MARVEL's Midnight Suns is another game to come out of the strong cultural zeitgeist brought about by the success of MCU, but even today, these games are a hit or miss. Interestingly, MARVEL's Midnight Suns is both. The gameplay is fun and engaging, but according to a majority of early reviews, its story is dull, and its in-game social elements with the MARVEL superheroes is a drag. Regardless, superfans of MARVEL and fans who can stomach the lackluster renditions of the MARVEL superheroes would have a decent game out of this.

In MARVEL's Midnight Suns, players take control of a party of superheroes, including a new customizable character named The Hunter, as they take on the forces of Lilith who has somehow taken over the minds of some of the superheroes. The game takes both turn-based tiled strategy and tactics with mild deck-building mechanics. Think XCOM, Slay the Spire, and MARVEL having a baby.
