    The music in this game is amazing
    creature design is good
    but cheap human model and animation

    The bloober team has evolved from a walking simulator
    but This time started a boring hide and seek
    Will they play with a stick next time?

    Just another eastern eu game. No story, no good mechanics, no optimization. I glad I played in gamepass, and didn't have to buy it.

    Eu detestei o jogo, de longe um dos piores jogos do xbox game studios que Eu Já Vi , Um Jogo de 8° geração de Vídeo Game não consegue manter em 60 fps , a jogabilidade é lamentável a câmera não me agrada é quando abre a tela dos 2 mundos o fps despenca pra 20 fps a imagem vai pra 2K E não tem nenhum momento com ray tracing realmente lamentavel

    5 hours long which I like. But I had to motivate myself to play it a lot. Not the most fun game. A LOT of cutscenes. Probably 40 minutes worth making this 4 and a bit hours. Would I play the sequel if there was one? No. Overall 4/10. Not the worst game in the world and thank god it’s short. Had a good idea but it didn’t translate into fun gameplay.    … Expand

    Mediocre. I can see what they were trying to do, as the game is very “Silent Hill”-esque. But the story drags in places and makes very little sense by the end.

    You play as Marianne, who has the ability to travel into another dimension. She is given a mysterious message and ends up investigating an abandoned resort. Other than being somewhat short, the story doesn't have a lot going for it. Things happen without much explanation and I was never able to connect with any of the characters.

    The game also uses a technology that allows you to see two dimensions at once using a split screen. While I read somewhere that this is groundbreaking technology, it just feels gimmicky and unnecessary. It does show you how silly the protagonist looks talking to the air in the real world. But they easily could have done without it.

    For the most part, the puzzles and levels are pretty bland. There is one level in the Red House toward the end that was done very well, but the rest are very forgettable.

    Slow running is also a real problem for me in video games. I see the reason for it in a horror-type game, but it was still irritating none the less.

    Overall, not a recommendation. Better to play the older Silent Hill or Resident Evil games instead.    … Expand

    Its so bored. The mechanics are very rough, the moments where you get scared are few, the only one that really scared me was the one in the bathtub, the others were not intense. It takes a long time to get somewhere because you walk very slowly, you don't run. When you are in both worlds it looks horrible

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most BOOOOOOOORRRRIIINNGG game I have ever played. I usually don't play AA games, but I wanted to see what's the hype all about. OVERHYPED, OVERRATED GAME. Can't pan camera, meaning movement is difficult. I tried 4 times to run from maw after releasing Richard's soul and then I realized it's not my fault that I am failing, ITS THE NOOB DEVELOPERS. NO WONDER THEY CANT MAKE AAA GAMES. When running, Marianne tends to aimlessly run coz of that auto camera panning. The noob device can't seriously expect me to press a button for which I have to line up perfectly with the hole in the wall,then get confused about whether or not I should move the light or open the gate using bolt cutter that I have to equip and press LT and RT 4 times before the chain breaks and then push a button again to open the gets by when she is nit running anymore - all in a very limited amount of time?The mission is so UNBALANCED and BIASED that I didn't even feel like playing anymore.

Untill Dawn, a game that came out 6 years ago is better than the Medium in every way. Also Fatal Frame 4 a Wiiu game is more involed and techniqally advanced than the medium. Dual worlds was done one the n64 and there is no excuse for those animations and the lack of attention to detail and interactivity.
    Anyone with moderate experiance with games will see in moments that The Medium is a below par effert. Unfortunatly journalists arent required to have any experiance with games to do official public reviews.

    It wasn't worth the wait.
    The game is ultimately a disappointment.
    - The puzzles are stupid.
    - The controls are annoying and were already garbage with Resident Evil.
    - The chase with the monster is hardly possible. That only causes frustration for the player.

