Marvel's Midnight Suns' DLC has been a huge disappointment.
It's a sad fact that Marvel's Midnight Suns was a commercial flop for developer Firaxis. That's despite being so good that, when it launched part way into our Game of the Year 2022 deliberations, we scrambled to make itfor the top honour. Sadly, there's little chance from here of the game getting the kind of post-release support that Firaxis' XCOM games so benefited from in the years after launch.
The four new heroes all feel completely half-baked and uninspired in battle. Bland attack animations and boring mechanics make them a shadow of the excellent cast of the core game. Some feel cobbled together out of existing elements—such as Venom animations copied over from his boss form, or Morbius' Bloodlust mode being a clear reskin of Captain Marvel's Binary power.
And slogging through them is really all you do in the story missions. Almost all of the missions just involve mindlessly killing vamps—at best, you sometimes have to kill certain ones before others. Most egregious is the boss fights. You end up fighting Nazi vampire Sin about four or five times, and every time she has the exact same mechanics: she does a basic damage attack twice on her turn, and if you hit her, it taunts her allies onto you. That's it.
The only credit I can give is that the new characters are at least well served in the superhero friendship simulator portion of the game. Each character has a full relationship tree complete with tons of dialogue and little narrative events—as personalities, they're completely made to feel like proper members of the crew, even if their limp decks don't back it up in battle.
