Midnight Suns is an intelligently designed hybrid of deck building and unit positioning. That also happens to be a fun Marvel Comics (note, not MCU) friendship simulator in the style of Mass Effect.

The gameplay alone is both engaging and unique enough that I would easily recommend to people regardless of their thoughts on superhero media.

Extended Thoughts

Midnight Suns was sadly slept on. I think the two reasons for so are:
1. Its gameplay is such that trying to accurately describe it in mass market advertising is a challenge. The only promo that showed the game off well were the developer driven "combat showcase" deep dives.
2. We hit a level of cape saturation, that people dismissed the game because they thought all the praise post-launch was coming from 'live-action cape adaptation uber fans' who have no taste. (Ironically the games fan-service is mostly surface level comic stuff that would be unknown to movie watchers.)

The saddest part of people not playing this gem is knowing I will never get a gameplay follow up to Midnight Suns that is a HoXPoX-era game. This being true while at the same time continuing to live in world were everyone now has opinions on superheroes is hell. One or the other, both is just cruel.
