Our Take

Seems intriguing, but the lack of reviews makes it a bit risky. At $39.99, maybe wait for more info unless you love adventure games.

Review

South of Midnight lets players step into a world inspired by Southern folklore. The game's focus on using an ancient power is intriguing, offering a potential twist on typical adventure mechanics. Still, without professional reviews, it’s hard to gauge its true quality. The user rating of 3.63 out of 5 hints at a mixed reception. At $39.99, it’s priced as a mid-tier title. For now, it may be worth waiting to see if it delivers on its promises.
