![]() Baker's voice here is almost unrecognisable, and he does a great job of evoking fear with his many taunts, as you're desperately trying to hold onto your breath to ensure that you are not spotted.Ī common issue that I've experienced in horror games is that puzzles often feel shoehorned to provide a moment's respite from the intense scares. Troy Baker as the game's main antagonist The Maw especially knocks it out of the park here with his performance. Something that really kept me invested was the quality of the voice talent as everything right down to the most intricate details (for example, gathering a collectible) are voiced to an excellent standard. With the game being reliant on story, I don't want to give too much away within this review, but I have to say that this is one of the most gripping narratives I've experienced in a horror game. Who was this mysterious man? How did he know Marianne? And why is she the only one to have these powers? This setup had me gripped from the start as it presented so many questions. Desperate for answers, Marianne sets out to find his mysterious man and heads out to the location of a dilapidated old communist resort to try and locate him. Following this, Marianne receives a phone call from a stranger called Thomas, who claims that he can give her the answers for her unique powers. ![]() We're introduced to her as she is being put through the painful ordeal of helping her foster father pass on into the realm of the spirit world. ![]() The Medium sees you step into the shoes of Marianne, a young woman, who has been gifted (or cursed) with being able to experience both the world of the living and the dead. Although Bloober has produced some great psychological horrors over the years, The Medium is easily its most hotly-anticipated, as it been built from the ground up for the Xbox Series and has some major names attached such as Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and veteran voice actor Troy Baker. The Medium was first dreamed up in 2012 with the idea of being able to explore two realities simultaneously. Before Bloober Team scared our socks off with its tale of a painter's descent into madness Layers of Fear, it had actually been busy laying the groundwork for another psychological horror, one that had to be put on the backburner due to its ambitious scope.
