The Medium

Brilliantly paced and palpably tense, The Medium is a psychological horror adventure that's all thriller and no filler.

The Medium is a terrifying but compelling exploration of duality that uses the horror of personal trauma to craft a memorable tale.

Bloober Team goes back to the classics for possibly its best effort yet.

A third-person horror game that's elevated by some of the sharpest writing and acting in the genre.

The Medium starts off personal and poignant, but ends in cliché

The Medium tries to do a lot but never really seems to stop and see if any of it's working.

This is a horror game with more tedium than tension

Bloober Team's beautiful-looking exploration of intergenerational trauma is ripe ground for innovative storytelling, but fumbles its big themes

The Medium is uninspired, from puzzles to characters. If you’re looking for an interesting world to explore, it delivers with stunning art direction, but for those looking for a richer experience, The Medium feels skin deep.

The Medium won't give you any sleepless nights, but treat it as a paranormal thriller rather than an all-out horror game and you'll find an interesting story (albeit a disturbing one at times) that will encourage you to push through its slightly repetitive split-screen gimmick to find out how it all ends. A short but intriguing tale.
