Marvel’s Midnight Suns is one of the biggest surprises of 2022. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is also one of my personal favorite games of 2022. Those are both big statements, but as we reach the end of 2022, it’s hard to not contextualize every piece of entertainment within the scope of the year.
Yet, there are times when Midnight Suns doesn’t even feel like a 2022 game. It feels like a game from a bygone era in ways that often infuriated and delighted me in equal measure.
That’s the thing about Midnight Suns. It’s the kind of game that makes us confront the current state of gaming, what we’ve lost along the way, and how certain innovations and improvements have become irreplaceable standards that just might be more valuable than we’d sometimes like to believe.

When fans heard that Firaxis Games (the team behind the brilliant Xcom reboot) was making a Marvel strategy title, many assumed that project would basically be Xcom with superheroes. Indeed, some of the first rumors regarding the project suggested that it was shaping up to be exactly that.
So, when Firaxis confirmed that Marvel’s Midnight Suns is actually a card-based strategy game, many of those same fans seemed to be pretty upset. Some simply wanted an Xcom game with Marvel characters and didn’t understand why the game would deviate from that idea. Others heard the word “cards” and immediately thought of microtransaction-filled Ccg games. While Firaxis has made it clear that Midnight Suns is absolutely not that kind of game, the buzz around their project has cooled down considerably since the first details of its gameplay were confirmed.

San Sebastian – On Friday, Kristen Stewart and Benedict Andrews’ political thriller “Seberg” plays at the 67th San Sebastian Film Festival, where it opens Perlak, a section dedicated to the Spanish premieres of major international films. The star and her director addressed the media prior to the screening in the festival’s first high-profile press conference, held at the seaside Kursaal congress center.
In the film, Stewart plays real life American actress Jean Seberg, who starred in Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless.” Set against a turbulent political backdrop of late-1960s U.S.A., “Seberg” tells a fictionalized version of how the star was targeted by the FBI through an illegal surveillance program, Cointelpro, after voicing her support of the Black Panther Party and her romantic involvement with civil rights activist Hakim Jamal.
Eventually, and under dubious circumstances, the actress took her own life.
“Seberg” has received mixed reviews since premiering at Venice last month,...
