It's not great. There are worse games, but unless you are just strapped for cash and playing on GamePass, the game probably isn't worth your time.Somewhat related bump. Didn't want to create a new thread but also wanted to see what others think about the game.
Is The Medium really as bad as I think it is? I'm not far in it, haven't touched it in a few weeks but holy shit, I played the few 2 hours or so and I'm just not feeling it whatsoever. It's my first Bloober team game and I'm honestly bummed, I've been meaning to try something by them for years because of their relation to Nibris. The vaporware company behind Sadness for the Wii.
The graphics are fine but certainly not impressive. The dual screen mechanic just makes me laugh. Especially during scenes in which your character just kind of stands there while everything else is happening on the opposite side. It just seems like it's unique in that it's not effective and a dumb idea to base a game around. The dual sense implementation is trash, easily the worst I've experienced so far. Even the rumble just seems like everything is firing on all cylinders, no nuance to it.
The jump scares have been effective but they're jump scares, it's a cheap/lazy way to get a reaction but kudos to them for making them effective.
Does the game get better? I haven't even come across the antagonist yet. I'm still exploring some abandoned resort.
It's not terrible, but there are so many better games available to spend your time on, it's difficult to recommend.
