TNS: South of Midnight might be short, but it is one of the most memorable gaming experiences with superb storytelling and a unique art style.
"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.”"
We know it's not a 9.
When they put this on PS I hope they release a physical version. This is the game interests me the most from Xbox. It’s unique
