    Разнообразие в выборах есть, графика есть, средняя история есть, хотя бы несколько концовок есть. Вполне годный проект, если не пугает однообразие локации (впрочем, логично, ведь это корабль), который я не считаю минусом.

    Ждал игру т.к. PS4 у меня нету, а годных интерактивных фильмов на Пк почти нету(Игры Telltale Games не беру в счёт). Проходил прошлую игру Supermassive Games я благополучно на ютубе, как и 80% Пк геймеров, и ожидал такого же атмосферного ужастика как и Until Down, но получилось, что-то непонятное при этом не особо страшное! Запомнился только один скример с угрём в самолёте под водой.Ждал игру т.к. PS4 у меня нету, а годных интерактивных фильмов на Пк почти нету(Игры Telltale Games не беру в счёт).

    I don't actually play horror games but I am a HUGH fan of them. I make my husband play them while I watch. Some of my favorites include silent hill, outcast 2, penumbra, fatal frame, and of course until dawn. I recently bought man of medan and so far we have played through twice. I enjoyed it both times and hope to see it a few more times. They story was very different both times.I don't actually play horror games but I am a HUGH fan of them.

    I have read the voice acting was horrible but we did not find it to be so. I will say however the controls are clunky and the movement does look funky like they dont have a care in the world.

    Overall well worth the 30$ price tag and with more of them to come over the next 5 years we will be getting them all.    … Expand

    The first impression lasts a lifetime. I´m glad, that i tried it anyway (after a couple of months).
    The technical hick ups are out of my way and now I can finally enjoy the game and I enjoyed it a lot.
    I love the atmosphere, the ghostship setting, the audio is great and the graphics are too.
    Looking foreward to the next ghost story.

    This is a wonderful follow up to "Until Dawn" that goes a different route instead of replicating the sickening creepiness of "Until Dawn." Instead of sickening horror, the horror is not just the monster appearance but also how the monsters came to be, "Man of Medan" takes its cues from "Tales of the Crypt" and "The Shining." This is more of a fun creep fest than intense disturbance.

    In    This is a wonderful follow up to "Until Dawn" that goes a different route instead of replicating the sickening creepiness of "Until Dawn." Instead of sickening horror, the horror is not just the monster appearance but also how the monsters came to be, "Man of Medan" takes its cues from "Tales of the Crypt" and "The Shining." This is more of a fun creep fest than intense disturbance.

    In fact, during gameplay, thinking of "Outlast 2" which tried to replicate the intense horror of "Outlast 1" but misstep with having an open air environment, which took away the claustrophobic horror from the first one. The smart move here has been to recognize that once the novelty wears off, you can't replicate what made an initial entry spark - you need to build on the previous one. "Man of Medan" takes the core gameplay of the first and adds to it, by introducing us to the grander, episodic world. How intense can you replicate a known horror? Part of horror is the unknown ,that the mystery itself is horrifying, and so, if drama is ruled out, well the flipside of drama is comedy.

    Where we may have initially wanted to murder each of the main characters in "Until Dawn" straight away, "Man of Medan" presents characters you root for - maybe with the exception of Conrad, he's jackass, but can grow on you. Instead of an facile open air environment, being trapped on a mountain and the monsters induce claustrophobia, the story situates itself in a physically claustrophobic environment. And since we have a playful narrator and the intro has set the tone of "Tales of the Crypt," you feel as if you're peering in on a haunted house - seeing the set up for a good scare and waiting, just waiting, for the scare to drop, to see the characters jump back as their minds play tricks on them.

    So, if you're looking for intense, disturbing horror - this will not be your cup of tea. If you're looking for a good time, a spookfest, and feeling like you get to be in on the joke as you watch a character walk into a "Uh - oh, oh no" moment, then this is your cup of tea. Lots of fun, good spooks, but most importantly, a good time!    … Expand

    Es un gran juego muy inmersivo, con muchos sustos y momentos muy tensos. La duración es bastante escasa 3h aprox, pero el precio es tambien ajustado a la duración. recomendable al 100%.
    Pros: Graficos, ambientación, jugabilidad, sustos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man of Medan is the beginning of a new horror series created by Supermassive Games, the creators of Until Dawn, the premise is interesting, a haunted ship... you don't see that setting in video games that often, but... those that makes it a really good and scary game?
    Unfortunately, Man of Medan does not improve at all from it's previous title, it uses the same mechanics of exploration, dialog and action selection that will eventually cause a consequence later in the story, but aside of that... it bring nothing new to the table.
    Visually is not an improvement from Until Dawn, the game was built in the Unreal 4 Engine, it has some nice lighting and at times models and scenarios look believable real, but it doesn't look any better than, again, Until Dawn.
    I do like the way it handle horror, it introduce itself as a paranormal haunting horror story but at the end is switch to a more psychological horror territory.
    So... it's not a bad game, it is pretty good, but the game is nothing more than a copy/paste of it's predecessor.    … Expand

    Graphically, there are sometimes problems with the lighting, figures do not hold things properly in the hand or the object floats in front of the character.
    But despite the mistakes, Man of Medan keeps you in good spirits and is highly recommended for people who like games like Heavy Rain or Until Dawn.

    8/10 points

    Deutsch:
    Man of Medan ist ein eigentlich recht guter Spiel(Film).
    Die Story ist Spannend Inszeniert und halt die Spannung bis zum Ende Aufrecht.
    Technisch sowie Grafisch gibt es aber immer wieder kleinere Probleme. So will die Steuerung manchmal partu nicht reagieren, Der/die Held(en) einfach mal nicht durch eine offene Tür gehen und die QTEs sind oft so rasend schnell das man kaum Zeit zum reagieren hat.
    Grafisch gibt es mal hier und da Probleme mit der Beleuchtung, Figuren halten gegenstände nicht richtig in der Hand oder der Gegenstand schwebt vor dem Charakter.
    Doch trotz der Fehler hält Man of Medan einen gut bei Laune und ist absolut empfehlenswert für Leute die Spiele wie Heavy Rain oder Until Dawn mögen.

Крепкий сюжет, выразительные персонажи, куча крипоты, скримеров,Неожиданно качественная игра. Этакий Until Dawn на минималках. Начало нудное и не интересное, но как только действие переносится в наши дни, следить за развитием событий становится интересно. В игре по ходу прохождения встречается очень много нюансов, каждый из которых в итоге влияет на концовку, а самих концовок - десятки. Крепкий сюжет, выразительные персонажи, куча крипоты, скримеров, атмосферность, качественная графика. В итоге имеем хоть и не шедевр, но однозначно стоящую прохождения игру.… Expand

    An interesting game, to pass once with a friend-the most that. I like that there are many different endings, but sometimes the inexplicability of actions is unnerving. This is rare. Overall, I really liked it!

    Despite completely original story, Man of Medan feels more like an Until Dawn expansion pack than game of its own. It also is noticeably shorter and less varied, although still fun to play. [Issue#240, p.32]

    Man of Medan is the first entry in what should be a series of horror games based on urban legends in the Dark Pictures Anthology. It combines all the classic elements from choice and consequence adventures and puts them into an uneasy environment, where nobody of the main characters is safe. It has flaws in the terms of camera and exploration features, but it can be a very solid beginning to something new in the horror gaming genre.

    While predictably light on actual gameplay, Supermassive’s kick-off to their Dark Pictures Anthology is a welcome return to form that ticks all the right boxes for a scarily good time. Whether alone or with friends, raise the sails and weigh anchor aboard Man of Medan’s ghost ship if you dare.
