It's a sad fact that Marvel's Midnight Suns was a commercial flop for developer Firaxis. That's despite being so good that, when it launched part way into our Game of the Year 2022 deliberations, we scrambled to make it our runner up for the top honour. Sadly, there's little chance from here of the game getting the kind of post-release support that Firaxis' XCOM games so benefited from in the years after launch.
So, all that we got and all that we're likely to ever get was the four DLC packs that were already committed to when the game first went up for preorder. These four packs each added a new superhero to the roster—Deadpool, Venom, Morbius, and Storm—as well as a handful of story missions that all followed a conflict with a new enemy faction, the Vampyres.
Glad of any excuse to return to a game I still get so much strategy fun out of, I played through all four as they were released. Every time, they found new ways to disappoint me.
2K Games didn't say how many people have been put out of work, but the list includes well-known veterans of Civilization and Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Mystery game 4 that will be free on the Epic Games Store on June 6, as part of its Mega Sale giveaway is Marvel's Midnight Suns.
All playable March 19.
It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus
I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.
Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.
Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.
Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely
Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.
Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.
I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.
Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog
I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).
Despite still wanting to get this. I'm holding out for a re release of a complete package. I would've been fine if they just skipped dlc for this game altogether and got onto some xcom 3
Off topic but about the game.
As a player of their games I'm kinda turned off of the card system. So my best guess as someone who likes their games , the masses probably were also turned off of the card system. I think it would've been fine as an xcom type of game with superheroes.
XCOM3 is what we demand from Firaxis.
Agreed the bugs were atrocious
I would have day 1'd this if it weren't a card game. This is one case where an XCOM reskin might have been better.
