Looking forward to this one. I really dig the main characters 'spiderverse' animation style.

LoveSpuds71d ago

Yup, I think it's the aesthetics that caught my eye and the more I've seen about the game, the more interesting it seems. Really hope this game lands well.

Johnh522372d ago

Day one . I miss creative games like this.

jznrpg72d ago

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

tay870172d ago

Really like the stop motion, but God that combat is terrible.

--Onilink--71d ago

I wouldn’t say it looks terrible, but it definitely seems to be the weakest part of the package so far (though again, not bad per se). Most previews today seem to align with that, though they did state it was still quite an early section of the game

But in general its still looking quite good

ravens5271d ago

From the preview reviews, the combat is indeed the weakest part of the game. Kinda funny compared it to Kena. The combat wasn't amazing in that game but i still enjoyed it, I'm sure I'll enjoy South of Midnight as well.

OldDuffer71d ago

Agreed the combat looks awful - that's why you can turn it off no doubt...

I will be playing this around launch on gamepass

South of Midnight Review | NoobFeed

NoobFeed editor Arysha writes - In the end, South of Midnight is a decent game with a rich Southern environment, distinct folklore, and a compelling Hazel tale. Playing with the platforming elements is fun, exploring the world is exciting, and discovering legendary creatures of the world.

I would be very curious to know then numbers on this game, probably very few people played it.

anast5d ago

Steam: 1,438 all time peak. Good story and the art is okay, but the rest of the game is generic.

I just finished South of Midnight. I think it’s a solid AA, even though the combat could have been a bit deeper. I love a cross-over between South of Midnight and Psychonauts.

PrinceBaldwin6d ago

That'd be a really interesting crossover, mechanically. Like Hazel's "weaver self" can jump into the minds of Prospero locals struggling with trauma.

Cacabunga6d ago

Doesn’t have to be pretext. I like the fact this game has its own identity. I cannot wait to try it

Alos886d ago

Putting aside the game for a moment, anyone else find it wild we're considering an 8/10 to be a 'flawed' game? lol

LiViNgLeGaCY6d ago

Well, considering 10 would be a "masterpiece", if you're taking two points off, there would have to be at least a COUPLE flaws, right?

SCW19826d ago

The writing is so good at certain parts and than it will just turn around and drop the ball so hard. None of her comments towards the notes she reads are interesting and half the time they don't actually fit with the context of what was written. I am on Chapter 11 and finding it very hard to push myself to finish it at this point. Also I understand what they are going for but the way they present the mistreatment of folks is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. Could have been done a bit better.
