It is one of the most underrated games of all time IMO. It is what mass effect was for shooters, but for xcom style tactical games. It may not be for everyone but if you are in a mood for some marvel stuff and you like xcom, it is perfect.
There is A LOT of dialogue and while you can ignore some ambient dialogue, you cant skip direct dialogue. It is a “vibe” game and i think reviewers who are in a race to finish games, didnt like the vibe. But the characters and dialogue are surprisingly decent, marvel style stuff.
It is a very impressive game, in its artstyle and mechanics. You can see why they had high sales expectations. They have put a lot of thought and effort into it. And despite having cards, it feels less rng than xcom. Especially later on, you can manage rng better, you have more options.
I am not even a marvel fan, i think most of their movies are 6-7 out of 10 but i enjoyed learning about the characters and their in game renditions were fun(and moderately movie accurate). Xcom 2 is a top 10 game of all time for me. Midnight suns doesnt have the insane rng highs/lows and environmental spookiness(fog of war, etc) of xcom but midnight suns’ production values, characters and story might make it a better game.
PS You can have insane rng in midnight suns with pushing people off cliffs/into holes but thats a mechanic that i mostly avoided.
