I love this game without reservation. I love the goofy characters, the story, and all the puzzles. Even the obligatory stealth section is good.

TriffTshngo posted:

Seriously, it's a genuine masterpiece. The gameplay is creative, clever, and fun even a decade+ later, the writing is on point, the core plot is engrossing, and the characters are almost all ridiculously memorable. To make an extremely bold statement, I think it's EASILY in the running for best ending to a video game of all time.

This won't be for everyone but if you liked Fire Emblem 3 Houses it's like that with superheroes.

Kull the Conqueror posted:

I’m close to embarrassed at how much I loved this game. Sure, the core deck-building/card-playing mechanics are expertly designed. And yes, your superhero pals look and sound extremely cool in action. And I suppose it was wonderful to create a central character so goofy-looking (^^^) that everything he does on screen is hilarious.

biceps crimes posted:

The tactical combat is the best I’ve played in any game. The hero decks are all well balanced, and the combat produces so many satisfying situations where I feel like I won a victory by the slimmest of margins. This game challenges me but also makes me feel like a genius with almost every mission.

I tried the Marvel Tactics game on one of those time limited demos on PSN and it's surprisingly fun. A lot of people probably didn't give it s chance based on the license, but it's pretty cool!

To be honest, I almost didn't want to like the game. It was so hyped up last year I was wondering if it would live up to that hype and actually impress me. Needless to say, it lived up to that hype. After the first few hours I was hooked.

Sir_Phobos posted:

When you play, you'll create a journey that is meaningful to you because you did it all on your own (or with the help of friends that you've summoned). That's why this game is incredible. Beautiful, enigmatic, and challenging, it represents the best of what gaming can offer.
