Game Review: ‘Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ – Great Story & Challenging

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the latest game from the Marvel universe, developed by 2K and developed by Firaxis Games (XCOM 2) in cooperation with Marvel Games. The game faced a few delays after being announced in 2021, but now it’s finally here! So is Midnight Suns worth your time, and is it a true Marvel experience?

What is Marvel’s Midnight Suns?
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a tactical RPG that features many well-known characters from the Marvel universe, as well as Easter eggs to make the experience better. Based on the Rise of the Midnight Sons comic saga from the early 1990s, the new game tells the story of Marvel heroes teaming up to stop the true evil Lilith, as the old evil Doctor Faustus of Hydra has used dark magic to resurrect her.

Sensing imminent danger, Doctor Strange and Iron Man ask Johnny Blaze for help, but due to his age and the loss of everyone he ever cared about, he refuses. Meanwhile, Lilith’s dark magic is beginning to infect the world and the heroes must create a secret shield around the Sanctum Sanctorum as the last bastion to protect the realm.

Seeking more allies, their next destination is Magik’s Limbo. Here they meet the all-new Midnight Suns team, which includes Magik, Blade, Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider, and Nico Minoru/Sister Grimm. The heroes are also joined by Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.

The most important thing for gamers who don’t know much about the game is that there is no multiplayer in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, as well as no microtransactions to facilitate gameplay or speed up the player’s progress. The only microtransactions that exist are for premium skins for characters. Non-premium skins can be unlocked simply through the game’s main story and side missions.

To be honest, I didn’t have much hype for Marvel’s Midnight Suns before starting the game because it looked similar to the mechanics in Marvel’s mobile games. But I was so wrong. Although this game can be repetitive at times, it’s definitely worth giving it a chance, especially because of the storyline and unique characters.
