Damnit , shtty for those people. I've liked most of what I've played from them. Especially xcom. Love that to death. I still havent picked it up but it's in the plans. I personally think people were turned off due to the card based system. Despite that I've read it was good but I can't help but think it wasn't the smartest move.
I think most of us just wanted X-Com but with Marvel, and they went with a card-game instead. I’m sure it’s a decent/good game, but for me personally, I never had an interest in playing a card game, and I never liked how Midnight Suns looked. I know it was based on a comic series, which is dark and has dark characters, but I’ve never been all that interested in ‘dark’ games, vampires, etc.
On top of that, I just wasn’t impressed with the character-design.
We know they can make brilliant games (X-Com 2), and they had access to one of the biggest licenses in the world, and it’s just a shame they chose a direction that just wasn’t very appealing to a lot of players.
I think you should try it. The card game is literally just changing up your moves so you don’t spam powers and win without challenge.
There’s also no “missing” with moves.
It plays like X-Com other than that.
Midnight Suns missed the mark. I thought it would be great and it was a fail. So repetitive.
I heard the story was extremely bad on this. Bad and boring dialogue on cut scenes. I think I recall that from SkillUp's review
Firaxis Games is about to experience major changes at the management level. Jake Solomon is leaving, and the Studio Head is being replaced.
I hope it kinda stays the same. Maybe develop for consoles simultaneously with PC. Please also port the xcom chimera to consoles. I've seen people be down on it but I just want more xcom.
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.
