10 Video Game Rewards You Unlock For Doing Completely Mundane Things

Marvel's Midnight Suns is not only a fusion of Marvel and XCOM; it's also a bizarre mix between a strategy game and a dating sim.

Midnight Suns' gameplay is divided into two sections: turn-based battle sequences and off-time at the abbey, where you can interact with all of the heroes and do side-activities with them. Those who play the game solely for the fighting sections might feel tempted to skip the abbey stuff, but that would be a grave mistake. Spending time with your heroes—watching movies and sunbathing by the pool—is the key to unlocking their full potential.

This is because of the built-in friendship system, which not only provides all of the heroes with powerful buffs but can also unlock exclusive abilities for them. For example, frequently going on fishing trips with Blade might make him like you so much that he will start applying extra bleeding damage to all enemies in the fight.

It turns out that slacking off can be just as effective for getting fighting experience as actual training. It's just a matter of knowing which movie to pick when having a night off with Captain America or Wolverine.
