My BFF Tony Stark.
I don’t really consider myself much of a tactical RPG guy. The closest equivalent I’ve thrown myself into is the Mario + Rabbids series, looked upon as a watered-down familyfriendly take on the genre. It’s not until Marvel’s Midnight Suns that I’ve really understood why people invest countless hours in them.
Developed by Firaxis Games – known for XCOM and Sid Meier’s Civilization – Marvel’s Midnight Suns snuck into the end of 2022 in an awkward December release spot that I’m sure didn’t help it garner the recognition it deserves. As a superhero aficionado I try to play most major games from the worlds of Marvel and DC, and yet I wasn’t too fussed about this one. It wasn’t until murmurs of its quality started to be heard around the PC Gamer office and parts of the web that I realised I should probably give it a go. I did the same with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, leaving it until a couple of months after launch – which,subsequently ended up being my game of the year.
