Well, I don't like fighting games anyway.

I think it was on Humble just a while ago, wasn't it?

Yes, back in January of this year. It came with a free "Doctor
Strange" DLC too. I wasn't particularly sanguine about that one
either, but at least it offered a substantial expansion in the form of
the DLC. Which is more than Epic is offering.

I wouldn't really describe "Midnight Suns" as a fighting game, though
(well, not anymore than any game with combat is a 'fighting game').
It's more akin to a tactical-strategy game, like "XCOM", "Jagged
Alliance" or "Phoenix Point". Yes, many of the combat manuevers are
melee attacks (supermen like going hand-to-hand when thumping other
supermen after all) but it's not like you're ordering each uppercut
and kick, Street Fighter-style. It's a game that has a lot of
potential and, in fact, was done quite well with the old "Freedom
Force" titles back in early 2000s. But "Midnight Suns" ruined its
gameplay with -you guessed it- grindy gameplay and lots of MTX.

I guess most games would be fighting games if you just put your standards right. Even chess is technically a big old fighting game between two groups of bodyguards protecting their respective... uh... target?
