Don't get me wrong, successful superhero video games are rare. But rare doesn't mean they never happen. Every once in a while, we see a great game based on one of the two major superhero franchises. Historically, Marvel has had better luck with all of their characters, while DC has had particular success with Batman. This week, Epic Games gives us one of the best Marvel superhero games ever made.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is one of the best games ever made featuring Disney superheroes, and right now, for a limited time, you can get it completely free with just a free Epic Games Store account.
Marvel's Midnight Sun was released in December 2022 and ranked in the top 100 best-selling games of the year. Combining tactical role-playing elements with Slay the Spire-style deck-building mechanics, the main feature of the game is that players can create characters to suit the situation, customize them, and establish relationships with other characters. However, not for the romantic type. If you want to flirt with the Hulk or the Scarlet Witch, you will unfortunately have to wait for another game.
But that won't be the next game from the director of Marvel's Midnight Sun. Jake Solomon has left Firaxis Games to start a new studio called Midsommar Games, and its first game will be a life simulation game in a style similar to The Sims. It won't feature Marvel characters, but there will definitely be plenty of romance possibilities.
Marvel's Midnight Suns will be available for free on the Epic Games Store until next Thursday, June 13. After that, the next game to be offered for free on the platform is the futuristic racing game Redout 2.
