![]() The problem was mostly when I didn’t know where I could go. The dual realities make for interesting puzzles, although most of them are simple and easy. Your screen will have two different backgrounds, although neither are truly interactable so it’s not an earth shattering concept. One thing that might have tested the new hardware is the dual realities. ![]() However, it all reminded me of things from a decade old, or older, game. This game will make you sit for a few minutes at a time, not that that’s a bad thing. As technology has improved, developers have tried to implement key story moments into gameplay. Her walking and running animations are a bit stiff. Sometimes you’ll go from a room with the camera behind Marianne and then it will be to her left in the next room and your controls will get all twisted. The camera moves with you when it needs to, but is often fixed. In many ways, The Medium feels like an older game despite the new hardware it resides in. The haptic triggers are used, but don’t add anything to the experience outside of making me squeeze the left trigger a bit harder to run. Of course, the PS4’s controller could do all of those things, but they are additive features nonetheless. ![]() Audio logs are heard through the controller speaker (a touch I am quite fond of), there’s plenty of vibration, and the lights on the controller flash and change color. Running two screens at once is probably the only thing that tests the hardware, but even then, the camera is fixed, movement speed is never fast and the visuals are good, but nothing a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One couldn’t handle.ĭeveloper Bloober Team did take advantage of the DualSense 5 controller though. This mechanic was similar to Titanfall 2’s time shift, which had you going back and forth to traverse blocked sections of a collapsed building. Something that blocks you in one of the worlds will prevent you from moving in both worlds. There are moments in The Medium where you have to interact in the material world and the spirit world at the same time. The main character, Marianne, is a medium who can interact with the spirit world who finds herself in an abandoned communist resort trying to unravel its dark secrets by exploring both the physical and spirit world.
