Basically, title
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm hooked on Marvel's Midnight Suns right now. It's a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I'd say it's at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.
Edit: Also Nico Minoru is a possible party member, and I fucking love Runaways.
I'm nearing the end if my Marvel Suns phase... picked it up on sale on the PS5 a few months back. Played through twice... am hanging on to that last little bit of the playthrough.
I still snagged the Epic one immediately. Downside is that if I ever get back to beat the PC version, I'll probably have to grab the DLCs... not so much for the missions and characters as for Morbius' lab, which allows you to bump up your stats and make your characters even more OP and take on harder difficulties.
I enjoyed the XCOM-like parts, but couldn't stand the running around, material gathering stuff. Just let me be super heroes non-stop battling bad guys, with a little bit of room between fights for upgrades. I don't want to go fishing with Blade.
Gathering materials does suck, yeah. Rarely an activity I enjoy in any game.
I can respect the opinion of wanting to skip the social parts, that's definitely not for everyone.
Some of them I really like though, like Nico's always doing these side-eyed references to movies without actually naming them (Pulp Fiction, The Room, etc.)
