The Medium REVIEW: 6 Ups & 4 Downs

By Scott Tailford / January 27, 2021

4. The Mid-Point Tone Shift *NO Spoilers*

This will be a shorter point as I'll not spoil what happens halfway through the story, but let's say the game you're buying into - the story being shown in trailers and whatever expectations you have from an old-school survival horror - are excellently up-ended by a notably shift in tone and narrative.

I'm curious to see what the consensus becomes on how this all plays out, as story and thematic elements are introduced that may be divisive - or divisively handled - to some, yet I champion the marketing strategy Bloober went with.

Personally I think the back half of the game benefits from having its scope notably widened, but the jury's out on how this will all go down across the wider discourse.
