The Abbey portions of the game just aren't for me. I both see and applaud what they're doing, and it's enjoyable, mostly. It's not Three Houses, or Mass Effect, understandably, but it's also not as engaging as 2021's Guardians of the Galaxy was.

Midnight Suns is a by the numbers, linear waypoint following, Dragon Age Inquisition copying, videogame ass videogame. It wants to be such a big game with all it includes. All the systems makes sense and they work well, but starting out it's tutorial boxes and reams of dialogue about said new upgrade from Carol in HR. Don't forget to go see Tony and Stephen to open your new loot boxes...I fast forward and skip almost everything I do in the Abbey.

The combat is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I'm having the time of my life every time. It's simple. It's deep. The card system is great.
