thingamajigs to combine into a whatchyamacallit that adds up to a nothingmuch. It's packed with time-wasting fluff. - The story is a very stilted, derivative, every-hero-cameo with the old end-o-the-World-trope. Feels like this was written by 13 year old for a 13 year old. - The best part of the game is the banter - but if everyone's a smart-ass then there's not much contrast there either. - The graphics & physics are last gen at best. I am shocked this was made on any Unreal engine. - And the cloud saves are busted at launch (with Steam Deck at least.) Spider-man and Guardians of the Galaxy were amazing. Unfortunately, this belongs in that other pile with Marvel's Avengers. I very much regret this purchase. Wish I could return on Fanatical.

Incredibly addicting, kind of like a mix of Xcom 2 + Persona. Some of the writing is cringey but if you're fine with things being super chill, its an extremely fun game that is hard to put down.

Hooked!! This is a load of fun.

Fantastic game! A great mix of turn based strategy card combat, with deck building and some character bonding on the side! I thought the story content would be a drag compared to the battle gameplay but I genuinely enjoy both!
