Critic Reviews for The Medium
A third-person horror game that's elevated by some of the sharpest writing and acting in the genre.
Brilliantly paced and palpably tense, The Medium is a psychological horror adventure that's all thriller and no filler.
Bloober Team goes back to the classics for possibly its best effort yet.
The Medium is a gorgeous next-gen horror game with a haunting game world anchored by old-school survival-horror style puzzles and exploration.
The Medium itself never hits a flat note. I beat the game in two long sittings, and there was never a point during either that I felt like the game dragged, or could’ve used a little more polish, or left too many loose ends hanging. It’s a lean, compelling experience that says what it has to say, then leaves you to grapple with the specifics afterwards. There are images, lines, and ideas from The Medium that I’ll likely take to my grave thanks to this approach, as it puts the onus on the player to piece everything together. You have to wrap your brain around the spirit world’s twisted logic so much that it becomes a part of you, as you live through Marianne’s pain with her and help to navigate her trauma.
The Medium tries to do a lot but never really seems to stop and see if any of it's working.
The Medium is a terrifying but compelling exploration of duality that uses the horror of personal trauma to craft a memorable tale.
