The Medium

I'm very torn on this game. As a fan of horror and thriller media, I feel that many people will appreciate what this game brings to them. The visuals are disturbing, unique, and beautiful. The story has some basic horror tropes and jump scares that don't feel earned BUT there are a lot of time this game gave me goosebumps that hurt and played with my head very beautiful. The story is unique and brings a story we haven't seen before.

The split screen is a new concept that is really cool in parts and then very annoying in other parts. The biggest downfall of this game is the camera. The camera has fixed angles to make the game look more cinematic and while it does, there are many times where I died due to camera angles and didn't know where I was able to and not able to go because of the camera. It's frustrating but it didn't make me want to turn off the game. Overall, this is a game you need to try. It's not groundbreaking and has plenty of problems but it is an experience worth diving into.
