Holly Green writes "A good horror game can make rifling through old postcards and personal letters a compelling experience. But The Medium seems entitled, in that it expects me to be titillated by its character design and atmosphere but won’t give me enough context to actually care about them. Between that and its tired puzzle-based progression barriers and dull character powers, The Medium fails to justify its existence."

Bloober Team has announced that it will turning its psychological horror game The Medium into a TV show, though no details were provided.
I wonder if the TV will lean heavily on that same split-screen mechanic. Not sure if it would work, but it would definitely be interesting.
For the first time ever I feel like a tv show could be infinitely better than the game. Man that game was a dumpster fire of boredom.
I do think there's nice untapped potential for a Tv show with a six-sense vibe.
Call me crazy but I'm one of the few who did enjoy the plot of the game and finished it.
Was it perfect hell no but nice and refreshing hell yeah.
Hmm. That actually makes a lot of sense. I could see the dual reality split screen being used in some scenes. That would provide some pretty incredible visuals that we don't normally get in films or tv shows.

If you're looking to pick up new games this weekend, this is your chance to get them with up to 75% off!"
$30 for Crusader Kings 3 for the PS5 is a great deal. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
While the game is clearly polarizing, I find the comment about "tired puzzle-based progression" a bit strange. It's a staple of the genre. Knocking a horror-adventure typed game for having puzzles is almost like docking points for all the shooting going on in an FPS.
I'm personally not sure what to make of the game yet. Reviews are all over the place, so - as usual - I'll be making my own judgement. Thankfully I can check it out at launch due to the $1 Game Pass deal. Dunno when I'd have tried it out if not for that, but looking forward to giving it a look when it unlocks tomorrow. And seeing how it runs on my PC, as DF has only covered the console version thus far.
