Marvel’s Midnight Suns es un juego que ataca varios frentes y en todos ellos consigue ser interesante, pero brilla especialmente en su apartado social y en su propuesta de combate con cartas. Aunque Firaxis ha sabido plantear toda una serie de escenarios y retos, las más de 60 horas de juego le llegan a pasar factura, habiéndome encontrado con escenarios repetidos y mecánicas que se vuelven algo monótonas. Sin embargo, la fuerte conexión emocional que he establecido con sus personajes y la variedad de estrategias con las que me he encontrado a través de los distintos mazos de combate, convierten a Marvel’s Midnight Suns en un juego que no dudaría en recomendarte si, como en mi caso, disfrutas del rol táctico y tienes ganas de conocer más de este singular grupo de superhéroes.
Eurogamer - Sin puntuación
Puede que no veamos muchos anuncios sobre el juego o que se haya quedado fuera de las quinielas para el GOTY, pero sin duda Midnight Suns es una sorpresa más que agradable, que apuesta por un sistema de combate divertidísimo, y que destaca por su componente social y el cariño con el que trata a todos los personajes. Es capaz de atraparte incluso aunque consideres que este género o tipo de aventuras no es lo tuyo, porque tiene tantas cosas buenas que, al final, abrazas lo que te ofrece.

Con Marvel's Midnight Suns, Firaxis se ha puesto a la altura de desarrolladores de RPG como BioWare, Obsidian, Bethesda y Larian. Su innovador sistema de combate de héroes por turnos tarda un poco en ponerse en marcha, pero una vez que lo hace, hace un uso excelente de la mecánica de los juegos de cartas para mantener las batallas frescas, evolutivas e impredecibles en el transcurso de una campaña de duración épica: golpear a los enemigos contra cosas para aumentar el daño es un entretenimiento infinito.
Meristation - 8,3 / 10,0
Marvel´s Midnight Suns es un juego de estrategia por turnos basado en cartas que se aleja de los cánones. Toma prestados sin ningún tipo de rubor elementos de otros géneros y los incorpora de manera orgánica, pese a que ello suponga que el usuario tenga que gastar un considerable tiempo en labores secundarias: creación de objetos, exploración, conversaciones… Las batallas son intensas, en escenarios pequeños y las numerosas configuraciones de equipos palían la presencia de unos enemigos demasiado repetitivos. Los amantes de la gran estrategia posiblemente encuentren este título liviano; como contraprestación hay un cuidado extremo en cómo se han recreado los personajes de Marvel, tanto en su estética como en sus habilidades.

La experiencia de Firaxis se fusiona a la perfección con el universo Marvel para ofrecernos una aventura completa, espectacular e interesante. Aunque no seas un habitual de la estrategia, deberías darle una oportunidad.

"A fun combat system gets lost in insanely small combat locations, repetitive mission structure, and terrible writing and voiceovers that make no sense. STILL could be fun if you can ignore all that"

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
At the end of the day it is a worthwhile video game, as long as you keep in mind that it is a turn-based tactics, a genre that is gradually becoming more popular thanks to how fun it can be today. And if that is combined with Marvel characters, it's clear that fans will want to check it out.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is huge, not only in terms of the apocalyptic demons and Elder Gods story it tells over the course of several cinematic story missions but in how the relationships between all the superheroes and The Hunter develop over the course of dozens of hours. In Midnight Suns you take on the role of The Hunter, a superhero and partial blank canvas that you can define the look of, choose all of the various outfits they'll wear, and even decide how best to decorate their room at The Abbey.
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 fantastic tactical adventure that adds much-needed depth to the superhero genre. Taking advantage of deeper-cut characters and lore, a heartfelt and sweeping story is told, even finding a way to make an entirely new character fit into the fray. Accompanying that are engaging and curious mysteries to find around the Abbey grounds and a nice feeling of found family among friends. Losing track of time as I had talks with my favourite superhumans, doing whatever menial task at hand too was a particular highlight. Even in these moments of charming oddities, characterisation is stellar. Rounding it all off is another superb tactical experience from Firaxis Games, this time going all in on approachability and options to dominate the battlefield in your own personal ways. This is one of the best tactical games of the year. Marvel as a franchise still has some fight in it yet, and I can't wait to have more experiences like this from them in the future.
A supremely dense hybrid of many different genres and styles, Marvel's Midnight Suns is an absolutely smashing time and one of 2022's best.
In several respects, Midnight Suns reflects the tendencies of the more streamlined, popcorny, and entertaining MCU films. It isn’t what I expected, in a good way. It’s incredibly easy to recommend to any Marvel fan, and is simple enough to pick up and play for strategy newcomers.
Marvel's Midnight Suns shines brightly in a year full of excellent strategy RPGs thanks to a heartfelt love for the license, and a huge roster of fantastically realized characters to go along with a unique card-based battle system.
While there's definitely some filler to be found within the walls of the Abbey, this is an interesting new take on Marvel's mystical side, and one I can't wait to see more of.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is as good of an RPG as it is a strategy game.
Great tactical fun nestled in a sweet-natured superhero dollhouse

