I spoke with Olivier Derivière and Christopher Fox about the music and audio design in South of Midnight for GameSpot

Happy I got to write this one!

We’ve lost a lot of my favorite people to work with who were the best at what they did at IGN today.

If you have opportunities, please consider my colleagues who were let go today.

A cropped screenshot from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, showcasing the stats for a battle. 

It took 10 minutes and 27 seconds, featured 49 successful parries (no successful dodges, we're not cowards here), 2,115,557 damage dealt, 19,525 damage received, and 157,710 damage was the highest delivered in a single attack.

god, is there a higher high than when an RPG gives you a 9,999 damage limit and then lets you exceed that limit

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves review: one last show in South Town Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a strong fighting game, but one that feels a bit creatively compromised by the business dealings powering it.

I reviewed Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for Digital Trends. It’s a great fighting game dragged down by the state of the world. This is the hardest review I've ever had to write. I hope you'll read it.

I can't thank @marioprime.bsky.social enough for giving this a home.

Counter-argument:

You should use Sinners to springboard yourself into some other Black American horror like the following

Walkthrough - South of Midnight Guide - IGN South of Midnight follows the story of a Weaver named Hazel as she embarks on a rescue mission while navigating her newfound powers. Hazel’s journey

Just recently finished writing up the entire South of Midnight walkthrough for IGN, and I think the game is beautiful

Love and appreciate Hazel so much. Compulsion did their thing with this one (finding 103 collectibles took some time tho)
