South of Midnight

[Sennex 1,957]

I picked this up last weekend, and WOW is it good. The storytelling is actually really solid, and seriously creative. I need to do a deep dive on Creole mythology and cryptids. I don't want to give anything away, so this review will be short.

 

The color and animation in the game turned me off at first, but it soon grew on me, the controls are really tight, but tend to loosen the faster you move. Which is a good thing as there are a lot of wall running sections, and running away from larger enemies and spirits.

 

The enemies are creative but repetitive. Its okay for the most part because it makes sense that they would be. 

 

The main story, and the side stories were great, and really sad in most parts, which is also the point.

 

All that said, the game was short, it took me about 10 hours to beat. That being said I think the $30 - $40 price tag works well for it. If they tried to sell it for $60+ it wouldn't be worth it at all.