Humor de disney o marvel?, jugabilidad, el mismo tanque de los re de psx, no es que me afecte mucho pero a estas alturas de la vida no puedes traer mecanicas viejas sin mejorarlas, en resumen, un juego que quizo pero no pudo, a los usuarios de xbox que blasfemaron compatandolo con silent hill, haganse ver por favor la cabeza y dejen de hablar con el fanatismo, este juego es mas una caricatura de nikelodeon que un silemt hill hay que lavarse la boca antes de mencionar ese nombre, mi nota va por haberlo jugado en pc con una 2080ti asi q si con eso no puedo dar mejor critica en lo grafico con trajetas mayores no me imagino, el juego defraudo en todo aspecto lastimosamente.

    Pdta: para los que dicen que el juego es innovador por tener dos pantallas al mismo tiempo, el tema del mundo doble ya lo hacia un juego hace mas de 20 años el Soul Reaver, no vengan a profetizar grandes invenciones cuando un juego de psx ya lo hacia hace 20 años y con hardware arcaico, ni tampoco a decir que es el sucesor de Silent Hill cuando ni al Downpoor se le asemeja.

    Chato demais. Só andar pra lá e pra cá. Diferente, por exemplo, de RE, que podemos usar uma arma. Não posso falar de otimização porque joguei no PC, mas, parece que esta com problemas no Xbox.
    Como jogo inicial dos novos SS e SX uma decepção.

    Juego malo. Mecanicas de gameplay desastrosas
    Cosas malas:
    La cámara
    Gráficos
    Bugs de misiones y personajes
    El final
    Conclusión:
    Una muy buena idea y buen concepto de juego aunque con grandes fallos técnicos y final horroroso

    « The Medium » est la nouvelle daube des faiseurs de daubes habituelles dans le genre horrifique à deux balles, à savoir les baltringues de chez la « Bloober Team » qui ont déjà commis les Layers of Fear, Blair Witch et Observer ! avec un tel palmerdès, inutile de dire qu’on s’attendait au pire et… qu’on a pas été déçu !

    Mais à dire vrai, la seule différence entre cette nouvelle daube et les précédentes, c’est qu’elle est -enfin- jolie à regarder malgré une résolution « dynamique » qui tutoie les tréfonds de la génération d’avant et ce, sur la console la plus puissante du moment, la Series X ! et de surcroît, on reste limité à du 30 im/s… et puis c’est tout.

    Du 30 im/s dans un jeu à caméras fixes neuf fois sur dix et ce, dans le sous-genre Resident Debil ou Silent Debill, il fallait le faire ! d’ailleurs, c’est tellement programmé n’importe comment que même sur un PC de fou avec une 3080 au cul, impossible d’avoir un 60 im/s constant… Sur Series X, on notera aussi des temps de chargement assez choquants pour un jeu de cet acabit, plus scripté qu’elle vieille telenovela : 18 secondes au bas mot, non mais sans déconner…!

    Sinon, pour le reste, c’est une sorte de « silenthillerie » complètement foutraque à laquelle on n’entrave que dalle dont la jouabilité rigide est constamment et carrément à l’ouest, ce qui nous rappelle les heures les plus sombres des sous-merdes bien connues telles que les Resident Debileries ou les infâmes Silent Debilleries de jadis !

    Sans queue ni tête et très pénible, The Medium fait n’importe quoi sous le fallacieux prétexte horrifique, un prétexte qui sombre régulièrement dans le mauvais goût et qui nous gave à très grande vitesse ; alors, direction la poubelle avec tous les étrons de son genre !    … Expand

Me lo habían recomendado como una revolución gráfica y tan sólo algún efecto de partículas cumple (porque la mayoría son imágenes estáticas, es muy fácil conseguir "fotorealismo" así). La historia es buena pero es tan pausado que llega a aburrir mucho. La animación y el control del personaje, desastrosos. La música y ambientación, eso sí, muy muy buenas, pero para mí no hacen que llegue al aprobado. Creo que hay muchos juegos anteriores muy superiores, incluso en la Xbox One.… Expand

    Poor and inconsistent game design.

