Marvel's Midnight Suns

I grew up with Marvel comics. Then fell in love with Bioware style RPG games, like Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. And finally found XCOM 2 with its top notch turn based gameplay.

For me, Midnight Suns is pure bliss because it masterfully combines the best aspects of those three.

Gameplay consists of basically two main sections: interacting with iconic (and some less known) Marvel characters in the main hub called the Abbey and then missions, where you fight Hydra agents, demons, vampyres, and Marvel villains. Fights are very strategic, and its so satisfying to find 1000+ damage combo with heroes like Iron Man and Captain America or Wolverine and Storm.

After the fights you get to build your relationship with many classic characters. This is where this game brings something unique to the table: how often can you get to play video games with Wolverine or go fishing with Doctor Strange? This gameplay loop is very fun, and even after 60+ hours I still cannot get enough of it.

The actual story is very epic and contains massive amount of cinematics and twists. Voice acting is great, for me the best voices go to Iron Man, Magic, Hunter (female), Deadpool and almost every othe character too. All characters are well written and really resemble their comic counterparts.

Graphics are fine - partly great (like hero combo animations), partly just ok (like Captain America's t-shirt). Sound effects and music are fantastic.

The main hero Hunter is amazing: up there with Commander Shepard from Mass effect. They are right at home with younger cast members (Midnight Suns) and on par with legends like the Avengers or X-Men.

Really hoping the game finds its players in slow burn and Firaxis will make a sequel some day.
