What players think
The recurring themes across 201 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
After 41 hours, I've beaten my first playthrough of Path of the Midnight Sun, and I really enjoyed its story!
The game has a good equilibrium between story and combat, and gave me a continuous feeling of progression.
For an indie game, the voice acting is REALLY well-done, especially for Faratras, who I would say is the most important POV character.
All the hand-drawn visuals looked incredible and animated well in Live2D except for the final boss.
There is also no keyboard or controller support, so you will have to play with mouse for now, though this is planned for the future.
I played the entire game on the steam deck so I'll immediately say that it runs well, especially on handheld.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 5 sampled reviews and are not shown.
