The Medium launched earlier this year on Xbox Series X and PC as a Microsoft exclusive before making its way to Sony’s new console. Our resident doctor of horror scored it an impressive 8/10 in our review.
The Medium is a really good horror adventure with some stand out ideas and excellent presentation. It makes the most of its influences to create an atmospheric and involving narrative, but its wider context as a next-gen exclusive may lead many to expect it to be a grander step forward than it is. Taken on its own merits, and particularly for genre fans, this is a genuinely great game and I look forward to replaying it to take in all the amazing details and touches that I may have missed first time through. With some questions left unanswered, I hope it does well and develops into a franchise.
Over the past several years, Bloober Team have grown to become a standout name in the horror genre thanks to hits such as Layers of Fear and The Blair Witch. Earlier this year, it was confirmed the studio is working with Konami on a Silent Hill project.
