Feb 5, 2023Clumsy game controls, an incredibly boring story, weak and cringy dialogue, no likeable characters whatsoever. I'm only scoring it as high as I am due to it being very well presented in both sound and visuals. They really dropped the ball on this one but I am still keen to see what else they deliver in the future.

Game World Navigator MagazineOct 11, 2019Despite 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]

Oct 8, 2019Man 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.

Sep 20, 2019While 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.