Marvel's Midnight Suns kept us glued to the screen for hours, making the most of each of its playful components.
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.
Despite being an uneven experience, Midnight Suns is ultimately still a good game that's worth a try for tactics and Marvel fans.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is rough around the edges, but its solid strategy mechanics and addicting team-building elements make it a compelling game.
Marvel's Midnight Suns manages to meet the hype strongly with an enjoyable cast, an engrossing story, and unique turn- and card-based gameplay to mix it up a bit. If not for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, this would easily be the best Marvel game.
Whether you’re a fan of strategy games or the Marvel universe, Marvel’s Midnight Suns should be considered a must-have. Even more so if you’re a fan of both. This is an ambitious title that offers dozens of hours of engrossing gameplay, full of battles that will have you on the edge of your seat, and party building that will have you carefully weighing up your options. One of the best superhero games ever made, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will grip you from the outset with its unpredictable story, and its gameplay makes you feel like the one with all the power.
Marvel's Midnight Suns delivers strong tactical combat scenarios in a fun superhero romp where it's worth putting stock in the power of friendship.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a very good tactical RPG. A real ode to the Marvel universe that has enough qualities and fan service to please everyone. Combats, scenario, casting, everything is look great. Only regret, the game is sometimes a little slow in its implementation, with a lot of dialogues.
Marvel's Midnight Suns has a fun campaign packed with really in-depth systems. Every facet of the social interaction and the card-based combat system should clash, considering how far apart they are in presentation and function. However, the two halves come together to create a great Marvel game. It lives up to the legacy of tactical depth Firaxis is known for, without copying and pasting XCOM with Marvel heroes and calling it a day.
Marvel Midnight Suns show a unique understanding of strategic game, making the combat gameplay under the card system more addictive than ever. Each system is coupled so well together that you'll be plunged into it for dozens of hours without realizing it. For fans of Marvel superheroes, it's like a well-curated feast.
While its ideas may be supernaturally-charged, and inspired by one of the strangest periods in Marvel Comics, it remains grounded and personal – imbuing its excellent tactical combat with high emotions and stakes. In dark times, light can still shine – and in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you and your team of heroes are that light.
"Life in the Abbey becomes something of a cross between XCOM 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses"
Marvel's Midnight Suns, unfortunately, is one of those games that I can only recommend if you're willing to stick around its noticeable issues. As it currently stands, the game has the foundations for a phenomenal turn-based strategy game, and the gameplay variety offered by the different heroes you can play is a lot of fun. The writing and story, however, are not good reasons to play this game.
To sum it all up, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is everything a licensed game can be with a sprinkling of Firaxis magic in many areas. The action is bombastic and great to see in action, the top-tier tactical depth and strategic play deliver near-infinite replayability, and the narrative does consistently surprise in the most pleasant of ways. While there are areas that can be further refined, it shouldn’t take too much away from what is a quintessential turn-based affair, and a true superhero fantasy come to life.
With Marvel's Midnight Suns, Firaxis has ripped out the insides of its own machine and replaced it with an Adamantium skeleton, then given it a little hotrod-red for the hell of it.
Making good use of the comics, this turn-based strategy games gives players satisfyingly fiendish challenges – and room to chillax afterwards
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.
IGN Italy - Italian - 8.7 / 10
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.
Is Marvel's Midnight Suns a great game? I don't think so. I think it's tactics are fun and solid, but they take a backseat to the RPG and relationship elements. Your enjoyment of those elements rely far too heavily of your investment on the Marvel formula, and for me there just isn't enough of a meaningful pull to go through these laborious conversations for hours on end to have just a side of tactics. Your mileage may vary, but I feel that for many, this will be a game that goes down as an interesting experiment that will be copied by others, and those games will benefit from the risks that Midnight Suns has taken.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a stellar outing from Firaxis, and it’s a great choice for those looking for a deeply strategic game that has layers of systems working together to provide an engaging combat loop that will keep you looking forward to the next one.
