Our runner up Game of the Year is Marvel's Midnight Suns.
In our second-favorite game of 2022, Firaxis' turn-based pedigree matched well with a party-based RPG to deliver a surprisingly big singleplayer game, one that took 70+ hours to complete. Visit ourFive years since the disappointment of Mass Effect: Andromeda, Firaxis hits us with an inspired, surprisingly heartfelt party-RPG firmly in BioWare's storytelling style.
Once I do finally pick a fight with a pack of Hydra goons or Lilith's surprisingly organized demons, this abnormal RPG wins me over again. I was one of the cover-based tactics fans dismayed to learn Firaxis was jumping on the deckbuilding trend. There are officially Too Many Card Games, but Midnight Suns' combat is so good that I just have to shut up about it.
Instead, you have a thoughtful, robust card system that encourages fun and creative solutions to fun combat puzzles. More importantly, each character plays exactly how they should. Spider-man twips around his webs doing whatever a spider can while Captain America shield bashes magical fascists off buildings. For America.I read a pitch for the Marvel comic Nextwave once, which explained how important it is to see superheroes kicking people, making things explode, and posing for no reason.
Then there's Magik. She has an ability called Kick, which is literally just a kick. It's a solid thing of straightforward beauty, especially when she's booting someone into one of her magic portals that leads to somewhere mysterious and painful.
