    It was nice adventure of Bloober! I have Layers of Fera 1 and 2 and Observer too. Medium is the best game of this developper. Just ..... too short!

    Świetna gra, ogólnie wolę nieco inne horrory ale sumując wszystko wypada tutaj bardzo dobrze. Minus bym dał za mieszanie języka PL i ENG na napisach, po co tak??????? Toż to bzdura. No i dubbing w PL by się przydał, nawet jakby gra była nieco droższa w PL. Co do działania nie narzekam ale mam mocnego PC. Dałbym 10, ale przez te napisy daję 9.

    Decent visuals but everything else was horribly disappointing. Bad cheesy writing riddled with overused clichés. Very inconsistent voice acting and audio levels.

Nearly non-existent gameplay, mostly walking/running and some puzzles, a handful of chase sequences and a few really bad stealth sections. The monotone of the "other" reality got old super fast. The level design was terribly uninspired with 90% of the areas being a straight road with 1 or 2 branches. Several characters left with no arc or backstory or development of any kind. Several loose ends, a horrible ending that makes The Medium 1 seem like a focus group experiment for the next game, not to mention the post credits cutscene is basically an ad for The Medium 2. Had been looking forward to this game for years, and I feel like I gave it everything I had to like it... it just isn't worth it. Not a good game in any way shape or form. In the words of immortan Joe: "Mediocre." Expand

    The game seems to be a combination of resident evil and silent hill. It has fun puzzles and is visually beautiful. I find that it runs better if you lock the framerate. The acting is good as well. The fixed camera angle starts off weird but you get used to it.

    The writing is awesome, love the dialog lines carefully placed and thought that make you feel the emotions of the characters resulting in an immersing experience.
    The story revolves around a mystery that really caught me and made me beat the game in two long sittings wish that It was longer but it was just fine, the story had it time to develop and go through all the steps resulting in a rewarding and surprising end.

    Another thing that blew me off was the gameplay and the camera techniques the split-screen mechanic is amazing, I have never seen it, and the camera technique that is fixed based on the scene gives the game a unique personality and I loved it.

    The graphics and animations are good, wish that the lip sync was better because the characters are so beautifully modeled and a good lip sync is all that is missing.
    I have to mention the music that is setting up the mood in all of the scenes the themes of the soundtrack are well chosen and gives a nice touch of personality to every scene.

    For the first big project of Bloober Team it is amazing.

    While certainly blessed with an interesting story and some interesting underlying mechanics, "The Medium" tries to imitate certain classic titles of the survival horror genre without grasping what turned them into those classics. They also mistook some of the mostly age-related flaws of those games and not only replicated them, but made them worse.

    While certainly blessed with an interesting story and some interesting underlying mechanics, "The Medium" tries to imitate certain classic titles of the survival horror genre without grasping what turned them into those classics. They also mistook some of the mostly age-related flaws of those games and not only replicated them, but made them worse.

    You don't get a masterpiece if you just imitate the terrible movement controls of those games and have the camera angle change three times whenever you walk through a room. And having to zoom in on any given item or document up to three times so that you can look at it, only to have to zoom out three times so that you can move again does not result in the kind of nostalgia the developers were obviously going for.

    It's also one of those games where someone really wanted to make a movie, and did neither have the budget nor the experience to pull it off. Overall the narrative is decent, and despite some pacing issues and wooden animations the team succeded at creating the atmosphere they were going for.

    You can see the inner battle of "The Medium" in almost every scene, but you can also see the inner battle of the game to stand on it's own feet and not just become a cheap copy - and I'm not sure that one has a happy ending.

    * Very short. Can be completed in 6-7 hours.
    * The gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
    * Performance is very unstable.
    * Bugs and crashes.

    Verdict:

    While the game has a fairly good story and a very intersting split-screen mechanic, the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. There is no real enemies or combat. The Maw will just chase you in a few scripted sequences. Most of the time you're free to explore at your own pace. The game is basically a walking simulator with gameplay basically only consisting of solving some very basic puzzles, but there is no challenge here. The game is very short and can be completed in 6-7 hours which is both good and bad. Good because the lack in gameplay would have been very repetitive had it been longer. The game also suffers from bad performance (25-130 fps on an RTX 3090) with lag spikes every so often. I also had 4 crashes and 3 times I got stuck in invisilble objects, forcing me to reload. Luckily I only paid $30 for it, because it really isn't worth more.

    Feels like a rip off silent Hill game with and uninspired story, only thing that is it looks pretty but that's about it for the 8-10 hours of wasted gameplay. Glad this was on gamepass as if I'd payed full price I would've been asking for a refund.

