The Medium review

In terms of entertainment properties, single-player horror adventure game The Medium (I hesitate to use the term "psychological horror") is unfortunately competing in the search rankings with Medium, a mid-00's police procedural TV show where the "police" is actually a woman played by Patricia Arquette who talks to ghosts.

I would not bring this up, except the extremely breathy deadpanism of Arquette's very-sincere-while-saying-outlandish-things delivery did remind me of the performances in The Medium. And honestly, The Medium comes out on top here, both in terms of its performances and its story coherence and general originality. But it's also about exactly as horrific.

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.

Консольный эксклюзив Xbox Series X|S с отличным сюжетом: Обзор The Medium

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.

The Medium reviews - our roundup of the critics' scores

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".
