    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

    Really slow game. Absolutely no gameplay what so ever. Camera is abysmal. It's a walking simulator with no scary moments.

    3/1/21-3/2/21 100% Story

    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
    3/1/21-3/2/21 100% Story

    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.

    « 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
    « 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 !

    Ambiance correct, 8h is like DLC, gameplay too old, and technicaly it's just a shame... 4k dynamique at 1440p range, sometimes 900p@30fps big drops of framerate.
    640p on séries s...(ram will be a real problem for both consoles during all the gen).

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.
    BlobberTeams Games are always Quickly developed Very cheap games Where's theres no gameplay Mechanics or systems In play . This game is no difference, You walk around With chunky animations Looking for puzzles to solve And then keep walking . The Fact Games media Rates these blobbergame so high is the reason we don't get a Truly good horror game That would live up to the greats Like Silent Hill.

    The multiple points of view give a very unique combination of cinematic feeling and presence. There are sometimes 3 view ports on the scene (real world, parallel world, real world through a mirror) and it's really impressive. The RT reflections also give an understated but effective presence in the scenes. A real step up from Bloober, looking forward to their next game.

    The Medium tiene ese nombre debido a que es el medio de dos cosas, medio olor a queso rancio y medio a almejas podridas. Si buscas acción, este juego te va a decepcionar, el juego es pasillero a morir, no puedes matar enemigos como en el Silent Hill y es corto teniendo duración entre 8 y 9 horas y media.

    It’s a complete mess, the Story is mediocre, and the dual screen gimmick only makes the game run poorly at 30 FPS and a lower resolution, it was 1 of the worst horror games I’ve ever played

    A disappointment. It’s patronising that you are forced to only walk. The animations are unfinished which is sad because the environmental art is lovely. The gimmick doesn’t salvage what is bad directorship.

    This game is very boring. You repeat completing the same kinds of tasks over and over again. Unfortunately the game also runs at a max frame rate of 30fps on the xbox series x.

    Only 5 hours, that felt like boring 30 hours.
    When the game tries to shock you, the main character doesn't give a single f#ck.

    Um ótimo jogo, para atualidade em que não encontramos mais nada fora a velha receita de bolo tradicional ou uma grande enxurrada remake, por falta de criatividade atual.

    horrible game, outdated graphics outdated gameplay outdated camera, it is basically a walking simulator, no fear, no fright, no fighting and puzzles are tedious, poorly optimized game pathetic ray tracing, full of graphic errors flashing on the screen the game completely expendable , if it came out for Xbox 360 it would still be a terrible game.

    Parece un silent hill la verdad es que con la mala optimización que se dio y su "rato tracing" que es un asco lo hace horrible el juego

    This game is unique, but they could've done better. It's too boring & I have experience a lot of glitches.

    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.
