The Hunger is the third add-on content for the card-based RPG Marvel’s Midnight Suns, introducing players to the character Morbius. If Deadpool feels it’s meant to please fans and Venom is just an irreplaceable addition to the game’s plot, Morbius is a different story. This character should “compete” the players’ attention with Blade, a character available in the original game with many similarities that are not small when both are vampires. However, Morbius has its price.
The problem is that The Hunger DLC is priced out of proportion to two previously released DLCs, The Good, the Bad, and the Undead and Redemption in terms of content. This character’s play doesn’t advance the story in a positive way, but is just a basis for the development team to create a new threat but close the curtain very quickly. Not to mention, the content in this DLC contains repetitions of old missions and there are also no new epic battles like the Redemption DLC. In fact, The Hunger’s biggest plus point is the humorous element between Morbius and the other characters.
Morbius’ fighting ability is a combination of Blade and Wolverine’s personalities. The biggest advantage of this character is the ability to attack multiple targets, cause bleeding effects, and the masking skill “Australian Camouflage”. In particular, it is impossible not to mention the ability to control enemies and turn them into temporary allies on our side. However, Morbius’ choice to fight also requires bringing a character capable of taunting or parrying, if you don’t want to rely too much on Morbius’ hidden “stealth” skill.
Like the Redemption DLC, The Hunger leaves the writer feeling like a piece of content that was intentionally cut by the developer from the original game to create the DLC. Therefore, if you want to experience the new story, you must purchase all three of these downloadable items. The consolation is that Morbius is a strong, if not the strongest character currently available as of The Hunger DLC, but that’s when you find the right tactics and teammates to help your character in battle. However, Morbius’ skills aren’t new, but they just seem like a mixture of other characters.
Conversely, if you love the upgrade for Abbey, the DLC The Hunger is totally worth it. However, even in the easy case, it is still difficult for the writer to avoid the feeling that it was deliberately cut from the original game by the developer and sold as DLC at a rather high price compared to what was received. Not to mention, The Hunger’s duration is as short as the previously released DLC, but it doesn’t unlock as many plot details to keep players attractive as the two released DLCs. This is a problem that is difficult to accept.
After all, Marvel’s Midnight Suns: The Hunger shows the developer is showing signs of exhaustion when it doesn’t add as much content as the previous two, and it doesn’t give players the feeling of excitement as expected, especially after what’s been received in the good, the bad, the rotten, and the redemption. If you liked the Morbius character and were interested in the new plot ending, this could be an interesting addition, and vice versa.
