For me Callisto being so short at 12ish hours puts it into the 'wait for a sale' territory, though I think that's also influenced by having so many free games to play on Playstation Extra.
There's no way I'm sitting through 60 hours of that cringe tier writing about Blade running a bookclub and talking about Wolverines favorite one, amongst whatever other pointlessly unnecessary "writing" they've thrown in here.
The thing that killed my hype is the card based system, i'll get stuck into the game at some point but I was hoping for something a little more like Xcom
Great stuff, good to see that it has a lot of meat on its bones. The idea of a tactical game more focused on raw strength and speed rather than hiding in cover is fun.
Damn, I will definitely keep this in my sights for maybe right after the Holiday. Still too much right now though. I like what I heard about the long cutscenes, I can dig that.
I asked for a bunch of PSN gift cards for Christmas and I just bought God of War Ragnarok. So I’m gonna wait until after the holidays to see what I’ll buy out of Midnight Suns, Callisto Protocol, Dead Space Remake (January), or Hogwarts Legacy (February).
I'll definitely check out more reviews but after fextralife said it's about 20% combat and 80% running around your base and talking to people, I'm not getting my hopes up
His review didn’t say it was only 20% combat he just stated it had more dialogue then he expected and if he was a Marvel fan he might have enjoyed it more.
This, along with the other reviews that came out today are enough for me to pull the trigger on this title now. This’ll be the perfect game for my December break this year :)
SkillUp loved the combat but thought the dialog was cheese, which seems consistent with both IGN's review and Fextralife's — they only vary in the degree they're annoyed by it.
I like their reviews usually-the recommendations from that channel on "B" games people might've overlooked were great. Turned me on to Wasteland 3 (for example), which was awesome and cheap. Recommend that to anyone who likes XCOM style stuff.
Oh thank christ. I've have had hope for this game the whole time, and I've been desperate for reviews all week. I don't entirely trust IGNs reviewers, but they didn't give it a 7 like they do everything else, which means they probably do legit feel like it's a good game. I feel so relieved now, I hope most other reviews follow suit
I recently got ps plus extra and noticed that there are a fair number of Marvel titles in the catalog. Even Guardians of the Galaxy, which only came out a year ago. Any guesses when Midnight Sun's might be on PS Plus?
I’m so torn! Ahhhhhhh. I want to get but then I don’t. I’m an all in person and I have cultivated a life that I can buy the games I want but I’m not sure about this one.
That doesn’t speak to the quality of the console version. With consoles they target specific hardware. There are many games that have great console versions and don’t perform well on pc and vice versa
I've heard this repeatedly from PS5 players who hit the "Ready to Play" button while the download was still running. Just close the game, wait for the download to complete, and run it normally. The "Ready to Play" button is drunk.
60 hour+ Campaign? That’s pretty beefy!

could be 300 hours depending how much you play and if the mechanics don't bore you out
Well callisto could be really bad and bomb in reviews
There's no way I'm sitting through 60 hours of that cringe tier writing about Blade running a bookclub and talking about Wolverines favorite one, amongst whatever other pointlessly unnecessary "writing" they've thrown in here.
Most of it is probably pointless dialogue. I’m going with Callisto first.
Well according to Skill Up it’s a long 60+ hours of repetitive levels or gameplay. He said it would have been better as a 30-40 hour experience.
Firaxis has never let me down yet!
That's high ass praise
The thing that killed my hype is the card based system, i'll get stuck into the game at some point but I was hoping for something a little more like Xcom
In my experience firaxis games on playstation tend to have dogshit performance that never get patched.
Gosh, seeing Larian makes me remember about the existence of Baldur’s Gate 3. When is that thing coming out? When will we see it on console?!
Really excited for Wolverine and Magik
Great stuff, good to see that it has a lot of meat on its bones. The idea of a tactical game more focused on raw strength and speed rather than hiding in cover is fun.
This ticks pretty much all the boxes for me.
DO IT!!!!
Can we Morb?
Yes... If you have the season pass :)
Could this finally be a game that gets me into the turn based genre? Huge marvel fan but never like turn based games.

