Well honestly this game had a very good potential but considering how amateur was Bloober Team back then, Im not complaining about some weak points of the game and bad performance specially on DX12 version. i just want to say that after Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos, they are cooking so good that every new title by this studio is highly recommended. Now Bloober has become the king of level design that it just wont let you leave the game and they are making low budget games look like a AAA title just like Cronos. i love you Bloober Team and i hope you guys continue making amazing remakes and original games....

You know how most horror games try to scare you with monsters and jump scares? The Medium does something completely different. At first it looks like a typical supernatural horror game: abandoned buildings, ghosts, creepy atmosphere. But the deeper you get into the story, the more you realize the real horror isn't the monsters. It's the people. The game slowly uncovers the story of a young girl named Lily, and honestly, she became one of the most heartbreaking characters I've ever seen in a video game. The more pieces of her life you discover, the more you understand why everything around her fell apart. What really got me is that the game isn't interested in cheap jump scares. It's about trauma, loneliness, guilt, love, and the terrible things that can happen when someone is left alone with their pain. I went in expecting horror. I ended up feeling sorry for the monster. If you like emotional stories that stay in your head long after the credits roll, I genuinely think you should give it a chance.
I liked the story, but the problem is that it gets interesting so late that I had to suffer through a mediocre, boring gameplay just for the sake of the theme. The gameplay also improves after a long time (though it’s still not good) and even the final stage isn’t that strong. I really liked the later chapters, and I can specifically say that it started to get interesting after the character switched to a certain person. I still think the split-screen, two-world concept is a really interesting mechanic, and it could have blended really well with a horror genre. But in this case, it felt like they only had the idea without properly executing it. The puzzles aren’t unique, and they’re not even interesting. You can basically turn off your brain and still solve them without any problem. The horror element is there, but it doesn’t create any real tension. The only scary moment was a small jump scare at the beginning, and I wouldn’t count that as a success. I still recommend the game, because if it were truly bad, I wouldn’t have taken the time to write this review. I do think it’s worth playing, but I’m disappointed because I can see its true potential.
I became a huge fan of Bloober team after playing the Silent Hill 2 remake, and their most recent game Cronos: the new dawn and decided to give The Medium a shot. Overall probably the weakest in terms of gameplay to their other titles, but I overall enjoyed the unique puzzle mechanic to this game. What really is making me recommend this is bloober's knack for storytelling and world building. There are some truly gifted creatives at bloober that crafted the story and worlds of The Medium and Cronos. The medium has very well delivered structure to its mystery that actually allows you to put the pieces together giving you a healthy stream of crucial information to draw your own conclusions during the process rather than all the answers coming to light all at once. There are some small blemishes during some small segments of the gameplay, but nothing that frustrated me enough to stop playing. Overall highly recommend it if you enjoy bloobers other works.
