The stellar atmosphere, with its music and art direction, added to the story of very likeable characters that Compulsion has always achieved well in their games. Each of their works feels special to me.
We need more games that have a sense of engaging world building. This is not a typical setting and I am highly interested in play. GOG is the only service I truly am interested playing on due to the DRM/Launcher-free option.
In the same way that director Ryan Coogler secured private ownership of Sinners (2025), such earnest Black American media as South of Midnight, offers Black gamers sorely needed affirmation and joy. Movies, music, and now games industries, each have their own sordid histories with dictating what media Black people should be 'allowed' to consume. South of Midnight is definitely one of those rare gems that Black gamers deserve to hold in their own hands, with no little white strings attached.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears. The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts. Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.
