6 Trophies away from the Platinum, I may get to them when I get the DLC.
I think some of the character interactions are blown out of proportion. Having said that, it definitely is the weak point of the game, as is Hunter, the non-descript protagonist. I couldn't care less about the story and skipped most of the B-tier cutscenes (the ones in engine) but stuck around for the horribly low-res low bitrate cinematics. But towards the end with Chthon (in a truly epic fight) I even skipped the cinematics. The busy work is super busy and with 48 hours clocked, I'll say the day night cycle and the day-to-day system hinders the game. As does some of the unskippable action scenes when you play a card which is cool the first few times and at the end of a turn but some cards take forever. This was my first turn-based-card-based game but I was heavily hooked. The heroes all operate differently and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a fan of the friendship system. It's a bit of a shame that it is essentially window dressing and that there is no real romantic system that you can build with these characters even if they are professing their hyper platonic love for one another. Played on the PS5 in the normal difficulty mode at 1440p 60 fps (although any major damage effects or alpha effects tank the frame rate to the teens and even below as well as the traversal in the small map of the game).
Overall, I would recommend it to any Marvel games fan or anyone who likes this type of games provided with the caveat that they escape every cutscene and focus only on the gameplay.
