This made the game quickly fall into the pit of being an almost-walking-sim. While there were some good stuff here and there, it is mostly very linear and clear what should be done next. (b) The puzzles were usually not that challenging, very straightforward. Yeah, some chase \ sneaking sequences which were mildly intense and added to the cinematic value of the game, and the story, but this really wasn't enough to be even considered a major part of the game. (a) There isn't really anything else besides that. What was weaker, in my opinion, is that. While I'm not sure everyone would find this as compelling as I did, for me this was the main attraction of the game and I found the idea VERY original and fun, I was not disappointed. Some of the time, as the devs very well advertised, you're going to play on a split screen mode where your character would traverse both the "real" world and the "dead" world. The game mainly consists of you exporing areas, and solving puzzles to progress.
The gameplay was good in general but unfortunately not without drawbacks. While I won't spoil the story, I thought it was also quite strong and just enough weird, bizzarre, mysterious, revealing itself in a great pace and it really kept me intrigued through the game.
The Alternative World also looks awesome and really serves the whole alternative realities idea quite well.Īlso, it was pretty great hearing Akira Yamaoka's touches again & get another work with Mary McGlynn again! There's a great balance of light and darkness. The graphics, ambience, sounds & music really capture that vibe of an eerie, maybe hunted town. This game really made me miss Silent Hill (mostly in a good way) and I'll go play one afterwards, in fact :) Personally I thought that in that aspect, they actually did a pretty damn good job. No doubt that The Medium devs really tried to ride on the whole "Silent Hill vibes" as a center of attraction. +/- Story contains some complicated matters, such as abuse. +/- Gameplay mainly consists of puzzles (not too challenging) and some very few chase sequences (not too challenging).

+/- Not really challenging, and at some points it really turns into more of a walking simulator (unfortunately?) + The alternative world gimmick works great and stays intriguing to the end While The Medium sure has its flaws, and I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone, I personally think this game is awesome and have enjoyed it a lot.
