nearly unplayable on xbox one x. severe stuttering and game-breaking bugs.
thankfully I got gamepass ultimate and was able to download it on PC. runs fine there (1080p/60fps with my 1080cpu). Achievements worked as well. Finished the game in one sitting. It's short, but "good"....

Didn’t stuttering on my X.
Bugs , yeah but no problems otherwise.
Did you restart your console?

Downloaded this on PC through Gamepass and swiftly uninstalled it. The 21:9 options are broken and it is an unoptimised mess. Locking my FPS to 60 with an RTX 2080ti and an i9 9900K I was getting 90+% GPU usage and the card was up at max temps the whole time. (Will be watercooling my GPU next upgrade for sure).

A quick look at steam reviews shows these types of issues are common. I will keep an eye out for a patch in future, as I do like the devs prior work.

Yeah I'm playing on Xbox One X too and the amount of bugs is astounding! Do they not QA test their games!? Also frame rate?! LOL

 

[Bandi]

I wanna play it. I will waiting in ps4 or switch. Never listen the reviews but seems to be a good game

why? its on gamepass right now. lol

Hahaha Thank you. But I dont have Xbox One. I prefer to wait.

 

[Inuteu]

its just me or this game sucks bad?

Seems pretty solid and it's on Game Pass (which I subscribe to) so I'll definitely be checking it out. I've been in the mood for a good spooky game and it was either this or Man of Medan which seems to be getting worse reviews, is shorter, and isn't on Game Pass.

I wonder if this will be MS' strategy going into next-gen.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks like the game needed a few more months of polishing, I don't remember Bloober's previous games having such big problems. Maybe MS was stubborn on wanting to release the game without any delays?

Anyway I hope MS gave them a good deal, their stocks have taken a big hit after the game's release.

Nah, I think it's kind of rubbish too. Had potential but the end result is still poor.

 

[dilbag]

its not terrible but after a while it get annoying walking around the forest with nothing happening and you end up just wondering trying to find where to go.

Girl Reviews gave it a 7.0, I have to agree. I thought it was enjoyable but a missed opportunity.

not matter 7 is actually a good score.

Played it mostly to see what the guys behind The Medium are capable of. It's not great, but I enjoyed the experience and while the criticism that you are never really in peril is a legit one, there are few scenes that are truly creepy. Later parts of the game rely heavily on hallucinations, visions where you as a player get instantly transported from one location to another and it works really well on xbox one x, but I can totally see how SSD can let the developers go even further with that.

Is this worth 8eu? I wasn't a fan of Layers of Fear and won't touch its sequel with a barge pole but for 8eu and about five to six hours of play time... what can go wrong?

It's not. It's really not.

It's not. It's really not.

I posted this in the wrong thread I just realized (maybe a mod can move our posts to the OT?) but could you elaborate a bit more why it's not even worth that? No redeeming qualities whatsoever? Even for someone who's a huge fan of the original film?

I think this thread is fine honestly.

Even though it's based off the film franchise I struggle to find any real connection. Now I will admit I only saw each film one time so it's very possible I am just not as adept in the lore.

Most of this is a walking simulator with some puzzles that aren't very challenging and a lot of the mechanics like the dog feel very half baked.

The only redeeming part is about a 30 minute section near the end with some very clever puzzles.
