South of Midnight (PC, Xbox Series X|S) (2025)

[Dre Space Age]

Homegirl just asked me about this game. Here's how it went...and I'm only posting this cause I bet the developers check up on this thread and want to see how it is being received:

Her: Have you seen the black game ppl are whining about? South of Midnight?

Me: Nope. This the first thing I saw on YouTube though. 30 second review.


Her: The monsters look amazing to me. Like real thought put into making them. Not just oh here's zombie-esce monster now give me money.

Me: oh this weirdo probably lit the fire


*she sees the tweet*

Her: Smh. This is what I mean by whining. Lame.

Me: Bayonetta doesnt have big t*ts. Ellie from last enough dont got t*ts

Her: She’s 16 in the game!

Me: Dude is really just being racist and hiding it under sexism. Racists will find another reason to complain rather than just admit to being racist.

Her: I don’t care if her t*ts are huge. Who the fukk is staring at their characters and be like I want bigger titties to stare at and it’s not a porn game? Like it looks really good. I’m debating on getting it. I see people complaining about combat being too easy. I hate combat cause I suck.

Me: Well they are basement nikkas. Sounds like this game's perfect for you.

Beat this yesterday, excellent game, if the combat were better this would be a masterpiece, but hey, cant win em all

Facts, i saw sinners in the middle of me playing this and was shocked at the parallels. What a coincidence that they came out so close to each other

And just like sinners this game also has a problem with its ending

Still, not the worst ending in the world especially if you know what kooshma represents

I am on chapter 5 or 6 and I am enjoying it so far. My only gripe is I wish the combat was better. I wonder if it would've been better to focus more on platforming rather than combat. The soundtrack for this game is very good and the story is interesting so far

Just now getting a chance to really sit down and take this in.

Man they nailed it as far as the writing/setting/characters etc. Even after following the game for a while i didn’t know that it would be this good.

Really hope this game gets amplified. People need to see/experience this.

IDK about Bayonetta, not the greatest example since sex sells and Bayonetta has a lot of innuendos

Beat this yesterday, excellent game, if the combat were better this would be a masterpiece, but hey, cant win em all

The combat is great imo, what is wrong with it in your opinion?
I only played the game on the hardest difficulty and it presents a fair challenge.

The combat itself is very fluid, to the point you can combo everything like you can in say, Batman.
Especially after you open up more moves. I'm doing all this and only opened half the moves so far.

The combat is fluid but it misses queues, like you can't identify when enemies are attacking and they can interrupt you because they don't stagger. The dodging is inconsistent as well. The combat gets easier with more abilities but at it's core, but that doesn't make it fun.

Easily the weakest element of this game.
