South of Midnight (PC, Xbox Series X|S) (April 8, 2025)

[Why-Fi]

im on chapter 6, enjoying it so far. i saw sinners this week too, and i gotta say i like seeing all these old ass superstitions come to life. my only complaint about the game is these meme-able subtitles. wth is a shuffling effort

 

[Why-Fi]

if they didn't checkpoint these chase sequences i would definitely stop playing this. its bad enough you cant really see whats chasing you

 

[PS5 Pro]

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.

Well you have confirmed that you haven't figured out the combat, its not the games fault buddy
You can tell when enemies are attacking by the yellow reticule arrow thingy, similar to when an enemy sees you in Call of Duty
As for the broken dodge Bruh, it works like Batman where you can literally spam the dodge button and not get hit unless you run into something like a corner or something. You can also parry and you can perfect parry which does create a stagger for the enemies. That's literally how its done in this game mechanically which they teach in the opening tutorial.

So I hear you, but what you're saying is flat out false EVEN IF ITS YOUR REAL FIRST EXPERIENCE with the game

Not sure what you talking about, I haven't stressed over any portion. Nothing has been too difficult and I'm playing on the hardest.
But that's me, what is happening that makes the chase sequences so tough for you?

While what you are saying is correct, it's not intuitive or fluent in the game. You are one of the few who have no issues with the combat of the game.

I think most ppl like it and the game has been highly praised.
But I understand that any negative comment would stick out MORE but you gotta rememeber you had to pass on a bunch of praise worthy comments to get to the negatives (which are far and few)

And again, in your case you clearly haven't mastered the gameplay and you're blaming the game because you skipped the tutorial
That's not fair, its lazy, and quite possibly intentional.

Spoiler

We got are on you, jack

I beat the game, nikka please

From the little skimming, seems like gameplay is the negative for ppl. Will still get it when it comes to ps5

They said it’s easy, there’s no enemy variation, and it’s not fun.

Breh, this ain’t witcher 3

i watched the KF review and dudes said they literally went into the options menu and turned off the combat.

On chapter 5 now, combat still by far the weakest part of the game but they’ve nailed everything else to the point where it may not matter.

If the game were longer it probably couldn’t get away with this but I’d recommend giving it a shot. Especially since it’s only 40 bucks I believe if you’re not playing on GP

I started playing last night. Today I’m on Chapter 9. This game is dope.
The combat can use some work, but story, characters, atmosphere, and art style are all top notch. I would love for them to keep this series going.

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

Game is great

The combat is mediocre, and that's okay. Chill

I'm not responding to future quotes

This is a forum for discussion, so I could give 2 fukks if you run off. That just shows where your intellect ends
Again, you can always find negative comments. You even posted Gizmo Duck saying he watched a video of it

But back to you, you saying you beat the game. But you don't know how to parry? Or dodge properly?
I guess you getting paid to lie, but I'm not NOT going to call you out on it. Everything you said in that previous post was a straight up lie.
How the fukk can you ignore the tutorial, not know how to play the game. Then blame the game for not playing right?

Lay off the crack homey, I don't care what the next person gotta say. I'm talking to YOU. You can't speak on it if you didn't take the time to learn how to play it properly. Which you proved by your comments. And just in case you want to play dumb, lets quote you one last time so you can be EXPOSED!!!

and they can interrupt you because they don't stagger.

But they do

The dodging is inconsistent as well.

But it's not

Easily the weakest element of this game.

I think the problem is the lead character is too "something" so lets create a narrative and run with that
And no, what I'm saying here ins't possible...

But it is

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

It was cool, but I was a bit tired by the end.
The third act was definitely mid, but this is overall enjoyable and a real work of art.
Did it flop?

I find your line of questioning weird. The game is great, You looking for somebody to tell you its not?
You was tired by the end, the 3rd act was mid? Game has 14 "chapters" and Chapter 3 is Big Fish which isn't mid at all
So troll away but if numbers matter to you that much? It surpassed 1million copies SOLD in less than a month.
It came out 6 weeks ago

When doing the research I found similar post to yours.... in hate post
CAC's are FURIOUS!!! Over this game, calling it DEI, Sweet Baby Inc with their magical black girl bullshyt.
I was taken aback by the amount of hate I seen because I don't be following those types of people nah mean.
But it makes sense why there's so many people lying on this game ON THIS SITE. Cuz c00ns act like their oppressors

You must be retarded
I said third act,not chapter 3….as in the last third of the game!
I asked if it flopped because the end left room for a sequel we might not get.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Finally beat the game
Shame there'll likely never be a sequel, because you could easily adapt this to a tv series; movie, or comic books.

Why wouldn't there be a sequel?

Layoffs at MS, plus it flopped

 

[Methodical]

Great game. I beat it last 3 weeks ago.

 

[PS5 Pro]

Layoffs at MS,

As for who will get laid off, that is only speculation and Sony Stans have chosen which studios they hate to see win the most.
Then after that was established, somebody made a tweet saying it and now you all think Xbox is about to go 3rd party
TBC but uh... nuh

plus it flopped

I could name countless sony exclusives that didn't reach that many sold and you guys still praised it, while this game was a budget title. Only cost 40/50 dollars at launch so I'd say its very successful. Mostly because its great
