As I expected for South of Midnight, high praise for the story, visuals, music, etc. Essentially all the "artistic" stuff but the combat/platforming is a big mark against it and dragging some reviews down hard. Sitting at 81 OpenCritic right now after only 33 reviews but I suspect it will drop somewhere in the 70s but that would still be a big improvement over Contrast and We Happy Few for the studio.

It's only ~10 hours long though so I'll likely force my way through the combat/platforming if it's that bad just for the story, visuals, music, Lol. 70s isn't a bad score at all either, a pretty solid score, so it can't be that bad. I'm likely going to buy the upgrade as it's only £10 via Game Pass and is pretty damn good value for what it comes with so I feel like they deserve it.

GTA on gamepass? Game is cheaper than gamepass ultimate =p

79 average after 62 reviews, it is holding strong, I expected a decent bit lower Tbh and consider anything above 75 to be a major win for the team from a critic standpoint, it's a big step up from their previous titles, now I just need them to sort their dang gameplay out because this has been a consistent callout between all 3 of their titles, Lol. Hopefully they're done growing from a studio standpoint and can just pump out cool artistic titles like this from now on but with an improvement on gameplay.

It's not the only game on Gamepass

Game Pass - It's the Journey

Now Avowed and SoM are out of the way, both scoring strong, onto Oblivion Remaster and Doom. 🙌

That trailer for South of Midnight is great! Game Pass trailer does a good job highlighting what it has and some exciting stuff coming.
