Critic Reviews for The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan
It's not easy to keep everyone alive in Man of Medan, and you won't necessarily want to, especially in 2-player co-op.
Supermassive's Dark Pictures anthology gets off to a promising start, but this first nautical instalment winds up a little too promptly.
Man of Medan tells a familiar story in a fascinating way, and even moreso with a partner.
The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is not quite as polished as Until Dawn, but it's still an effective horror gaming experience with a great story.
At its best Man of Medan delivers a confident and well crafted horror experience with a genuinely clever two player mode. But it's unbalanced pacing has a little too much opening filler and an unsatisfying conclusion.
The uninteresting story has plenty of dull moments, but isn't enough to kill the thrill of trying to keep all of the characters alive, especially when played with friends
Man of Medan is a thinner, flawed follow-up to Until Dawn that is saved by its online co-op mode.
Despite how negative I may have seemed there, I do genuinely want The Dark Pictures Anthology to continue and succeed (the game even seems to tease the next entry in it, seemingly already in the works), as I loved Until Dawn and would love to see more similar experiences from Supermassive. But despite having the same solid mechanics as its big brother, Man of Medan starts the anthology off on a thoroughly "meh" note, thanks its unimpressive, poorly-constructed story.
