Специалисты из команды Digital Foundry протестировали хоррор The Medium в версиях для консолей нового поколения Xbox Series X и Xbox Series S. Они похвалили работу художников студии Blooper Team и атмосферу приключения, но отметили, что разработчикам пришлось идти на компромиссы в разных вопросах.
Польская студия Bloober Team с каждым новым проектом поднимает планку качества, грамотно учитывая свои прошлые ошибки и используя удачные наработки в попытках создать как можно более интересный и разноплановый проект. The Medium максимально приблизился к этой цели, хоть и обладает рядом заметных недостатков.
Bloober Team's new horror game The Medium is just a single, short day away from launch. Ahead of its arrival tomorrow, the critics' reviews have now started pouring in, giving us an idea of whether the eerie trip to an abandoned communist resort is worth your hard-earned pennies. Let's take a look at those scores, shall we?
Write-ups so far put The Medium on the mid- to higher end of the scale, with the psychological horror fest sat at 73 on both the Metacritic and Opencritic aggregate sites, as of writing. However, the range of scores varies quite a bit, with some sitting a fair bit higher and lower on the scale than this point in their conclusions, as you can see below.
In PCGamesN's The Medium review, our very own Jordan Forward scores the title a six-out-of-ten, concluding that "Bloober Team does well to keep things taut all the way to the end, but there's a frustrating amount of untapped potential beneath its gameplay gimmicks and art direction".
