    Awful clunky controls, paper thin characters, unoriginal story, bad voice acting, lifeless environments, cutscenes with awful camera angles (because some scenes might be missing depending on choices) making them seem disconnected, QT events are too fast and therefore too easy to make a mistake, in general a bad game. I've finished it once and uninstalled it immediately.

    If you are expecting a game at the same quality level as Until Dawn, well.. you are gravely mistaken.    … Expand

    I can't even start the damn game... Game will freeze upon starting a new game and I have to kill the task via taskmanager. Maybe I will give it a few patches time and will try again

    Insincere characters that you don't believe! In one of the endings, one of the characters did not even react in any way to the bloody death of her boyfriend. Many bugs and bad face animations.

    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.
