Interessanter Splitscreen-Einsatz, Teils spannende Story, Detaillierte und verstörende Spielwelt(en), Klasse Sounddesign und englische Synchronisation, Dichte Atmosphäre
Grafisch nicht immer auf der Höhe, Rätsel sind auf Dauer redundant und zu einfach, Absolut anspruchsloses Gameplay, Orientierungsprobleme aufgrund fester Kamera, Bisweilen nervige Action- und Schleicheinlagen, Keine deutsche Sprachausgabe
Bloober Team geht mit "The Medium" einen interessanten und zugleich gewagten Weg. Der Psycho-Horror in Kombination mit einer richtig tollen Atmosphäre, ansehnlicher Grafik und teils spannender Geschichte überzeugt. Auch ist der Ansatz des "Dual-Reality-Ga...

Alex Ney@AlexNey18Nicht schlecht, Herr Specht! Mit Bloober Teams recht Jumpscare-lastigen Vorgängerwerken konnte ich so gar nichts anfangen, The Medium dagegen hat mich gleich gepackt. Aber das liegt weniger an der hoch angepriesenen Splitscreen-Mechanik...

Abstract: Since its debut title Layers of Fear released in 2015, Polish developer Bloober Team has created an impressive run of spooky commercial hits, including the Cyberpunk detective horror Observer, and the well-received Blair Witch game from a couple of years...
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
