![]() As such, the Niwa resort is the epitome of brutalist architecture, cold and vast, the perfect setting to keep you uneasy: you’re certainly not welcome here. The Medium sees Bloober Team leaning into its Polish history, with the game set in post-communist Poland – a thread that runs throughout the heart of the game’s narrative. Price? Free on Xbox Game Pass or around £40/$50 (not available in AU).What can I play it on? Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.What is it? A psychological horror game from the makers of Layers of Fear.And while there are some pacing issues in the latter part of the game, and the story can be at times hard to keep up with, it proves that Boober Team has the perfect formula for scaring the sh** out of us. The Medium brings classic fixed-camera horror to the modern day, which we’ve seen with the likes of Until Dawn, but makes sure to add its own touch through the ‘split’ feature that sees Marianne moving between both the ‘real’ world and the spirit world, adding a new dimension to the puzzle elements we’ve seen in similar titles such as the early entries in the Resident Evil series. While performance felt largely the same as the Xbox Series X version, we did notice that PS5 loads textures for items a touch quicker overall. Haptic feedback is also implemented to make the game's more tense moments feel even more unnerving. It includes some platform-specific features, as the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers are used effectively to represent the spiritual energy coursing through Marianne's body. ![]() The Medium is now available on PlayStation 5 and was released on September 3, 2021.
