I’ve been playing it for a good couple months and I’m still nowhere near tired of it, I’ll actually replay the whole game once I beat it because it’s so much fun. Love the story and voice acting too. This game goes on sale a lot so I’d highly suggest getting jt for cheap and trying it out
I happen to have a friend who works at Firaxis and worked on Midnight Suns. I am really happy for him/the team that game came out as well as it did.
The overworld running could certainly be better, but overall that game is super good. I really like the turn from Xcom of a somewhat fake 97% to hit (where your character right next to an alien will still miss) to simply having everything hit but it’s restricted by the skills you have at hand in that moment. I’d be more excited about a Midnight Suns 2 than Civ VII, honestly.
its a shame there is an almost 0% chance of a sequel, as i think a midnight suns-like game set in the x-mansion would be incredible. but i heard that some of the devs from midnight suns are now working on a star wars game in the same vein, that would be super cool
If you hate XCOM’s PRNG hit percentages, you may want to try or watch Hard West. It has somewhat deterministic luck mechanic, that prevents idiocy that happens in XCOM. The game itself is a bot buggy, though.
