Hunting games are one of the best-selling categories for players of all ages.
#THE MEDIUM PS4 PS4#
Many could say it’s because the medium offers “escapism.” For example, you can chase wild animals without risking anything by playing the best hunting games for PS4 and PS5. It doesn’t beat playing in VR though! The best uses come when you are using your psychic abilities.Gaming is a popular form of entertainment. It’s amazing how even a little dose of controller feedback can make the game feel so much more immersive. The game makes use of DualSense feedback. You will find yourself course-correcting quite often. The downside to this approach is a constant sense of disorientation when you leave one view and progress to the next. The Medium uses the fixed multiple camera views of the early Resident Evil and Silent Hill games to create tension and a claustrophobic ambience. This character adds a much-needed dose of action and tension into what is basically a quest game. Since there is no combat in the game, you play cat and mouse with him, first in the spirit world and then later in the real world. Troy Baker provides the voice work and he is very effective. The other character is the antagonist known simply as The Maw. Her look invokes empathy and pity, which if further heightened by the expert voice work by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.
#THE MEDIUM PS4 SKIN#
Sadness exists in the mirror world only and is a one-armed girl with a wooden mask for a face and skin not entirely covering all her joints.
One of them, called Sadness, you meet early in the hotel. It is good then that two of them are standouts. It would have been more striking if the color contrast between the two worlds had differed more.īesides Marianne, there are only a few other characters. Disappointingly, this holds true of the real world as well. Naturally, the color palette of the mirror world is very drab. Biological growths infest the mirror world and oft times look like tumorous skin mated with bizarre spider web support structures. The same holds true for the look of the straight razor. Haunted and Haunting ArtĮven though the look of the mirror world is based on the paintings of Polish artist, Zidizslaw Beksinski, they come across as very Gigeresque. It’s the closest implementation of a single player in coop mode you’ll ever find. So a multi-step puzzle will have you flipping back and forth between the worlds to solve them. You enter split-screen mode when puzzles require manipulation in both worlds. You can flip between the worlds with a button press. Sometimes the game breaks out into split-screen mode where you control Marianne in both worlds. The end result is a rather schizophrenic personality. I have to assume this resulted from trying to portray the character through the lenses of the two different worlds. Sometimes the character is all dour and self-deprecating, while other times she is peppy and bubbly. Actor Kelly Burke voices the character and does yeoman work here, given the somewhat muddled presentation of Marianne. While in the spirit world, she takes on an ethereal presence with white hair and grayish attire.
She is all dark from head to toe: black hair, leather jacket, jeans, and boots. In the real world, Marianne adopts a Chuck Norris, Good Guys Wear Black style. Often, an action on one side is used to overcome a barrier or puzzle in its mirror counterpart. It is this interaction that Bloober Team uses for the more unique gameplay aspects.
Actions taken in one world often affect the other side, either directly or indirectly. Marianne can traverse two worlds, the one we know as real and the other is the spirit. This journey of discovery drives the game. She is driven to discover how she possesses her spiritual powers, a mystery that is tied into the discarded carcass of the Niwa Hotel. The focus of the game is Marianne, you guessed it, a medium.
