Critic Reviews
The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Review – Abandon Ship
The Dark Pictures Anthology is unfortunately off to a disappointing start. While Man of Medan can provide some genuine scares during a few segments, the rest of the brief story is held back by unlikable characters, questionable performances, and a few too many technical issues that can take you right out of the moment. The shared story online cooperative mode is enjoyable, but a weak story and incredibly slow first act make Man of Medan a game to skip if you’re planning on playing alone. Despite it’s shortcomings, the game is still somewhat entertaining, and I’m hoping Supermassive will knock the next entry of this spooky anthology out of the park.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan offers up fun frights and a solid choice-based horror experience - especially when played with others on the same couch.

Although it doesn’t quite hit the heights set by its inspirator Until Dawn, Man of Medan is a positive debut for the Dark Pictures Anthology thanks to an excellent narrative.
