Marvel's Midnight Suns.

Supposed to be a tactics based card battler. I played 10 hours and I think I did 3 or 4 battles. So much talking and relationship stuff where saying just the right things out of 3 random options will help advance your status. Just really not what I wanted but too late to refund once I realized that the real game wasn't coming.

Oh yeah and so much running through the forest looking for shiny things.

    I always felt Midnight Suns was let down because of how it was marketed. It was sold as that tactics battler and wore the studios XCOM games and I avoided it for ages even though the mystic sci-fi setting was right up my alley. Turns out the game is one of my favorites.

    If they had said "It's Fire Emblem but less grid" I think it would have landed much better.

    I really enjoyed the game, but I may have just gotten lucky with the timing. I wanted a slower paced decision-making game.

    I do think the game would benefit hugely from a Quickplay and/or Challenge mode. The combat was a blast once it got going. That's the biggest thing keeping me from replaying it
