What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $8.99. That was November 2024. It has been discounted 35 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 20 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gloomhaven ($9.79, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters ($44.99, scores 41).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 1,101 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency); the score docks it lightly for that.
40.5 hours to finish it, 97 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.4 times the campaign.

What players say
Unexpectedly the best feature I had with the game are the conversations to be had with heroes during down time. I didn't expect I would find myself investing my time in the relationship aspects of the game. Feels like part Persona and part XCOM. There are a ton of value to be had here - I am only a few hours in but I do get a sense the game extends beyond what I expect it to be. I am mixed with how the card system...
As a mixed review isn't available, I've erred on the side of recommending it. The gameplay/combat is incredibly fun, interesting, challenging and rewarding. It feels gratifying to see a series of tactical decisions, that employ your characters' abilities and enviromental factors, play out effectlively. Each skirmish is like a combat puzzle and you're always vying to solve it in the most efficient way possible. It is...
I've never had a game tell me to turn the difficulty up when I level up. That seems like bad game design. The combat also just throws more bad guys at you over and over again instead of making the bad guys on screen stronger. Terrible UI choices too. You can't pause during cut scenes, you can't fast travel during the day, and the save system is awful. If you fail a mission, you have to retry it endlessly unless you...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Marvel's Midnight Suns scores 48/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/368260/marvel-s-midnight-sunsThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
