Marvel has been trying to ensure that all the glory that it has been collecting in the world of comics and, more recently, in the world of cinema, is transferred to video games. So far the experience has been bittersweet, with titles that have stuck ( Avengers ), compared to other more celebrated ( Guardians of the Galaxy ). Now, another one comes to us that changes the third and immerses us in a purely tactical and strategic development . What can you expect from Marvel’s Midnight Suns ?
The Children of Midnight arrive on our consoles
Last Friday, December 2, the game Marvel’s Midnight Suns arrived on various platforms such as PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC, one of the bets this year that comes to us from the hand of some gentlemen who many will sound like other games that have been released and hit the charts: Firaxis. To them we owe names like Civilization and XCOM . How does it sound?
This title is a complete tactical RPG that will take us to the comic book universe in which a terrible threat looms over our world and only a select few such as Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Spider-Man or the Scarlet Witch will be able to face it. One of the attractions of this new development, right off the bat, is that it features the first customizable superhero within a Marvel game , as well as a totally original story created especially for the video game.
The player will take possession of Hunter, the protagonist who will team up with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to defeat the fearsome Lillith. Now, Marvel’s Midnight Suns has that outer shell of heroes and villains who want to destroy the world order but, inside, a typical development of what we have been seeing in the XCOM series shines, although with limitations. That means managing a complete team of characters, their abilities, and turn-based combat that is structured from cards that give us powers, advantages, and resources.
A real joy that goes one step further in the Firaxis formula that has always offered such good results in all installments of the saga.
What is happening on PC?
It seems that it has become a habit that, of all the versions that reach the market, the PC version is the worst stop. Obviously it may be the one that manages to collect the least of all, but that’s not why computer users deserve this string of patches that are necessary to fix things. And unfortunately, those who have bought this Marvel’s Midnight Suns have had the china (the stone of the game) because you only have to take a look around Steam to see that tempers are running high. Or by Metacritic, where it collects a 4.8 score from PC users compared to 83 from critics and specialized media.
The main problem is the game stuttering that occurs even on hardware configurations that exceed the recommended requirements, which has no explanation, so hopefully in the next few days Firaxis will release a patch to fix it. altogether.
Are you going to buy it? If you are fans of Marvel and a development (more or less) XCOM do not hesitate. Another thing is that you want to experiment to try it. So, the best thing is that you wait until they update it and that you are able to hunt a good offer.
