    Artstyle and animations, story, music and voice acting were totally amazing. Transitions from a scene to another are so cinematic and well done, I wish more games did them this way. The lack of any actual gameplay would keep many away from this gem and that's a shame 'cause they would skip an original, emotional and deeply involving story that handles really well themes like deeply rootedArtstyle and animations, story, music and voice acting were totally amazing.

The lack of any actual gameplay would keep many away from this gem and that's a shame 'cause they would skip an original, emotional and deeply involving story that handles really well themes like deeply rooted discrimination based on gender and age in academia and the love vs career dilemma. Masterful storytelling and really, the voice acting was top notch.… Expand

    Interesting story, excellent voice acting and nice artwork. Most of the gameplay is just choosing what to say without affecting the story.

    To be sure, there are worse ways to waste three hours than in the presence of very good voice actors doing their thing over gorgeous visuals. And, like I said, the game always tries to make you feel like you’re in the presence of something great. But the reality is, no matter how much South of the Circle aspires to greatness, with a story like this, it’s never more than merely okay.

    South Of The Circle is a beautiful game that tells a wonderful little story, and is backed up with a genuine effort by the developers to explore cinematic techniques for dramatic effect. When the alternative in video games is typically the equivalent of bland, rote Hollywood productions, South Of The Circle stands out as something different. Different is and always will be interesting. I’m just glad the developers backed the interesting techniques they used with a fascinating story.

    South of the Circle definitely looks and feels like it was made by a BAFTA-winning team, which means that players should know they’re walking into an artistic endeavor instead of an action-packed adventure. Sure, there’s action, and there’s adventure, but it’s more of a passive movie than an active experience. As long as you set your expectations accordingly, South of the Circle will thrill (and chill!) anyone looking for a unique setting and exciting story.
