    A very disappointing title here. Performance issues abound and just a lack of any real coherent gameplay.

Performance issues abound and just a lack of any real coherent gameplay. Simply walk for long stretches of time, as the game refuses to let you run in many of the rooms, solving what can barely be considered puzzles. Then running away from things when it wants you to endure a chase scene, that almost feels like I'm playing Dragon's Lair again or those terrible chase levels in games like the Lion King or Crash Bandicoot!. Enagements only become mildly challenging when the interaction mechanics of the game cause you issues. There are, irritating camera angles, a very narrow playfield because your display is split between two different world views...which inherently works against the game all thre way through. It's a bizarrely dreadful design choice, to say the least

    I'm a big fan of horror, old slower paced adventures and I can see what they were trying to do or achieve, but it's a tedious farce that isn't enjoyable to play at all. Regardless all the performance issues, there is just very little positive to say about it...other than it'll cost next to nothing to play on gamepass. You can't find much better games than this mess.    … Expand

    Really wanted to love this game but it just sucks gameplay wise tbh.

    The good: - Interesting world. - Awesome artstyle/direction - Creepy Atmosphere - Split reality was a cool idea. - Fixed Camera angels - Story The meh: - Not really that scary - Plot holes in the story, and the ending was unsatisfying. - Constantly having to fight the controlls when the camera angels    Really wanted to love this game but it just sucks gameplay wise tbh.

    The good:
    - Interesting world.
    - Awesome artstyle/direction
    - Creepy Atmosphere
    - Split reality was a cool idea.
    - Fixed Camera angels
    - Story

    The meh:
    - Not really that scary
    - Plot holes in the story, and the ending was unsatisfying.
    - Constantly having to fight the controlls when the camera angels changes.

    The bad:
    - Game NEVER used the split reality mechanic to its fullest potential.
    - Unoptimized. HUGE framedrops for no reason.

    The awful:
    - Calling this a puzzle game is an insult to all puzzle games out there.
    - Game mechanics that are almost NEVER used (For example. Combining items, only used TWICE in the entire game)
    - Stealth, it just isn't good in the slightest.
    - Pretty much everything regarding gameplay is awful tbh.

    "The Medium is our biggest and most ambitious project to date!" - Bloober Team.

    i'm sorry but there's NOTHING ambitious with The Medium since you failed to even TRY to use the split reality mechanic to its fullest potential.

    3/10 Had potential but fell flat on its head.

The camera perspective changes every time you cross a tile boundary, so what used to be "forward" is now "left" etc. Very disorienting. Even basic exploration is a chore, and anything with even the slightest time element (e.g. an "out of body" experience) gets frustrating beyond belief. Apparently there are even more time-bound gameplay aspects like chases, and I literally can't imagine how those are even playable. It's a shame, because I feel that there might be a *great* game struggling to get out, but it's the most notable casualty in a grim game.

    P.S. I know this is not a AAA title, budgets are limited, etc. But the implementation is *bad*. I've seen student projects that had smoother and more natural movement. It feels like a slow emulation of something written for another platform, even when it's running natively on current-gen hardware. Just make it *playable* and you'll have plenty of grateful fans.    … Expand

Any suspense or horror comes purely from the AWFUL controls. The camera switching is the most scary thing in the game.
    It's sad since the game is quite interesting when you can find the next bit of story, you certainly want to see what happens next. This serves to make you torture yourself as you slog through the physical impasses that the game presents by way of wonky controls that are never consistent, and scripted events that either kill you or jar you from whatever you were actually trying to do.

    The game is gorgeous sometimes, and in the fleeting moments when you are not being confined to near identical looking labyrinths of meh, it can be stunning even. Some of the beginning sequences such as walking down a trail through a forest will make you stop and wish you could look around. Did I mention this plays from a fixed/on rails camera perspective like Resident Evil? Not my thing at all to be fair.
    I played on PC with the graphics maxed out. The game ran smoothly for me (as well it should with my computer!) except for a few of the split screen moments. Strangely, it was a game engine issue when it dropped from my monitors refresh rate of 150 to about 30. No matter what settings I changed in the game from minimum to maximum, it was always locked at a low FPS in these particular split scenes, and it was no faster at 720P minimum than 1080P Ultra. Too many draw calls perhaps? I didn't run it in DX12 with raytracing, so maybe it would have been different if I had.

