For a long time, DC wore the crown when it came to comic book games. Rocksteady Studios\u2019 \u201cArkham\u201d series was the first modern title that was legitimately in the game of the year discussion and entries such as \u201cLego Batman\u201d and \u201cThe Wolf Among Us\u201d were deserving of praise.<\/p>\n
But in the past few years, Marvel has made strides. Developer Insomniac has done wonders with the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d franchise and Second Dinner beautifully translated the Marvel universe into a fast-paced card game. Now, Firaxis Games, the studio behind the \u201cSid Meier\u2019s Civilization\u201d series and the rebooted \u201cXCOM,\u201d has taken its hand at mutants and Avengers with surprisingly good results.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarvel\u2019s Midnight Sons\u201d is the studio\u2019s take on the superhero genre. It puts players mostly in the shoes of an original character called the Hunter. The player-created hero is the offspring of Lilith, the mother of demons, who is reawakened by Hydra. While the evil organization wants to use her power, she aims to reawaken the elder god Chthon. The Hunter defeated Lilith in the past and is resurrected to take her on once again.<\/p>\n
