Sometimes you just don’t like a game.
Maybe it’s because the story doesn’t interest you, or because the game is just bad.
Maybe you’re bad.I would know!
That’s why I don’t likeElden Ring!
Playing South of Midnight, I had an okay time.
Of course, you could point to outliers.
I think this is part of the reason it feels as though games have stagnated.
Leaps used to be major events, they were bold and brash and memorable.
It’s that you’ve played it all before, and many years ago.
Firstly, it feels bad because youre always aware of South of Midnight’s potential.
Instead, it’s good-to-okay.
That’s more disappointing than a game that looks okay and plays okay leaving you thinking it’s okay.
But it also highlights a rift between desire and practicality.
South of Midnight does not feel like that.
But maybe that’s not a bad thing.
Concept art leaked in 2021, and it’s now 2025.
That might be gaming’s next giant leap.