Depending on your tastes, the Abbey section may or may not be to your liking. Due to the fact that it was a section that required a lot of reading and dialog, the bad writing really struck a nerve with me and made the whole experience quite tedious. In the end, though, the fun of the combat sequences can make you overlook all of this, giving you that “one more game” itch to scratch.
Who knew Sid Meier's protégés had a secret, and completely brilliant, Persona game in them?
A superhero game that teases the brain as much as it can tug at the heart, with rich strategy mechanics, great writing, and wonderful characters. A few bugs and visual problems aside, this is a great tactical RPG.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a game full of rich texture. The voice acting is superb and the abbey’s relationship-building is the perfect chill interlude to the tactically sophisticated card play. The two formats are beautifully intertwined through the accrual of additional cards and abilities, and there’s a genuine sense of satisfaction in deepening both battlefield prowess and social role-playing connections. Midnight Suns is not XCOM — but that’s ultimately its greatest strength. It’s something completely distinct and entirely exceptional.
Marvel Midnight Suns is, by and large, an unfulfilling superhero title that is only as endurable as it is courtesy of how great Firaxis are at what they do. There's a lot of heroes and just as many hollow hellos between them that makes me wish all of the story's character drama was checked at the door for more of what Midnight Suns does well.
Despite a troubled road to release, Marvel's Midnight Suns is an excellent tactical RPG that delivers an awesome roster of heroes with a compelling battle system throughout its lengthy campaign.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Unscored
It's a better superhero game than it is strategy game, but if you're a fan of the MCU, Marvel's Midnight Suns is absolutely essential. Not only is this an ambitious tactics RPG that captures the fast, frothy fun of its comic book source material, but it's also a brilliant marriage of Into The Breach's intellectual conundrums and the turn-stretching power fantasy of Gears Tactics. The best Marvel game by a country mile.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is a love letter to Marvel's fans who loves Tactical RPG games, with engaging story and great turn based card system it kept me engaged for the entire 60 hours. But with them making the game expecting the players to be expert in the Marvel lore made some parts of the story and characters forgettable
Spaziogames - Italian - 8 / 10
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a successful experiment: mixing up both Marvel's worlds and a soul that comes directly from X-COM, the game manages to offer a layered and smart gameplay that, even if we can't say that everything is always at the right place and at the right pace, works and entertains amazingly.
Midnight Suns is long and overloaded with systems (I didn’t even mention the light/dark faux-morality system, or new game plus, or levelling up your dog), but it is fun, both its combat and its superhero friendship simulation. The combat is good enough to keep you wanting more, and the story and character moments interesting enough that I didn’t mind how much they punctuated the flying fists and swinging swords. Making fighting alongside Wolverine as interesting as having a fireside chat with him is a tough ask, and Midnight Suns has nailed it.
The Games Machine - Italian - 8.2 / 10
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.
While it's undeniably a quirky mash-up of cards, tactics, and dating sims, Midnight Suns is a focused, well-structured, and fully realized experience. It doesn’t try to please everyone, but if you’re willing to go along for the ride, you’ll find a tactics game that shakes the foundation of the entire genre, along with one of the most compelling Marvel stories ever told.
Marvel's Midnight Suns exceeded my expectations to be one of my favourite games of the year. With a good Marvel story and the ability to make friends on top of excellent turn-based tactical combat systems, Marvel's Midnight Suns is a super experience.

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.
Midnight Suns is honestly a brilliant bloody time: an extremely fun tactical RPG nestled amongst an adorably wholesome relationship simulator. A superhero game which understands that the appeal of comics is often much less about punching Venom than it is about seeing a bunch of daft looking folk cutting about in a big house, being nice to each other, bickering about leaving towels on the floor. Real stuff. Relatable stuff. The stuff of life.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns combines addictive, deep strategy gameplay with a cast of characters that make the moments outside of the action just as rich and enjoyable as those in it. A lengthy campaign packed with missions to go on and relationships to form with Earth's Mightiest Heroes make Marvel's Midnights Suns a modern strategy classic and one of 2022's biggest surprises.
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.
A tight card-driven skirmisher is the beating heart of a deeply troubled Marvel game, burdened by feature creep and endless hours of terrible dialogue.
