A unique take on the tactical turn-based strategy genre, with peculiar RPG traits. The game is fun, well-designed and compelling thanks to its mechanics and a solid narrative. It's a bit too repetitive to become a masterpiece, but it's definitely a game worth checking out by anyone remotely interested in the genre.

The ability to partner familiar Marvel superstars with a hero of your own creation is just part of Midnight Sun’s appeal. The card battle system perfectly balances easy-to-learn with tough-to-master. With a heavy emphasis on narrative and character, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is much more than an X-COM clone. The Marvel gang feels right at home in the tactical RPG genre thanks to the game’s smart mechanics. Fighting alongside iconic Marvel heroes never gets old.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a fine tactical RPG and also a great superhero adventure. So if you're a fan of Marvel comics and the game's genre, it is a need to play. But if you just like one of these „sides“, it's hard to get around this game.

For all its focus on supernatural magic and demonic threats, Midnight Suns is a fun-loving and thrilling ride. XCOM strategy fans won’t be disappointed; the format changes still result in a gratifying combat flow. But this is a more approachable and story-driven experience than Firaxis has previously attempted, filled with some of the most recognizable pop culture heroes of the moment. It’s big, boisterous, and a little bit silly at times, but just like the best of Marvel’s output in recent years, it’s also a rousing good time.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a strong tactical RPG that feels like something that wouldn't be amiss in the MCU. Some elements can feel a little bloated, but it's a very strong game. The characterisation is top-notch, with some excellent scriptwriting and voice-acting to support it. Outside of the RPG aspects, combat is fun, engaging, and challenging - particularly at higher difficulty levels. I've had a lot of fun with the game, and I'm still having fun with it, and I can't help but think that fans of the genre - and Marvel - would enjoy it as much as me.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns provides a fun and addicting experience, especially with its tactical combat. It’s not exactly XCOM. But it also shares that XCOM feel despite the different mechanics. Storytelling and dialogue, meanwhile, perfectly emulates the style of Marvel movies, which can be good or bad depending on your preference. Admittedly, the game's visual aesthetic can feel like you’re playing a mobile game sometimes. The gameplay, however, is quite good and has that familiar Firaxis tactical polish. It’s one of the nice gaming surprises of the year for sure.
Marvel's Midnight Suns excels more as the new strategy game from Firaxis than as a new Marvel property, but fans of either franchise are likely to be satisfied by what it offers.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a game that Marvel fans will love through and through. It replaces the action of other well known and beloved superheroes games with cards and strategy, demanding keen planning from the players. The end result is what matters though, its an addictive game with fine touches of human drama and many activities to do and to engage with outside of battles. Marvel fans are going to love this one.

Marvel's Midnight Suns manages to make a hit with all comic book fans. By integrating cards into the XCOM-style turn-based combat system, it succeeded in enriching both deck building and combat system. If you want to hear firsthand about Wolverine being cut in half by a brutal Hulk, you have no other alternatives.

Marvel's Midnight Suns has literally saved the Strategy Tactial Games genre this year with outstanding combat mechanics, a carefully crafted protagonist though the game falls short from a technical perspective

Marvel's Midnight Suns does something completely different than we're used to. It is turn-based, which means that the game pace is considerably lower. Although the story is not very spectacular, the diversity of heroes is. It is strategic thinking about which cards you play and which you want to exchange. Fortunately, there is also a moment of peace and you can freely explore the monastery and its surroundings. You must like Marvel's Midnight Suns. If that is the case, then as a fan you will get a lot of satisfaction from this.

While Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ niche positioning might alienate the broader market, for RPG veterans well-versed in the Marvel Universe, this is a game worthy of your library and deserving of your time.
The worst you can do as strategy and marvel fan is, to not give Marvel’s Midnight Suns a chance. It often doesn't feel lik a game that should be fun because of some failings in the presentation, technical aspects and dialogue but the fight system, lots of rewards and the team building mechanic are so well made, that you forget about all the other shortcomings.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a lot of character and base building built into a unique deck building Strategy RPG. There are some story pieces that just aren’t entirely enthralling, and you may find the exploration to be lacking. What Midnight Suns does happen to do exceptionally well, is provide a purely satisfying strategy game, once you wade through all of the monotonous upgrades to get you to the combat. With plenty of characters to unlock, and multiple difficulty levels to amp up the strategy required, this is one of the best Marvel games to release in years. The best part is, whether you’re a Marvel fan, or you’re just a strategy buff, Midnight Suns delivers. Do not make the mistake of passing on this one.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a game where you can experience a great turn-based fight of Marvel heroes. The combination of turn based tactics and deck building system feels new and easy to learn, also giving players many rooms for their own strategies. Even for those who are not used to turn based games, the game offers a quality time with their favorite Marvel heroes.

Complex beast, Marvel's Midnight Suns. Overall, I have enjoyed it a lot; so much that I found its defects even more annoying, especially considering they are related to design choices around combat missions. Still, this game is an epic adventure, truly worth of Marvel's lore.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is an expansive tactical RPG that makes great use of card game mechanics to inject variety and unpredictability into its excellent combat.
"Life in the Abbey becomes something of a cross between XCOM 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses"
A fantastically idiosyncratic approach to both superheroes and turn-based strategy, that manages to remain perfectly accessible without ever talking down to its audience.
