92%The Medium review: "Hard to see this mildly spooky adventure as anything other than a misstep"
The Medium tries to do a lot but never really seems to stop and see if any of it's working.
50%The Medium PS5 review
The Medium on PS5 is as good as it was on Xbox Series X, however, with DualSense support it becomes a much more immersive game.
