Marvel's Midnight Suns is the ideal superhero game for just about everyone. Connecting with your comrades feels unique and organic, and the card battle system feels beautiful.

Those rascally villains at Hydra are at it again! This time, they've awoken an ancient evil that's hell bent on summoning Chthon and destroying all life on Earth! It's up to the Midnight Suns to resurrect an ancient hero and stop Lilith in Marvel's Midnight Suns by Firaxis and 2K…

Marvel's Midnight Suns’ story may be a bit on the safe side but character interactions, tons of side content, and an exceptionally enjoyable combat system make this a must play tactical RPG.

Superhero mania has taken the world by storm over for more than a decade, and it seems as though there are no signs of that slowing, as we’ve seen a plethora of popular Marvel titles hit the scene, with plenty more on the way. Marvel’s Midnight Suns stands apart from the Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Future Revolution as a game that provides robust strategy, a nuanced story, and one thing that few Marvel games, if any, have – character creation. Despite the stark departure from the...

Marvel's most recent delve into the world of RPGs comes from the tactical experts at Firaxis Games. Rather than just make a rebranded XCOM clone, the team has made a distinct and worthwhile experience.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a massive game that contains plenty of goodies for any Marvel enthusiast to go bananas over. The story is presented very well, with memorable character performances. The combat system can seem a bit tedious, and missions might take a bit of time, but it’s well executed once you get the hang of it. There’s plenty of customization in the game, from character costumes to what cards you use in missions. Even if you’re not a fan of tactical strategy games, we recommend checking out Marvel’s Midnight Suns if you’re a fan of the superhero genre.

While playing Marvel’s Midnight Suns, what it reminded me most of was Sonic Frontiers. Not because of the gameplay obviously, as it’s clearly extremely different. But in other more fundamental ways, they were sadly similar. Both games were announced to a lukewarm to negative response from their target audiences. Both of them spent their marketing run desperately trying to explain what they were and how they worked. Neither one really pulled it off either, and both launched to indifference...

Marvel's Midnight Suns is an all-new tactical RPG where you confront the darker side of the Marvel Universe and live among its legends.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a pretty cool game, but it falls very short of just how great it could be.

Dec 19, 2022

The point here is that even I can enjoy this game, and I am most certainly not the target market for Marvel. What Firaxis has done is truly impressive, in taking a property that is known for big, dumb action and turning it into a genuinely interesting and furious tactics RPG. Those who are still convinced that Marvel stories are worthwhile will probably enjoy the story and application of characters, too. This means that this is going to be even more worthwhile for them. However, I do think that everyone, regardless of how invested you are in Disney’s content goldmine, will find something to…

Marvel Midnight Suns is, by and large, an unfulfilling superhero title that is only as endurable as it is courtesy of how great Firaxis are at what they do. There’s a lot of heroes and just as many hollow hellos between them that makes me wish all of the story’s character drama was checked at the door for more of what Midnight Suns does well.