    I stopped short of completing the game, at least for now. When you die due to a bug only to find that the nearest "checkpoint" is a long boring sequence back with lots of talking and artificially slow walking before even getting another chance at the quick time(ish) event the game requires to continue, the only emotion the game causes is RAGE by the third time.
    I'm upset since I wasted so much of my time and effort against the controls only to be insulted by the extremely poor checkpoint placement on top of it having been a bug that killed me in the first place. (very VERRY mild spoiler? maybe? The event in question involved grabbing and moving an object. To the devs, incase it was a bug that can be fixed; It was a cement mixer. You know the one. It could _NOT_ be moved.) If I could just watch this game play itself, I would. It DOES have an interesting story, nice visuals, and honestly great sound design.

    I would recommend skipping this game and going straight to your favorite online video site to watch a playthrough instead. I'm the type of gamer who is straight up allergic to spoilers, I NEVER look at videos before playing a game I am interested in. I don't like how hard companies have to try and pitch their games these days to the point of spoiling them themselves in fact. I've never recommended someone watch a play through of any game until this one, and generally frown upon those videos since they could be damaging to the game developers. In this case though I really think it's the better way to experience this one. :/ I might return to it and complete it some day, but definitely not today.
    As I mentioned above, I don't watch videos on things if I know I am interested in them heavily, such as a sequel to a game I loved. While this was not such a game, in this case I saw some media when it was first shown at e3 or whichever trade show it was first shown off at. I thought it looked really cool from the initial presentation, but I don't remember any indications that it was fixed camera, and worse, really poorly implemented fixed camera.
    Devs, make the horrible joystick direction lock handicap a toggle please? Actual gamers like myself who instinctively correct the joystick orientation do NOT like being constantly thrown into the wall by your built in baby system that lets you keep holding the joystick the same way after a camera change as you were before it. When you do need to make a slight adjustment after, the game then updates your direction to the one your joystick is actually at. Given how painfully slow the character turns around, this makes you slowly walk into a wall, then slowly scrape along as you S-L-O-W-L-Y turn around, just to go back the way you were already trying to go. No doubt while something is actively chasing you. :) I am very thankful I played this through Game Pass. I would have been extremely disappointed if I had spent any money on this game. I can justify my Game Pass cost with many other titles and completely omit this one from its value in my head thankfully.

    Three stars for cool idea and nice visuals, one ultimate star because the former positives to the game only serve to be the carrot on the end of the self torture stick.    … Expand

    They tried. If you're looking for a nice looking, easy walking simulator with a spooky ghost story that won't break your brain and get you some 'feels' this is it. If you're looking for a serious game of the likes of Silent Hill keep looking then.

    Technically it is a nice looking project. Story and gameplay wise, not so much. First - the game is a third person 'walking simulator' as in the game has no gameplay. At all. It just lets you click on stuff in a determined order. Second - the story has some good elements but overall the pacing is all wrong, writing is average, dialogues are ok, the monologues are downright terrible (and the protagonist comments on stuff quite a lot).

    A lot of people compare it to Silent Hill. Apart from general horror genre and fixed camera views there is nothing similar between the two games. The Medium has nice visuals but the feel is not dense or suffocating or even scary (not at all) as Silent Hill could do. The only emotions the game could bring up in me towards the end was of boredom and frustration (especially from the slow walking and running animations - it took forever to get anywhere). The gameplay is non-existent, the difficulty is laughable, the puzzles are "old school" as in a click on this before you bring the object from five meters away here to continue". Even good old Resident Evil could do better.

    As in Bloober's previous games the idea is there and it's not really a bad one. The execution is a hit and big miss.    … Expand

    How about render 4 screens next time? I've heard that there's a PC that can run it still. You can do better next time. Have you ever run performance tests before release?
    Why do you decide to shrink both worlds instead of just switch between them? Maybe two screens should be must have to play? Along with 3090?

    HDR option is grey out and cannot be enabled. There is nothing wrong with my HDR hardware or drivers. I believe the game just expects that I enable HDR in my windows display - but why would I do that, since I don't want to use HDR with desktop apps (and why would anyone want that?), but an app can perfectly enable HDR for itself in the fullscreen mode. There isn't any more explanation than poor technical level of the developers and/or complete lack of QA or both.

    Performance issues, on RTX3090 and AMD series 5000 the game manage to drop frames quite a bit in a "sense mode". You do need technical skills to drop frames on that hardware, but The Medium devs archived that.

    There is also no any real way to save - not sure what are some developers willing to archive by not adding this simple option - annoy players? Well you certainly archived that.

    Sorry again, but this is another technical disaster above all. Dunno how it works on Xbox X, but on a PC there is only one reason you should play the game - you work in a QA department and you are getting paid to play it. Everybody else should probably wait until it is technically ready.    … Expand

They hide DLSS in the AA settings, really stupid but had little effect for me as far as framerates.

