  • The game suffers from significant bugs and crashes, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to frustration for players.

  • story

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game's story revolves around a player-created character teaming up with iconic Marvel heroes to confront a supernatural threat, specifically the resurrection of the sorceress Lilith by Hydra. While the narrative is engaging and features enjoyable character interactions, some players find the pacing slow and the inability to replay story missions disappointing. Overall, the combination of a compelling storyline and a unique card-based battle system keeps players invested, even beyond the main plot.

    • “With a player-created main character, the story has you play alongside some of your favorite Marvel characters to stop a supernatural threat from your character's past.”
    • “Storywise, so far, it's been a big supernatural comic book event.”
    • “That's what happens in RPGs, and this is an RPG with a damn fine story and many impressive characters that you know and maybe some you don't know as well.”
    • “Fun game but can't turn off subtitles, so it's pretty impossible to get into the story, care about any characters, or laugh at any jokes.”
    • “Story is boring, but the journal you find about witches and superheroes reminds me of Dragon Age. The codex is a collection of information the player can find throughout the Dragon Age game series; instead of a Dragon codex, it's Marvel's codex plus witches.”
    • “I’ve put in about 20 hours so far and I’m only on the third main story mission.”

  • gameplay

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay of Marvel's Midnight Suns is characterized by a turn-based RPG format that incorporates card mechanics to represent character abilities and guide combat, offering a strategic and engaging experience. Players appreciate the blend of tactical combat, character customization, and exploration within a semi-open world, although the graphics are considered average. Overall, the gameplay loop is enjoyable and accessible, appealing particularly to fans of strategy games like XCOM and Fire Emblem.

    • “I have already sunk over 20 hours into this game and still have quite a bit of fun with the gameplay loop of leveling up, heading out for a mission, and going to a club meeting to further level up my team.”
    • “The combat mechanics are new and fun, the characters are a blast to play as, and hanging out and doing events in the abbey never gets stale.”
    • “The gameplay: for those who are unsure about the gameplay, Marvel Midnight Suns is neither an action-adventure game with 'button mashing' nor is it a 'card game.' This is a turn-based action RPG, and yet, the battles feel hard-hitting and explosive, as they should with a Marvel game.”
    • “The Abby exploration, crafting, social, and research phase before and after combat acts as a pacing mechanic as well as an exposition dump.”
    • “Right off the bat, most of the people who are complaining about this game didn't realize that it uses a card mechanic in the combat and that is the meat of the game.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The graphics have been described as average and reminiscent of last-generation consoles, lacking the polish expected from next-gen titles. While some players find them disappointing, they generally agree that the gameplay compensates for the visual shortcomings, making the overall experience enjoyable for fans of strategy combat games.

    • “The graphics aren’t next gen but still not bad!”
    • “Great game overall; it has pretty average graphics that seem like a regular PS4 game, but that can be overlooked because the game has great gameplay that will be enjoyable for those who enjoy strategy combat games such as XCOM and Fire Emblem.”
    • “The graphics, some story, and enemy turn wait times drag it down a bit.”
    • “The graphics are quite last-gen as well.”
    • “Graphics are not good.”
    • “May have used the budget on that as opposed to the graphics; dialogue is hit-and-miss.”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is a mixed bag; while some players find the stories and character interactions, like the romance between Blade and Captain Marvel, amusing and engaging, others feel the writing lacks wit and depth. The voice acting enhances the comedic elements, but overall, opinions on the humor's effectiveness vary.

    • “The combo of it all worked perfectly for me, and I was telling my wife silly stories from the game about Blade and Captain Marvel's cute romance or the book club, which I found hilarious.”
    • “The voice actors did a great job, weaving in humor and emotion.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -67% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization in the game is generally well-received, with some users appreciating the absence of microtransactions, making it a more enjoyable experience. However, there are still elements that require real-world money for character enhancements, which may detract from the overall value for some players.

    • “With the microtransactions completely removed from the experience, this is a legitimately good Marvel game to pick up and strategize on.”
    • “Aside from your main character, you need to pay real-world money for microtransactions to obtain additional characters, but there is a social aspect where you gain hearts for each character you interact with.”
    • “Aside from your main character, you need to pay real-world money for microtransactions to obtain additional characters.”
    • “The monetization system feels exploitative, as it pushes players to spend money to enjoy the full experience.”
    • “The presence of microtransactions detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game, making it feel more like a cash grab than a genuine experience.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is reported to be quite unstable, with numerous bugs affecting the overall experience.

    • “One thing to consider is how incredibly buggy this game is.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and glitches that ruined the overall experience.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players note that grinding is a common element in the game, particularly in the later stages, as they must utilize action points and manage card play strategically to overcome various objectives, including defeating enemies and protecting key targets. The presence of environmental hazards adds a layer of strategy, but the need for grinding can become apparent as players progress.

    • “You use all your action points (some cards have more action point values than others) or all cards, then it’s your enemy's turn. There are environmental hazards you can take advantage of. Objective types are either to clear out all enemies, beat the boss (with fodder enemy respawns), get to and hack the objective, or protect the objective for a set amount of turns. Like most turn-based RPGs, there is some grinding involved later.”
    • “The game requires a lot of repetitive grinding to level up, which can become tedious and detracts from the overall enjoyment.”
    • “Grinding feels like a chore rather than a rewarding experience, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Reviewers consistently highlight the game's high replayability, describing it as an "instant classic" that offers a wealth of content and experiences that encourage players to return multiple times.

    • “Instant classic and infinitely replayable.”
    • “The truth is that this is a great game with a lot of replayability.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Players find the emotional aspect of the game to be epic and heartfelt, with character interactions that are both touching and humorous, defying initial concerns about the customizable protagonist feeling like a bland blank slate.

    • “Epic, heartfelt gaming experience.”
    • “I was initially concerned that the customizable point-of-view character, the hunter, would feel like a bland blank slate, but their character interactions came across surprisingly heartfelt and amusing.”
