I’ve been playing Marvel Midnight Suns since buying it during a sale and man I cannot believe I missed this game around release, it’s incredible!

I’m not very familiar with marvel outside of the older cartoons and some of the MCU, so I find myself very surprised to find myself really enjoying the non-avengers cast here.

I had never even heard of Magik before this game, and I didn’t know Blade was marvel. Also I love this version of ghost rider. The skull helmet is badass.

In any case I’m shocked at how well the cross between XCOM and a deck builder plays, every character feels distinct from each other while the decks can be customized to lean into different parts of their kit. (Except for Deadpool. I can’t seem to make his kit work very well )

The story is pretty meh though I love hanging out with the large cast between missions. It can feel pretty disjointed though, especially with the dlc missions sprinkled in.
