    I'm honestly baffled at how horrifically bad the story was, lots of collision bugs and on top of all of that you have to deal with unbelievably clunky tank controls alla PSX style of survival horror games, performance was also honestly subpar for what essentially was a puzzle game.
    Overall, I strongly recommend you to stay away from this thing, there are better games of this kind of genre    I'm honestly baffled at how horrifically bad the story was, lots of collision bugs and on top of all of that you have to deal with unbelievably clunky tank controls alla PSX style of survival horror games, performance was also honestly subpar for what essentially was a puzzle game.

    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.
