Critic Reviews
The Medium Review – Medium Quality
The Medium is a decent horror game that has some really good ideas, but ultimately fails to live up to its potential.
70%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.
90%The Medium review
The Medium is without a doubt Bloober Team's biggest game to date, and it is easily one of its best. The story is captivating as are its characters, and the uneasy journey you take through it feels much like if Stranger Things was set in the Alan Wake universe.
