I don't think we've seen a superhero game, certainly not a Marvel one that has this level of like, interpersonal, like where people are just sitting around and you can just talk to characters. The Guardians of the Galaxy game came out last year was an excellent representation of this because there were moments where you could just pop around the ship and talk to people. So there was an encouragement to do it. I think if they streamline the, the house, the abbey stuff, I'd be more on board with it as well. Like I think the combat is stellar. Yeah. Uh, I think it's a pretty good game. I thinkthe pacing is a little bit off
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactics game from XCOM developer Firaxis, only instead of shooting aliens a hundred times from behind cover, you play cards to beat ass with your best friend, Blade. This is, objectively, a very good idea, but how well does the rest of the game hold up? Also, what's on our backlog as we approach the GOTY proceedings?
