The idea of this game is unique to me. You can control two different worlds simultaneously. That alone really made this game stand out in terms of its gameplay. The story of this game is actually quite good and I think will become better if explored deeper. It's kinda short, to be honest, and I hope there are some plot issues that were addressed. Although this is a bit like a walking simulator that explores the story of a young girl and her sister, it still shows a lot of potential in terms of the way it was presented. This is the only game where my PC suffered a lot since it is rendering two versions of the game at the same time. That's understandable though.

Character controller is terrible. A fixed camera :( I think this type of games now old.

The Medium

Wow man. this game is a breath of a fresh air. It's kinda like a Point and Click adventure mixed with Resident Evil puzzle solving. Not only this they brought new elements of their own in this game. you explore the two realms The Spirit world and The Material world. the protagonist has some kind of powers that only works in the Spirit world. The Gameplay was Great and Scary at times too. The Characters looks Real and Believable. The Story is Beautiful, Amazing and Ominous. I really enjoyed everything about this Game. A Must-play for Gamers

A 9.5/10 from me.

Recensione The Medium: due realtà ma nessuna via d'uscita

Become a medium living in two worlds: the real and the spirit one. Haunted by a vision of a child’s murder, you travel to an abandoned hotel resort, which years ago became the stage of an unthinkable tragedy. There you begin your search for difficult answers. The Medium features a “dual” soundtrack by Bloober Team’s Arkadiusz Reikowski and legendary composer Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame.
