TBH I feel like this game was made for me, personally lol. I'm from Louisiana, so i grew up hearing these stories. I lost my mom when I was 19, so that also resonates with me. Hazel talks like me, and her mama reminds me heavily of my own mama. Crouton looks like one of my voodoo dolls XD. Aside from that, the art style, character relationships, lore, and story telling of this game is absolutely outstanding. I could not have enjoyed this game more. And the soundtrack, guys, THE SOUNDTRACK , I'm speechless. If it were up to me this would be game of the year 2025 hands down. I could honestly go on and on about the things I love about this game. Everyone should play through at least once. ( I'll be playing through until I 100% XD. ) Thanks for an experience I truly needed. - A Louisiana Gamer Girl From the Swamp. <3

I miss the 2005-2015 games where they use to be linear with a little story trying to be unique in its own way, some magic tricks and a distinct vibe. This game takes me back to those times.

The gameplay is fun without being too difficult or easy. The artstyle & soundtrack are both banging. The story is really interesting and all of the characters feel like real people that you could meet in your day to day.

Despite whatever flaws this has the story, art, music and acting more than make up for it. For a retelling of Alice in Wonderland it's remarkable. But honestly the moment the Cheshire Cat, I mean Catfish, says "Look at 'dem nice duds. Did you get a promotion at the Piggly Wiggly?" this became one of my favorite games ever.

When talking about South of Midnight I think it's important to keep some perspectives in check, this isn't some crazy new AAA Microsoft funded behemoth, this is a much more quaint project, a linear level-based game mostly consisting of platforming, some combat arenas in-between said platforming, and a sort of episodic narrative of short stories of the people and monsters you meet on your travels. For those who've played "Kena: Bridge of Spirits" this kind of structure will feel pretty familiar; same with those of a love of Xbox360 "adventure" games. Your "Enslaved" and "Remember Me"s. Nothing life changing from a gameplay perspective but a nice journey through some sites and sounds that doesn't overstay its welcome. And while I do adore the style visually and do like the narrative (even if I think in terms gameplay the ending is a bit of a let down) I gotta say that the music and sound team do a lot of heavy lifting here and, while I do not want to insult the talents or efforts of anyone involved who all clearly worked hard and did a great job doing so, it is hard to not argue that many of the most memorable moments of this game is hard carried by its dynamic soundtrack and song choices that constantly elevate every scene in both mood and narrative. Without that soundtrack this game is okay, with it it is something far above that (Although at the time of this review the song lyrics don't have a subtitle option and.... please let the song lyrics have subtitles in the future, thanks). I know in a world of hundred hour never-ending games there's this perception that 35 quid for an 11-12 hour game is somehow steep but honestly I think you're getting a good deal here, for what it was it was fun and it was really interesting to see characters and folklore that I don't ever really see in games, it stands out as something worth experiencing because of that unique setting and, with the fact that the structure of the game is somewhat episodic I would actually love to visit this world again some time because, as much as I'm glad this game didn't overstretch itself, it's hard not to feel like we're just scratching the surface of some wonderful adventures. That said, to the devs, if you do ever return to this world make sure to bring Olivier Deriviere with you because I've believed for a while that he is one of if not the industry's greatest game composer's and... yeah he is not shaking off that reputation anytime soon :)