If you're expecting a polished AAA experience then keep looking, this is the studio's first project on this scale, but The Medium is a wonderfully modern throwback to the golden era of video game horror, as well as a path forward. If they get a sequel, I think that's going to be the one that launches this studio into superstardom. Expand

    A really nice game that harkens back to old school horror games of the 90s. I genuinely liked the story and appreciate that it doesn't rely on cheap jumpscares but is rather suspenseful and creepy.

    The medium es un buen juego, correcto sin alardes. Tiene una historia muy interesante de suspense que te atrapa bastante y quieres saber en todo momento del título cada vez más y más de la elaborada narrativa que ofrece. Sin duda lo mejor del juego.
    Gráficamente es bonito pero no es next gen desde luego en ningún aspecto y mucho menos en los modelados y expresiones faciales que son bastante lamentables.
    La dualidad de mundos es interesante pero noto que está desaprovechada en el juego.
    El sonido es un gran aliciente y la banda sonora también.
    El juego carece de puzles interesantes y no hay ningún tipo de reto durante la aventura.
    No he muerto ni una sola vez y si alguien muere es porque algo ha hecho mal no porque el juego le proponga un reto.
    El juego puede durar unas 10 horas ya que la movilidad es lenta pero lo peor del título sin duda es que carece de exploración y no ofrece rejugabilidad ninguna.

    Básicamente ver un longplay en youtube y jugar al juego no dista de ser una experiencia muy diferente siendo sinceros.

    Aun así es un buen título que aconsejo si tienes el game pass pero no recomendaría a nadie por 50 euros.

Half of budget was spent on Akira Yamaoka, then why is music so bland and unnoticeable in this "game"? I guess it's obvious by now that this team can't produce anything but TRASH. Unoptimazed trash, sorry. And they want 50$ for this? LMAO! Do not support these scammers. 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 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.

    Do not recommend.

    Onestamente penso sia un gioco molto emozionante. La trama è interessante e il gameplay è ingegnoso e ricco di dettagli riguardanti le caratteristiche e lo storico dei personaggi. Graficamente gradevole, anche se a volte si presentano cali di frame-rate e sfarfallio di qualche texture. Complessivamente gioco più che discreto

    Juego de notable alto, para mi gusto, gran sonido que te envuelve, una jugabilidad clasica, y una muy buena historia, buenos graficos, quizas se ha hechado en falta el doblaje al castellano, pero en general la verdad es que me ha sorprendido, no me esperaba un juego tan bueno.

    This game is a good throwback to the old Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Dino Crisis games.

    "Few jump scares and lots of looking for items" I have mixed feelings about this game. It is good and worth a play through but has some flaws. Environments look really nice but character models are flat and could have used more work. Also movement is super slow but i feel like they done it on

    Also movement is super slow but i feel like they done it on purpose to add suspense. it just didn't work tbh.

    Overall it was a good game.
    Definitely worth playing if you are a Game Pass subscriber.

    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.

    The Medium es un juego que pese a su mala optimización (entendible por el presupuesto de un estudio pequeño) y escasos puzzles, logra generar intriga a lo largo de la historia, sin mencionar el gran trabajo de quienes dieron vida a los personajes de la misma con la actuación de voz.

Controles tanque, fixed camera, el OST y los paisajes ominosos hacen que uno se sienta jugando a los juegos de terror clásicos (aquí el factor nostalgia) que recurrieron a estos elementos por las limitaciones tecnológicas de su época, sin embargo, al tratarse más de una una aventura gráfica, su manera de cautivar al jugador cae bastante en el plot, teniendo constantes giros argumentales que, si bien algunos son cliché, no son tan predecibles.


    En estos tiempos en que ya los juegos de suspenso/terror no son tan populares, este es una buena propuesta para pasar el rato (NO ES UN SILENT HILL, FANBOYS XBOXERS Y SONYERS).

    Tiempo de juego: He tardado al menos 10 horas desde mi primer juego tratando de sacar todos los logros sin guía y me faltan todavía. No hagan caso a los niñatos que dicen que sólo dura 5 horas el juego (dudo tengan todos los logros en el primer run). Eso tardarías en un run sabiéndo perfecto el juego y sin trabarse.

    The Medium is probably the most fully realized (original) game by Bloober Team.

    The Medium is probably the most fully realized (original) game by Bloober Team.

    the art direction is simply out of this world. as a person who loved Beksiński art before knowing how to even read his name properly, I am amazed at how well his paintings and the whole world become a living entity. it's a bit less impressive in the tight interiors, partly because of the sometimes questionable placements of the camera, but overall the love and appreciation for pan Beksiński is felt in every second of this game.

    the story is very decent, too. it manages a nice balance of predictability and genuine suspense and mystery, very familiar and mundane late-soviet things are nestled well together with some rather screwed up subject matters. if anything, for a foreigner who is interested in Poland, this game feels and plays very polish. being from a neighboring country, I quite liked the painful authenticity of the environment design.

