Just managed it myself.

I unironically enjoyed it. Yes, the cutscene losses were a bit annoying, but the encounter design of the finale was great.

Granted, the game somehow thought _Wanda_ was one of my 'strongest' characters, which was annoying in the second phase. And Nico too for some reason. I wonder if it's based on plot, number of after-cap levels, hangouts ... etc. That or I just got a bad random decision roll, since almost everyone was at social 5 or more.

Comparatively speaking, the portions with Carol or Ilyana were a bit of a cakewalk.

The unlikely team that took out possessed!Hunter in the first phase ended up being Logan, Eddie and Morbius ... appropriate, given the last lines of the pre battle banter Hunter shared with Morbius went something along the lines of: "So, what's your catchphrase? It's time to Morb?"

I dearly hope we get _some_ form of follow up, but I'm not so sure given the game is reportedly a commercial flop. We may need to live with the cliffhanger.

I might do an NG+ playthrough once some time has passed and Storm has been added to the roster.
