Venture City is, in some ways, exactly what you would look for when searching for an easy, roleplay heavy game about superheroes and the city they protect. It's got tons of powers, ways to mix and match, and ways that these powers manifest to make even one super with invisibility play differently than another (for instance, blending in with environments with camouflage vs. having the shadows coallesce around you and hide you).

However, I do have some of the same complaints that I've seen others list here: the math on some of these powers is pretty game breaking. To use the invisibility example from before, it's possible to get up to +8 Stealth just on your invisibility power stunt, to say nothing of your mundane stealth skill, making it nearly impossible for anyone to detect them (of course, this is the point of the major boost to the skill, but that means that even other modes of detection such as hearing, touch, infrared and so on are probably not going to roll high enough to detect the super ever). I would have leaned more heavily into advantages, aspects, and boosts for powers where applicable.

Do not get me wrong: I've played two campaigns using this game and I did enjoy them both, but I still think there's still areas that I would want to see improvement.
