(Fun trivia: the apartment is the same one used in Blooper Team’s cyberpunk first person adventure Observer.) The old man has passed away, and growing up in the family business means Marianne is comfortable living in a building where the basement has her mentor on a cold metallic slab. This means a stunning but cramped feeling of being watched yet also being utterly alone in an apartment that houses Marianne, a hungry cat (feed it for an achievement!), and not much else. Exploration is key here as Blooper Team gets players used to playing with a fixed camera for the first time ages. Opening in a quiet but tense funeral parlor, Marianne’s only goal is to prep her late adoptive father for service. Unease and a good mystery await, so hit X to enter The Further, The Upside Down, or wherever our hero Marianne (voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) goes that has serious creepy rusted Silent Hill vibes. Could this have been ported to lower-powered consoles? Maybe, but that’s a question the Polish developer seemed wise not to answer considering CD Project Red’s not-so-great launch of that cyberpunky game starring Keanu Reeves last month.
#THE MEDIUM GAME REVIEW PC#
The only downside is that it is only for Series X/S and PC (Meaning no Playstation or last-gen Xbox versions). Why? Well, beyond being a solid scare-fest, it’s also free if you own GamePass for your Xbox Series X/S or PC.
Fans of Resident Evil would be as silly as not using ink ribbons on Hardcore mode to not take this journey to a new place, with a new character, and best of all, a new way to play while they wait for the release of Resident Evil: Village in May.
The survival horror genre receives a welcome new potential franchise with Blooper Team’s old school fixed camera third-person tale, The Medium.
