    South of the Circle is a great storytelling adventure where you're required to deal with a very tough situation, with both political and personal consequences. From exploring the fear of being alone in an unknown place surrounded by enemies, to reevaluating your past decisions in your personal life, South of the Circle feels like a well written film.

    With an outstanding artistic section, the narrative-adventure South of the Circle gets your attention and, from the beginning of the game, makes you think about the consequences of your decisions. The rich story and the touching soundtrack that accompanies it, make it one of the best game-thrillers ever released.

    To be fair, the game is visually appealing, with a minimalistic art style that manages to convey the feeling of the time. It's an interesting experience and a unique premise (how many other Cold War disaster games are you going to play this year?), but ultimately that can't save the title from falling a bit flat.

    South of the Circle might be a bit shorter than you'd expect, but its extremely story driven and engaging, and if you are into that type of game you'll definitely have a good time playing it.

    South of the Circle is a minimalistic game that tells an initially engaging, but ultimately underwhelming story. And beyond the narrative, there's not much here to recommend.
