Marvel's Midnight Suns is a very good (but not great) game

I had a very good time playing the game. Here's where I think lies my problem with it, they made something very good, but there is always a "But" small... big... loads of buts... I will focus on that here, I'm sorry in advance if it's too annoying, and for my English

• Gameplay

Back in the day, I used to play Hearthstone, I got to legend and stuff. So it brought me a nostalgic feeling getting cards, building decks, redraw, building mana heroism to use cards. Love all of that, plus the most important part in this game, playing with the positioning! Whether planning the next cards, or using the environment. Love it!

Positioning, using the field being so important in the game, I really think we could have some variety there. All stages are arena types. I would've loved, something like idk advancing a street, invading a place, defending it, floors or whatever similar?

And my biggest grip here, they really should have used more villains from Marvel, and give more spotlight to the ones already there. Everytime time I saw them was an 'Oh Shit!' moment, and it was great!

Not sure how much it's a hot take here, I actually liked it!

I almost can feel your look rn :D yeah... it does have a not so well writing moments, and worse, it can be bland, lots of times. AND it happens too many times!! Though It does have some sweet moments that I did like it. It was enjoyable to have those scenes with all those Marvel characters, that always put emphasis on the human side of the heroes. Did you guys check Superlink often? There, the short messages involving more people felt way more natural, sweet and funny a lot of times.

I believe the tone was a bit weird because of what our character was in the world (I will elaborate a bit later). And it does overlap, the story, the relationship scenes, like I am playing video game with Robbie Reyes while the world is almost ending in the story. And I did skip some stuff indeed (Tony Stark, idk what's with him there)

Overall it was different to me and I liked! Not everything, but enough to look for something similar. Recommendations led me to Persona 5, which I got on Steam sales, so let's see

• Our Character

We are OP, and that isn't for me

In the story, and with everything else! Our character has 30 card options while others have 10, cards apart our character is too strong! Conversations were weird because the heroes were treating us as such (Yeah there is the story to back that up, still...)

Guys, we are talking to people like Captain America, the 1st Avenger, Wanda Maximoff; the Scarlett Witch, one of the strongest characters in the Marvel universe, Illyana Rasputina, sister of Colossus from the X-Men and ruler of Limbo at some point, and yeah also Tony Stark

Yet all the stuff and all the choices felt inconsequential, linear. Specially in the relationships, but honestly, I don't know how much writers could (or were allowed) to shake things up with one of the biggest IP's in the world. We could have date someone tho...

• Conclusion

I did have fun playing it! And there are dozens of hours of fun there! For people who enjoy turn-based games, and of course Marvel fans, where else you could hang out with Wolverine at the pool besides a fanfic?

I do think it is a very good game, but not great tho. The New Game+ or the DLC's: Venom, Morbius, Deadpool and Storm doesn't really interest me. I'm moving on, no regrets of playing it tho. Would love to hear your opinions about the game

(For those who played it, I got to Heroic III, and stayed there to finish the game)
