Midnight Suns is a fun game, but the story and characters do their best to try and ruin it. The plot feels overly long when the main characters rehash the same arguments over and over, and the heroes never accomplish anything for the vast majority of the game. They're handed loss after loss after loss, and it just gets boring. The game is about twice as long as the story can support.

the animations for repeated actions like opening an artifact and what not look really incredible and I cannot understand why some of the models (particularly the abbey outfits/daytime wear) are just so dogshit. even the textures are serviceable. it's a minor complaint I guess because the core gameplay loop is pretty fun
Similar to Eidos Montreal's 'GotG' in that I went into 'Midnight Suns' low on expectations but high on superhero fatigue and ended up pleasantly surprised by how fun it is. I just might buy this after the free weekend.
Couldn't finish the final boss. The performance that's not ideal but endurable for the majority of the game becomes nauseating here. I know the issue stems from that shovelware launcher 2K includes in their games but I'm too worried about losing my save if I try and fix this now when I've already all but reached the end. Might do another run down the line.
Gameplay loop as absolutely sick can see myself plundering 100+ hours from this. Wish it had more commercial appeal and also wish XCOM didn't run like dogshit on PS5
Destined to be a cult classic. The combat is amazing and although I wish the endgame was harder (even at Ultimate 3), the difficulty curve getting there was perfectly tuned with upping the difficulty whenever it prompts you. The story also won’t win any writing awards but it was pretty decent. Everyone calling is horrible really oversold it. Voice acting is also pretty good across the board. PS4 version is also ridiculously buggy and with constant texture issues. Nothing game breaking but it’s in a pretty dire state.