    Some jump scares that are too old. Come on! You are not a Resident Evil. Just stop doing this and make us uncomfortable like a good Silent Hill.
    But the most annoying things are the checkpoints. I was far away some times and the inconsistent gameplay just failed me. I died and, after a looong loading, I was at the beggining of the **** hotel.

    I went into this with the premise of a horrifying adventure and was greeted with a messy, cinematic adventure that tries too hard to be intricate and ends up swimming in an ocean of commonalities with plenty of other media from the same genre.

    From the beginning the game starts strongly and makes Marianne's world interesting, however once you get into Nowa resort the story fails to hold itself together and becomes too tangled with its smaller details while being ignorant towards the larger ones.

    Marianne's main motive which is to investigate a mysterious caller who has promised to speak to her about her ability to converse with the dead, as well as a reoccurring dream she keeps experiencing is sidelined heavily and in comes a focus on smaller characters and smaller story notes which ultimately add no substance to the plot, such as Ursula, a grief stricken nurse who as a result of her own sadness is possessed and kills the people of the resort. While the description of this character and her acts of horror sound interesting, you never once come in contact with Ursula or experience the horrors of this character as not only is she long gone before Marianne's arrival, her story is mostly shown in collectibles and adds little weight to the plot as never once is she mentioned.

    Then there's Richard, a traumatic painter who has a "Jekyll and Hyde" personality that is controlled by a gargantuous multiple armed monster known as the "Child Eater", who is also collectible material until one scene where he's linked to the plot and if you didn't find enough collectibles to know this same person is Richard, the story looks structurally messy. This is due to how lazily executed their decision making is and ultimately makes collectible hunting a double edged sword where the result is largely inconsequential in Ursula's case, as well as a few other faces you won't meet along the way. However an obligation in Richard's case otherwise you're out of the loop on a large plot detail and left lost.

    With these side plots out the way you may think you find the mysterious voice who was the focal point of the plot, however through the 8 hour + run you never do, it's more useless plot extensions up until the last half hour where the game decides to drop a huge bomb shell that wasn't hinted at once within the story or built up so it seems incredibly forced and out of place.

    As a result the game ends with a flat story and an even messier ending where it's open ended for the sake of trying to push a sequel yet largely lacks suspense.

    Throughout the 8 hour run there's only 5 encounters with an "enemy" and they're delegated to easy stealth situations which can be finished in 10 minutes. The rest of the game has you treading an empty world doing easy puzzles that won't require you to look up a guide once as you're strung along by a story that seemingly makes details up as you go.

    The camera is horrible and can be the reason you miss collectibles and/or doorways meaning you'll be stuck in loop until you find the right area by mistake, the characters outside of Marianne are underdeveloped, lack personality and exist to make the world seem bigger, despite coming off as empty because of this and the musical score is something I don't remember even as I type this, it's so samey and fails to stand out.

    Enemy design is wasted on cutscenes and never once pose a threat or succeed in delivering fear, instead you'll go in a room expecting to be scared yet never encounter anything that makes you scared.

    The voice acting is praiseworthy however and the usage of multiple realities made the game tolerable, but didn't save it from being a common possession story with a lame story. I expected better but I got it off gamepass so I don't feel cheated, just let down.    … Expand

    Despite clunky animations, repetitive gameplay and some technical issues with the Xbox Series X version, I completed The Medium twice. Its dual-reality design, art direction and brilliant soundtrack often made me stop to take in a view or relish the music. Its mature story and atmosphere reminiscent of Silent Hill helped a lot too.

    The Medium didn’t manage to become a spiritual successor to Silent Hill, but it’s still a significant step forward for Bloober Team. [Issue#252, p.50]

    The exclusive Microsoft - The Medium is yet another significant milestone in the catalogue of psychological horror games from Bloober Team, which is increasingly becoming one of the best studios in this area. Without hiding where it comes from, it's an experience horror fans won't want to miss, no matter how short. The duality approach is interesting and has enormous potential. I hope that the Bloober Team will get to work on it again and develop it more in-depth.
