Spooky, Not Scary

AT A GLANCE

DEVELOPER Bloober Team

PUBLISHER Bloober Team SA

GENRE Horror, Thriller, Psychological

PLATFORM PC, Xbox Series X/S

PLAYERS Single

Yes, the one guy at HardwareZone with zero appetite for horror games willingly signed up to review Bloober Team’s newest psychological horror title The Medium.

I think my brain blew a fuse or something when I said “ok”, and I will admit I was intrigued by the developers’ use of the whole “dual-reality” angle.

Fortunately, the game wasn’t as scary as I imagined it to be. I’m happy to inform you that this game doesn’t have jump scares, and to top that off, features a pretty decent narrative to boot.

In The Medium, you’ll step into the shoes of a young lady named Marianne, who is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to perceive spiritual entities and enter their world.