    O pior game para PC que já joguei. Conseguiu ser pior que Cyberpunk 2077! Gráficos datados e feios, cenários estáticos e sem vida, que não justificam o uso de 100% de uma RTX 2060 Super, enquanto o processador fica dormindo com 10% de uso. Os desenvolvedores deveria ser presos por estelionato!

    The game offers little experience overall, it feels more like watching a (very) slow-paced mistery movie wich is somewhat boring.

    And if you manage to push it till the end, (wich is easy, as the game is pretty straight-forward) be prepared to be dissapointed by a unsatisfying cliffhanger ending.

    I don't like this game, don't play it, and keep this money to buy 40 ice creams or something.
    Let me explain, the medium is a horror game that's not scary, an adventure game without adventure, a story driven game without a good story.
    First, the game is not scary, behind the mirror it is hellish for sure but scary it is not, the enemies are more frustrating than dangerous, since you    I don't like this game, don't play it, and keep this money to buy 40 ice creams or something.
    Let me explain, the medium is a horror game that's not scary, an adventure game without adventure, a story driven game without a good story.
    First, the game is not scary, behind the mirror it is hellish for sure but scary it is not, the enemies are more frustrating than dangerous, since you always encounter them during set pieces you are mostly bored during the rest of the game and these set pieces are not smart, hard, or even tenses if you know how to handle a controller.
    Then, let's touch about the "adventure" part of the game, well... It's not good either, most enigmas/problems are too easy or don't make sense which means that you never have this "ha-ha" moment, it looks more like either "well yeah I guess...", "so I just needed to continue the game for the solution to jump me", or "the cat on the mirror, in which universe does that make sense !!!" so you default to clicking on everything because well "it won't make sense anyway"
    The story... well It's more uninteresting than badly written, (it is still not stellar writing though), the world seems boring and static and the story itself is kind of uninteresting and convoluted, and please don't get me started on this protagonist, she can be funny at times but most of the time she straddles the line between stupid and infuriating.
    In conclusion, this is not great, but I'm sad to write this caustic review, because there was something in this game, the concept is genius, some story beats are genuinely good (especially when the mc is not on camera...) and I feel that with a bit more work in the writing, ambience, and gameplay department it would have been pretty solid game. But on our side of the mirror, you should avoid it, or wait a deep discount.    … Expand

    Tempo aproximado de jogo: 7h

    Conquistas desbloqueadas (XBOX) - 33/39 - 760/1000 pontos. (Um bom game para pegar conquistas, fiz 760 pontos sem me preocupar com isso)

    Jogado no PC - I5 de 10ª geração; RTX 2060 6gb; 16gb de RAM.

    Esse jogo trata da história de uma garota (Marianne) que tem poderes de contato com o mundo dos mortos. Você começa o jogo indo arrumar o corpo do pai adotivo de Marianne para o funeral. O jogo trás um projeto ambicioso da Bloober Team que nos mostra 2 mundos ao mesmo tempo (como uma tela dividida de 2 jogadores).

    Piękne lokacje, fabuła może być, gameplay fatalny

    Fabuła: 5,5
    Grywalność: 3
    Doznania wizualne: 7

    Piękny świat.
    Z jednej strony klimatyczne wnętrza, piękne lasy i opuszczone miejsca z czasów PRLu, a z drugiej świat niczym wyjęty z obrazów Beksińskiego.
    Podział ekranu na 2 części czasem intryguje, a czasem utrudnia cieszenie się ich urokiem, tak jak i brak swobodnej kamery.
    Niestety, wszędzie jest bardzo ciasno - jak po sznurku prowadzi nas kamera i niewidzialne ściany.

    Fabuła najwyżej w porządku.
    Próbuje być ciekawa, ale nie do końca to wychodzi. Nie jest zbyt porywająca i nie potrafiłem wystarczająco poczuć więzi między postaciami.
    Obok zwrotów akcji przechodziłem obojętnie, a zakończenie było nieciekawe i niesatysfakcjonujące.

    Fatalna rozgrywka.
    Uciążliwa i działa zdecydowanie na niekorzyść gry. Już wolałby, żeby jej w ogóle nie było.
    Polega chodzeniu bardzo powolnym krokiem, obijając się o ściany lub kadr kamery. Przedmiotów do podniesienia na tyle mało, że nie ma wątpliwości czego i na czym użyć.

    Format tak ubogiej przygotówki był nietrafiony. Znacznie lepiej sprawdziłoby się to w widoku z pierwszej osoby, nie mówiąc już o VR.
    Lepsza byłaby jakaś inna forma interaktywnego filmu.

    Upierdliwe sceny uciekania - po cutscence kamera często odwraca się o 180 stopni, więc chociaż raz automatycznie giniemy wchodząc w to, co nas goni.

