My first big video game of the year was "Marvel's Midnight Suns" - and despite not knowing much about it before I picked it up, I ended up loving it! If you're familiar with the XCOM series of tactical, turn-based combat, that's pretty much what this was (same developer), but with Marvel characters. I appreciated the game's inclusion of well-known characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Spiderman and Captain Marvel (who I, surprisingly, thought was really cool), and also enjoyed getting to know some new characters like Nico Minoro and Magik. I won't bore you here with the nuts and bolts of the game, but I can simply say that I recommend it for Marvel fans who want a different spin on some of their favorite superheroes. My only real problem with the game was that there was a ton of dialogue and, aside from important story-focused conversations, largely revolved around water cooler chatter and kissing the main character's butt to tell me how cool and great I am. (I mean, they weren't wrong, but it was pretty excessive.)
One of my favorite aspects of the game was its photo mode, and I spent a good deal of time snapping pictures of my heroes as they kicked some undead and HYDRA booty. Here are a couple dozen of my favorite shots from my 70+ hours spent with "Midnight Suns":
