Assassin’s Creed Shadows is an excellent new chapter in Ubisoft’s popular saga, with countless reasons to dive in and fall in love. However, the way Ubisoft delivers its games, and the lack of care in post-launch support, can quickly become a barrier that brings the adventure to an early end.

South of Midnight is clearly a product of care and dedication, an adventure that bets on its strong visual identity and emotional connection with the player through resonant stories of a protagonist as strong as she is fragile. Its artistic style, inspired by Southern American folklore and stop-motion animation—rare in video games—sets it apart, while its soundtrack, rich in orchestral themes and immersive vocal compositions, adds even more emotional weight to the journey. The simplicity of the gameplay, with functional yet somewhat limited combat, may leave something to be desired, but it never compromises the essence of the experience. In the end, it is a game that does not seek to appeal to the masses but offers a memorable journey filled with striking moments and a unique atmosphere, in a style that deserves further exploration in the industry.

Unfortunately, the gameplay does not keep up with the narrative, falling into clichés that undermine the themes when it should be elevating them.

Aspyr continues its journey through the old LucasArts catalog, this time with the conversion of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, celebrating its 25th anniversary.
