South of Midnight

The most beautiful game with fantastic music but with the worst "Focus M." writing and mediocre combat. This is the most half-hearted "thumbs up" you'll see here as it isn't the worst thing ever and the game does have its moments. But keep expectations low.

My personal GOTY when it comes to story and music. I'd 100% recommend playing this game if you do not care about combat, because the general combat in this game is incredibly dull. Once I got the achievements related to combat, I skipped the rest. Despite this, the boss fights are fun and each has a killer theme. The platforming and exploration is also enjoyable. I LOVE THE ROUGAROU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Играется на потоке, без душни. Сейчас подобное принято оформлять в метроидванию, но тут чисто линейно пробегается, от преодолеваемых расстояний ловишь чувство полета. Чистокровный 3д-платформер, чем-то напоминает Шрек 2 и Мадагаскар. Это предупреждение: иногда может не регать попадание на платформу и тд, но не прям чтобы душило. Боевка тут для разбавления гемплея, меня не бесила, в настройках бои вообще можно вообще вырубить лол. Визуальный стиль и музыка (особенно та что с вокалом) - топ, сочно-уютно. Это правда хорошо реализовано. Рекомендую играть без интерфейса вне боя.

One of the most beautiful games I've played in a long time. Heartbreaking, raw but real. Illustrated beautifully!

A beautiful game. The basic gameplay mechanics and loop are simple but satisfying enough, but what elevates the game is its story, presentation, visuals, and music. The gaming world is richer to have works of art like these.

A quintessential 7/10 game. The music/art design/character designs are my favorite parts. I turned the combat difficulty up to make it more engaging, but it was still quite boring by the end. The story itself is only interesting insofar as it delves into southern black folklore, which i wish it went harder in that direction.