    Dzielenie ekranu na 2 światy nie było dobrym pomysłem. Znacznie fajniejsze byłoby zastępowanie jednego drugim, lub (najlepiej płynne i efektowne) nakładaniem się na siebie.    … Expand

So many damn cutscenes makes this game so boring, if you like to enjoy other things besides the story, forget about this game. Akira Yamaoka is a master, but a bad game with good music is not an option for me, sorry. This cannot be called a horror game, let alone a survival horror game.

    Gráficos: Os gráficos do jogo são abaixo do esperado para o game de uma nova geração. Ele trás elementos de Ray tracing, porém, é pouco utilizado. No "mundo dos mortos" o raytracing desaparece por completo, deixando essa experiência apenas no mundo dos vivo em algumas poças d'agua deixada pela chuva, os raros espelhos e iluminação do sol.

    Ambientação e história: É um game de terror/suspense que te trás uma proposta nova com elementos nostálgicos. A ambientação e história só fica realmente completa se você buscar todos os colecionáveis, ao ler os cartões, cartas e buscar as memorias nos objetos e integrar com a história o game trás uma história extremamente envolvente e completa. Deixa a desejar em relação aos momentos de "terror", apesar de trazer uma boa ambientação, há poucos momentos em que fiquei aflito ao jogar (Acredito que os momentos de real aflição são os momentos de encontro com o "the maw" no mundo real - em que o personagem está totalmente invisível e você precisa se esconder dele). Apesar deste ponto, a história trás um universo novo e muito interessante. (E estou torcendo para ter continuação).

    Jogabilidade: O game trás uma jogabilidade simples, intuitiva e agradável. O elemento de divisão de telas e "experiência extracorpórea" são os destaques desse game e eles não deixam a desejar. São vários momentos em que a tela dividida é utilizada e complementam completamente a experiência do jogo. Para concluir o jogo você deve resolver vários puzzles, buscando elementos nos dois mundos e se escondendo do "the maw" ao longo do game. Você usa o "sexto sentido" da Marianne para te auxiliar na busca de pistas nos cenários e este faz os elementos brilharem. Existe 2 momentos no jogo que é alternado a personagem principal com o Thomas, outro médium do game. Ambos tem poderes diferentes e interagem com o cenário de forma diferente o que faz com que o game fique menos cansativo. (EM OFF: Pra quem está esperando atirar em zumbis, espíritos ou coisas ruins, esse game não tem isso, é um game no estilo Outcast. Seu personagem não pode fazer grandes coisas além de correr).

    Uso de recursos: Monitorei a primeira hora de game usando o MSI e vi que o game puxa muito da placa de vídeo (ficando em 100% em todo o game). Apesar disso meu PC aguentou rodar o game em 1080p, com raytracing no Alto oscilando entre 30 e 60 FPS - achei um leve problema de otimização, pelos gráficos, mesmo no mundo dividido era para conseguir manter acima dos 50fps. O baixo uso do processador (abaixo dos 40%) deixa abertura para aplicação de DLSS (que esperava que viesse nativamente), porém, esse recurso ainda não está disponível.

    Conclusão: A Bloober Team trouxe uma experiência muito agradável, nostálgica e ambiciosa. Isso mostra o potencial que a Microsoft trouxe para alavancar os estúdios a criarem verdadeiras obras de arte.

    Apesar dos defeitos em relação ao gráfico, uso de recursos e ambientação de terror, o game trouxe uma experiência muito agradável revivendo cenários similares a Silent Hill e Resident Evil. A história é bem envolvente e o final é surpreendente.

    Minha sugestão: Jogue os primeiros 30min de jogo, caso você não goste da movimentação ou da câmera feche o game e seja feliz. Esse game é direcionado para um publico alvo especifico (o pessoal que jogava games de terror no PS1 e os novos jogadores que não se incomodarem com o estilo de jogo).    … Expand

    The Medium is a psychological thriller with various simple puzzles, a whiff of horror and music like from Silent Hill. As a result, you will play the game mainly because of the storytelling and for its atmosphere. [Issue#310]

    The Medium deftly ties all loose story ends and shows impressive art direction, but it lacks wholeness. The game feels like an artist who has too many ideas at the same time; he would grab a brush, then a pen or a piece of coal… but still cannot finish his masterpiece.

    The Medium isn't an unflawed masterpiece. It's got some performance issues on PC and some jankeyness in unexpected places. However it has got this absolutely unique horror atmosphere, beautifully crafted worlds and some absolute heart-string pulling story moments. This is a successful return of the "horror adventure" game style from those golden oldies everyone fondly remembers. Bloober Team has done an outstanding job making this title and it's one hundred percent recommended to all fans of horror.
