WTMG's Thomas Medina: "Marvel’s Midnight Suns was a game I wanted to love more than I did. And don’t get me wrong, I did really enjoy it. I can’t express my love for the combat enough, it’s fast, furious, and fantastically flashy. The deck-building aspect is great too, with loads of options and variety. It’s what you’re doing when you’re not in combat that’s the problem. The hollow consequence free relationships, the questionable voice-acting and writing, and the game’s underutilization of the entire mystical and dark premise to the game. And much like Sonic Frontiers, the foundation to doing all that is right here. They did so much work and got so much right, which only makes the shortcomings feel more obvious. Still I love that Firaxis was willing to do something different, and I hope this game is a springboard to them continuing to innovate and keep the genre fresh. "
All playable March 19.
It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus
I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.
Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.
Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.
Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely
Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.
Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.
I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.
Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog
I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).
In no particular order, here are my top picks for the best modern card-based video games to play today.
Inscryption (SPOILER)needs its own standalone from the first act. That part was so fun.
Once you finish the game it opens up kaycees mod which focuses on act 1 gameplay...and is a blast
Firaxis Games says that the redundancies come as it aligns talent against its "highest priorities"
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
