Marvel's Midnight Suns

Marvel's Midnight Suns has fun interesting gameplay that is easy to pickup. Turn based combat with deck building is a unique combination that works here with well made combat ability animations that compliment each hero's powers. The story is enticing enough to keep me invested and I recommend watching the prequal shorts as they do a good job of establishing the characters and story but have no idea why these are not included in the game. This game fails hard in one aspect and that is the dialog. The story is supposed to be dark and gritty, at least that is how I felt it sets itself up but the dialog in this game comes across as the polar opposite. In the two hours that I played almost every characters dialog needed to include a witty or comedic line or two or three. This killed it for me especially since a good part of this game is building up your relationship with each individual hero you unlock. When everyone is trying to be the witty or funny guy it ruins the tone of the story to the point where I do not feel like there are any actual stakes at risk, and it makes each character feel the same and have no real individual personality. This game has a lot going for it and if you can survive the dialog then go for it but I could not take another minute of it. Pick it up on a sale or maybe watch a video of the first hour or so before you buy.

TL;DR: A turn-based card battler with excellent strategic depth wrapped in a Marvel package. Skip the narrative and get to the amazing battles! The story is weak, and the writing is juvenile, filled with bad jokes and awkward dialogue. Characters also come off as ignorant. Voice acting is inconsistent and often poorly delivered. The music is serviceable, and the art direction is moderate, though character designs sometimes clash with the environments. The roster mixes staple Marvel heroes with a few unique additions. You create a Hunter avatar, but customization is limited, it has an androgynous voice, and the skills are fixed with a light or dark path based on convo choices. The card-based combat remarkably fun. Each turn gives you a limited number of card plays, redraws, and movement options to encourage strategy. Cards have unique effects and tags, environmental interactions are satisfying, and critical draws add excitement. The animations, sound design, and camera work make battles feel epic. You can level up characters, upgrade cards, and customize decks. Unfortunately, missions and enemy types become repetitive over time. Outside of combat, the game is padded with filler. Poor dialogue choices, relationship meters, club meetings, hangouts, and hub exploration often feel like chores.. There are plenty of collectibles and lore entries for completionists. Lastly, the game borrows too many mobile and gacha-inspired design elements. There's a cash shop for cosmetic skins, and the game's already weak writing is further undermined by awkward, alphabet characterization. DLC require to get all the characters. I am surprised there is no season pass.

the combat would be okay, but the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day to day managing of relations fecks the game over, avoid buying, this is hot garbage, between every fight you have to spend 10 minutes walking around, talking to useless characters.

its good

100+ hours in and I wish it didn't have to end. Great Game though it does have its quirks and bugs. Loved it from start to finish. Wish they would have made a sequel but oh well.

FINALLY FINISHED THE main GAME. If you like Marvel, story telling comics and card games, this is the best.

9/10 a great Marvel Game and hopefully someday we get a Midnight Suns 2
