I hope this game does well. It's nice to see more traditional action ala DMC and Bayo as opposed to souls like stuff.

Playing this on Game Pass PC and really enjoying it so far. To me, it's the perfect game pass title - wasn't sure if I would like it

It's an indie title which from announcement has been Microsoft funded and launching on game pass. Please don't try to read these tea leaves.

Most playing on GP? Seems like one of those games that may do well when offered on such services.

This feels like a gamepass game. Steam numbers could grow if there's positive word of mouth.

One of those short games that this place always clamors for let's hope GP is lifting all the weight.

I've heard it's pretty fun at work, got it preloaded and will start it Friday night.
If you're at all interested in this please support this game with your dollars or time on game pass. This just like Astrobot is the stuff from major studios and publishers that we gotta support unless we only want Halo and Concord the rest of our lives.

It's a full first party game, not just an indie they're funding.

I'm gonna be completely honest when I say that this seems better than expected?? It's a Game Pass game that's smaller budget and also had a major harassment campaign against it, on top of also launching on a Tuesday because of early access... Not even mentioning that it's short so inherently CCUs are going to be a less useful measure of success...

A bit of a throw back genre - with a unique art style - and a black woman as the protagonist.
Game is really good. But it draws a lot of hate.

it's dope. a 360-style, linear action-adventure (complimentary) with the best setting, aesthetic, and vibes.

It's a new IP from a developer with two previous releases in 12 years, both of which received mixed reviews. And yes, it's a game pass title.
Honestly though, I didn't even know this game was coming until a day or two ago. I wishlisted it & look forward to playing it, but it's definitely a sale game for me.

AA story game (10-12 hours I believe?) that is available on Game Pass, can't say it's massively surprising that it wouldn't do big Steam CCU numbers.
Nice to see lots of positive reviews for it, I would have played it myself if my Game Pass didn't just lapse.

We should have a GamePass CCU tool one of those day... Because I think most game that have been advertised as gamepass games could still be more popular on that platform than steam.

Absolutely. It falls dead into that. "I'm interested but definitely not at full price" category for me.

I'm about half way through and it does feel very basic for a game that has been in development for 5 years. Im really not sure who would buy it/who its target audience is.
However, the more I play the more I tend to ignore its flaws and just appreciate it for what it is.

isn't it already a cheaper game?
Shame to see it not do better- had an inkling that it was not gonna perform particularly well which sucks as it looks interesting.

Being honest, I wouldn't know this game existed outside of the couple showings and this forum, it's as if it doesn't exist otherwise. Kind of feels like no marketing muscle was thrown behind it, but maybe I'm not looking at the right places.

New IP, it' on Game Pass and MS didn't market it IMO. To be expected.

Closest we have is the most played on Xbox list but that only accounts for the last 7 days. So South of Midnight's first full week of tracking will appear on April 15.

I mean it's a Game Pass game. This feels like a not very meaningful data point without other data points.

Fantastic game. Turn combat encounters off when they've worn out their welcome, and just enjoy the aesthetic, the boss fights, the soundtrack, the characters and the story.

The general consensus from reviewers is the gameplay is pretty lackluster. I'm only a few chapters in. I'm loving the story and visual design, but it's not a game I'm excited to actually play. There's no sidequests, all the combat is regulated to small arenas with a handful of enemies. It feels like you're going through the motions.
I give the story thus far a 9 out of 10, and the combat about a 4.

I just beat it yesterday. Solid 7.5/10
Story is great and the action (after you get the 2nd tier of unlocks) is actually kinda good. Played on hard and it was kicking my ass.

PC users of GamePass on PC are accounting for an extremely small pourcentage of PC players. GP impact on Steam CCU isn't going to be extremely meaningful.

Anyone who says they want their games to feel more like they did in the xbox/PS2 era should play this game.
Also HEAVY THEMES. Was kind of surprised by a lot of it. Unweaving the stories and going, "HE DID WHAT NOW?!?" after almost every chapter.

Early Access of AA games is starting to kill my hype for these kinds of games now. I really wanted to play this last week and checked it out after I saw it had been released, only to realize it was early access and I had to wait almost a week. This week I was really not feeling it and had more interest to play my backlog instead. With early access the developer conditioned me to wait, so now I will probably just wait for a sale. Happened last month with Two Point Museum too.

CCUs aren't the whole story and all that but I'm hoping word of mouth helps it in the long-run.

Game is wonderful. It's exactly what it's trying to be and it's fucking nailing it. It's hard to convey really how incredible the package of theme, visual, and sound this game has. Also the characters are genuinely fantastic. I love all of them so far.
It's also dawned on me, there's phrases and feelings of emotions I've heard/gotten out of the first few chapters in this game that I don't think any other game has ever made me feel. That's more of a minority experience really.
Also performance on PC is stellar for me. Not missing a beat at 4k on a 3070ti.

It's a really good game and it runs very well on PC.
I hope the Game Pass numbers for it meet expectations.

For a smaller game that's also launching on Game Pass and has had good but not glowing reviews, this isn't that surprising.
I want to play it at some point, but I have too many games on my plate right now.
