A gorgeous, soviet-era world to explore that's drenched in atmosphere, The split-reality mechanic is a bold and innovative approach to horror, Marianne is a strong and sympathetic heroine, Haunting sountrack propels the scares further,
Different realities are never explored to their full potential, Narrative is muddled and fails to execute on its themes, Tries and fails to imitate many survival horror classics,
The Medium is an enjoyable survival horror that's held back by a lacklustre narrative and a signature mechanic that never reaches its full potential.Even with Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka's score ringing across its twisted soviet world, Bloober Team...
Gripping story with plenty of twists, Fixed camera gives retro horror vibes, Doesn't rely on jumpscares, Score elevates atmosphere, Terrifying and unique adversary
Can be hard to keep track of story, Loses pacing near the end, May be too linear for some

Abstract: A few years ago, Polish developer Bloober Team hit the scene in a big way with Layers of Fear, their horror/painting simulator from 2016. To be perfectly honest, I never saw the appeal of that one. It always just felt like a lot of jumpscares and shockin...

Intriguing setting and great visuals, Emotionally involving story, Fixed camera and puzzles evoke classic horror games
