"But while Midnight Suns is a little out of the wheelhouse for Firaxis, it was also fun to play." "Marvel's Midnight Suns was surprising in that, while it looks a bit like the XCOM games, it tends to feel drastically different from them. This version of Spider-Man is completely different to Insomniac's version though, as the only similarities that these two incarnations share is the same voice actor, powers, and a wardrobe full of alternate costumes.