"It has a little something for everyone!"
I'll definitely check out more reviews but after fextralife said it's about 20% combat and 80% running around your base and talking to people, I'm not getting my hopes up
I saw one review that said it's more like Fire Emblem than XCOM, and all I gotta say is FUCK YEAH because I love Fire Emblem even more than XCOM.
To be fair, every other review I've seen has said it's closer to 50/50
I see that sentiment a lot, and I don't get it. The Mass Effect games easily matched that ratio.
Skillup said the same thing. The combat is a blast but everything between that is pretty bad.
Watch ACG and/or Skillup's review..they are much more dependable...
That's literally most video games these days.
His review didn’t say it was only 20% combat he just stated it had more dialogue then he expected and if he was a Marvel fan he might have enjoyed it more.
ITT: people creaming their jeans over saying IGN is inflated and is paid for reviews.
According to commenters here, Poor marvel is so poor they could only afford to pay for an 8. IGN should give them some discount.
Not sure what you just wrote but IGN does inflate review scores. Wait for the real reviews before hitting the “buy” button.
You seem mad. Do you think those claims are unwarranted or something?
This, along with the other reviews that came out today are enough for me to pull the trigger on this title now. This’ll be the perfect game for my December break this year :)
ACG said deep sale, so that's a bummer
SkillUp loved the combat but thought the dialog was cheese, which seems consistent with both IGN's review and Fextralife's — they only vary in the degree they're annoyed by it.
Opinions are informative, but don't treat them as gospel or unquestionable truth.
I like ACG but he appears to be a bit of an outlier here. The review thread on
I feel like the quality of ACG reviews have gone way downhill. I don’t know if that’s because he’s pumping out more content or what.
Can’t always trust that guy.
I like their reviews usually-the recommendations from that channel on "B" games people might've overlooked were great. Turned me on to Wasteland 3 (for example), which was awesome and cheap. Recommend that to anyone who likes XCOM style stuff.
Yeah he's my go to guy for reviews, he reckons wait for sale.
Saw that this morning, just watching the game play it looked pretty bad.
[удалено]
Hmmm now do I get this or nfs…
Just know that whatever you pick we’ll still love you
Oh thank christ. I've have had hope for this game the whole time, and I've been desperate for reviews all week.

Gonna wait to see DF performance video. Previews were not good.
At least it’s turn-based, you won’t miss any shots!
Pray for Alex. #stutterstruggle
I recently got ps plus extra and noticed that there are a fair number of Marvel titles in the catalog. Even Guardians of the Galaxy, which only came out a year ago. Any guesses when Midnight Sun's might be on PS Plus?
Your guess is as good as ours.

Lets go!
All my homework is submitted for the week. Game already bought on steam, LETS FUCKING GO, I am so hyped for this game its right up my ally.
I’m so torn! Ahhhhhhh. I want to get but then I don’t. I’m an all in person and I have cultivated a life that I can buy the games I want but I’m not sure about this one.
ACG was not kind.
I foresee a very longing gaming session Saturday night
Day one Legendary edition for me! High hopes for this.
Great, I’m going to buy it because the recent previews have been pretty great across the board too. It sounds not only fun, but kinda funny too.
Based on SkillUps review, I’m not sure this game is for me. Seems like a wait for sale.
Don't treat internet reviewers as ultimate only deciders of games' quality.
Can't wait to play this
Wow, that does not look fun to me at all.
Wow
If it was more like divinity sin, then this game would be amazing
I’m sure it’ll be $30 soon..
19.99
IGN 8/10 means real world 6 or 7 out of 10.
[удалено]
No, that means their reviewer’s taste doesn’t align with yours and you should read another site for your reviews
Literally its lower than the current average for the game right now soo.... lol.
No.... You always subtract 3 from IGN. Most likely a 5/10
Game is stuttering even on rtx 2080. Not a good sign for console performance.
That doesn’t speak to the quality of the console version. With consoles they target specific hardware. There are many games that have great console versions and don’t perform well on pc and vice versa
Not necessarily - depends on where they put their efforts optimizing and how aggressive they were for consoles. We will have to wait and see.
£65, no chance.
For the standard edition*
I 100% think this game is not an 8 out 10 y’all just wait. I would not buy this mess at full price
I'll still probably pick this up on day 1.
This game looks like a dumpster fire. Marvels Avengers level.
Cards? No thanks. I hope this mechanic doesn't cross over to X-Com.
Capeshit 😍😍😍😍😍😍
It’s got a little something for everyone.
Hopefully they add multiplayer like Xcom 2at some point lol was super fun to play with a friend!
Every review I’ve seen has been the pc version, which makes me a bit worried about console
I can’t even get past the fucking first loading screen…. Audio and voice lines play but I’m stuck on a loading screen great start marvel!
I've heard this repeatedly from PS5 players who hit the "Ready to Play" button while the download was still running. Just close the game, wait for the download to complete, and run it normally. The "Ready to Play" button is drunk.
This game kicks ass
I will say the combat and voice acting is fantastic.
It is absolute shit.
[удалено]
It’s a tactical turn based rpg.
Check out the ACG review for a good 30 minute breakdown of pros and cons. After watching that I'm waiting for a huge discount.
would be great for my steam deck after a hefty discount
Ign is the last place you should listen to to decide if you will buy a game or not
Well if it helps, most other venues seem to be scoring it about the same too, with similar assessments.
Dude the first resident evil can be beating in like 1.5 hours… the 2nd one in like 2… just saying..
IGN gives amazing games a 9 good games an 8 and bad games a 7. Their reviews make no sense
... that makes perfect sense to me though, what's the problem? BTW this is definitely a good game.
