    Juegazo de inicio a fin de esos pocos juegos que no puedes dejar de jugar hasta saber cómo va a terminar la historia, visualmente perfecto y lo mejor es que queda la puerta abierta para que esto se convierta en una saga!

    This game is beautiful and it’s the first thing I’ve seen on the series x that has blown me away. Great art style, dark atmosphere, and tension. Just play it

    great horror game, very reminiscent of old games with a mix of games nowadays the mechanics of divided worlds and very fun and interesting, but it can still be better explored, the icing on the cake, is really part of the soundtrack and plot that are incredible

    Me atrapó de principio a fin, la optimización para series s es hermosa y la banda sonora me hace recordar a los primeros Silent Hill

    Très bon jeu. Pour un AA on en a pour son argent. Je sais quoi dire d'autre, comme il faut 75 caractères, je fais du bla bla...

    Un juego bastante sobresaliente en todos los aspectos, aunque su estilo de juego no es para todos y no vayan con la idea de que estarán matando demonios. Totalmente recomendado.

    Одна з найбільш цікавих та візуально прикольних ігор, схожого на це більше ніхто не робить. Червоні оцінки від сонібоїв нічого не змінять, гра чудова.

    I played the game through with my sister and I have to say that it was an absolutely great experience. The setting is very scary and the method of saving souls and learning about the residents of the hotel at the time was incredibly immersive and sparked curiosity. Graphically awesome with facial animations that are not 100% polished. 10/10 AA game

    хорошая игра. не AAA, но хорошо для AA. приятная атмосфера. Неплохой сюжет. Ну а, звуки игре шикарны ни где лучше их нет. Из минусов только оптимизация.

    Genial! Nueva propuesta exclusiva de xbox! Un viejo sistema de juego, combinandolo con dos mundos al mismo tiempo! Muy recomendable

    A call back to Resident Evil and Silent Hills, I found it a refreshing change of pace with all the other FPS and 3PAA games of late. The nostalgia is what prompt me to score it so high, yet it maintains a modern tone with its beautiful graphics, though the motion capture could use some work on the character herself. If your not into these things like I was then the story is what is worthA call back to Resident Evil and Silent Hills, I found it a refreshing change of pace with all the other FPS and 3PAA games of late.

If your not into these things like I was then the story is what is worth staying for, as the ending was not something I expected to see, let alone in a video game! Great job to Bloober Team and a wonderful first game for me from the team. Excited for what’s to come.… Expand

    Może historia mogłaby być dłuższa plus tytuł mógłby bardziej straszyć, ale suma summarum - jest BARDZO OK! Naprawdę fajna historia i wizualnie i nowatorsko. Gram w gry nie od dziś, ale MEDIUM na pewno nie zapomnę. Jeden z lepszych tytułów które przeszedłem. W sumie historię można by kontynuować nawet w kolejnym tytule bo mam nawet niedosyt hehe :).

    uwielbiam klimat tej gry, jej historię, postaci, muzykę, to nie banalna gra, ma nowe rozwiązania i łączy je z starymi klasycznymi, całość gry jest świetna a zakończenie gry super emocjonalne. chętnie poczekam na DLC i The Medium 2 lub na nową grę od Bloober Team.

    Gran juego, cuenta con una buena narración aunque al principio estaba algo floja pero después se vuelve más interesante, además las mecánicas del juego son grandiosas y entretenidas la verdad nunca me cansaron.

    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.
