Xbox Game Studios and Compulsion Games' South of Midnight will target a frame rate of 60 fps on both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
"South of Midnight is a solid action-adventure title elevated by its style, storytelling and cast of memorable characters."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In the end, South of Midnight's dividing line is the contrast between its artistically-inspired choices and pre-packaged gameplay. Emphasizing the latter is perfectly reasonable; how you reach a conclusion plays a significant role alongside the who, what, where, and why. And seeing such propulsive enthusiasm within its few boss encounters not replicated more broadly does create a certain whiplash. However, my own teetering point stems from seeing Compulsion's latest as – strangely – a collected sum of its parts, as if entrenching a standardized foundation was necessary to focus those creative energies everywhere else."
MonsterVine: "South of Midnight blends Southern Gothic storytelling with platforming and combat, but despite its standout art style and regional flair, the gameplay never rises above “just fine.”"
Looking forward to this one. I really dig the main characters 'spiderverse' animation style.
Day one . I miss creative games like this.
Stop motion looks cool. I’ll get it at some point for sure. Normally I buy most games I want day one but my backlog is ridiculous so I’m being a little pickier than usual. I may still get it day one though hehe
Really like the stop motion, but God that combat is terrible.
I will be playing this around launch on gamepass
