"South of Midnight is a solid action-adventure title elevated by its style, storytelling and cast of memorable characters."

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.

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.”"