    the characters are quite interesting, too - probably my favorite out of all BT's games. they are solidly written, amazingly acted and have enough charisma to make drudging through the "gameplay" and at times disastrous level design at very least bearable.

    because no matter how competent the game is, how well-animated, no matter how many expensive talents are involved, and how lofty the developer's ambitions are, this is still very much a Bloober Team's game, a stylish, unevenly paced walking simulator with tons of notes, unskippable chases from unkillable monsters who one-hit you and painful, miserable lack of any meaningful gameplay.

    yes, the split-screen level design and puzzles are nice - the first couple of times. same as mirror puzzles. same as "dive" puzzles. 95% of the game is just walking, sometimes breaking into a ridiculously slow jog.

    unfortunately, it's not the "Silent Hill successor" we've been promised. it's Layers of Fear, but in third person. an early 00s puzzle game, but simplistic and boring.

    just another Bloober Team's game.

    Szczerze gra mnie mocno zawiodła pod wieloma względami wady produkcji wymienię poniżej w punktach dla przejrzystości

    1 .Cena : Tak jest to wada jestem człowiekiem który przelicza czas gry na zł nowa produkcja Bloober Team aktualnie kosztuje zawrotne 180 zł gdyby przejście jej zajmowało z 30-40 godzin to byłbym w stanie to zaakceptować ale tak nie jest fabuły starcza maksymalnie na 8 godzin co daje około 22 zł za 1 godzinę dla porównania cyberpunk 2077 kosztujący 20zł więcej na premierę oferuje aż 50 godzin rozgrywki przepaść ogromna gdybym miał do wyboru kupić the medium lub cyberpunka to nie wahałbym sie ani chwili i wyszedł z cyberpunkiem ze sklepu

    2. Horror a może nie ? : Zacznijmy od tego że produkcja była od dawna promowana jako gra horror patrząc na poprzedni tytuł od tego studia czyli blair witch miałem wysokie oczekiwania niestety jak sie okazało za wysokie gra nie ma nic wspólnego z horrorem przez pierwsze 2 godziny gry twórcy jedynie próbują nas straszyć uwaga migającym światłem takie coś mogłoby kogoś przestraszyć może 10 lat temu ale nie dziś gra naprawdę długo myślałem po przejściu co miało nas w tej grze wystraszyć i nic nie wymyśliłem dla mnie studio zrobiło krok w tył pod tym względem straszenia nawet nie pokusili się na dodanie do gry banalnych do wykonania jumpscarów zdecydowanie nie jest to tytuł dla osób lubiących horrory

    3 Wymagania : W skrócie są kosmiczne do odpalenia gry na low w 30 klatkach jest potrzebny gtx 1060 patrząc na statystyki steama które pokazują najczęściej używane karty przez graczy można założyć że około 60-70 % graczy nie jest w stanie komfortowo zagrać w the medium gra też nie wygląda jakoś lepiej od innych tytułów z poprzednich lat

    4 Wpychanie mechanik na siłę: Mówię tu o mechanice np podzielonego ekranu w momencie gdy protagonistka przenosi sie do 2 świata obraz dzieli sie na 2 części 1 strona pokazuje świat realny natomiast 2 świat duchów znajduje ona w nim pewną osobę i zaczyna rozmowe i tu dzieje sie nagle coś dziwnego z 1 strony na ekranie widzimy protagonistkę mówiąca do ściany a z 2 normalnie rozmawiającą z osobą po co podczas takiej rozmowy jest nam pokazywany świat realny skoro nic sie tam nie dzieje nie lepiej byłoby dać świat duchów na pełny ekran ? jak dla mnie jest to takie wpychanie mechaniki na siłę

    5.Reszta: Historia jest poprawna nie wybitna dodatkowo jednorazowa zagadki są stworzone jak dla dziecka trafiłem może raz podczas rozgrywki na jakąś trudniejszą no i lokacje są całkiem ładne

    Szczerze odradzam jej kupno za pełną cenę jeśli naprawdę chcecie ją przetestować kupcie sobie gamepassa za 40 zł tyle może i jest warta ewentualnie poczekajcie z rok będzie na przecenie po 30 zł

    من الآخر:

    1- اللعبة جمليه ونجحت في إحساس اللاعب بالرعب من خلال طريقة اللعب، التصوير والمؤثرات الصوتية على الرغم إنها مو مرعبة بشكل كبير.
    2- أغلب المهام/الألغاز سهلة وما تتطلب إي تفكير وبشكل عام ماكو أي شي صعب باللعبة.
    3- الجزء الثاني من اللعبة ركز بشده على القصة وسرد أحداثها وافتقر لجانب الرعب اللي رسمته اللعبة في الجزء الأول منها.
    4- إذا تبي تلعب اللعبة وتعيش جوها الفعلي فجهز سماعتك، استخدم وحده تحكم (فيها هزاز) وطف الإضاءة.

    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.
