The big twist in Midnight Suns is that it's almost as much a social game as a strategy RPG. That means there's a lot of talking to get through in between fighting, and I can imagine many players may want a little less of that in a game that usually produces strategic RPGs. However, to me it's an interesting mix, and also one that the game pulls off pretty well.

The weirdest Marvel game is also one of the best. With an enormous number of complementary systems, a simple but deep combat system, and a mountain of delightful character moments to explore, Midnight Suns shines a brilliant light into one of Marvel's lesser-known corners. This is a huge game, but also a comfortable and warm game for strategy and Marvel fans alike. Possibly the best release of the holiday season, and one of the strongest games of the year.
