The Medium Review: Well-Done
The Medium is a terrifying but compelling exploration of duality that uses the horror of personal trauma to craft a memorable tale.

Third-person horror with fixed camera angles still has lots of life in it. (And death.)

The Medium Review - IGN
Brilliantly paced and palpably tense, The Medium is a psychological horror adventure that’s all thriller and no filler.

The Medium is a big deal, the first new Microsoft-published Xbox Series console exclusive of 2021 (and 2020 for that matter) and an evolution of a Bloober Team concept that first appeared with 2016’s Layers of Fear.

The Medium Review: What's Past is Prologue
The Medium is less survival-horror and more adventure-horror like the studio's past games, but so long as Bloober Team is still refining this style, the team is clearly getting better.

The Medium is an enjoyable survival horror held back by a boring narrative and a signature mechanic that never reaches its full potential.

Despite its technical prowess and stunning visuals, The Medium is a drag. From slow, uninteresting gameplay to a confusing and poorly executed story, Bloober Team's latest makes for a good tech demo, but not much else.
