Spoiler lmfao! there are definitely some illogical, old school tropes. like....not being able to break windows to enter an area, but you need a key to enter lol. still, it's all about the atmosphere for me, and i love using the portals.

Yeah I just hope they don't overload the game with those type of sequences later on. Im enjoying everything else about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 GD at some point you should also give Daymare a try if you're looking for a worthwhile horror game. It feels like something from 2 gens ago but in a good way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,636 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Update seemed to have helped performance. Im back to 60fps with RT on and dlss on even in the split sections. But they are behave different. You guys seem like you are a bit further than i am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,585 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Few hours in. It's a decent but fairly basic game. The two screen gimmick is just that, a gimmick. It isn't used in any really cool way. Mostpuzzles are basic RE style, get X item and put in X slot and there isn't like an array of items to pick up so it's always 'oh 1 door is locked, find the 1 key in a nearby area' type of thing and sometimes that 'area' is in the other world. I didn't have any issues with the chase scene yous have mentioned. Died once cause the camera orientation threw me off but then next run was clean. Again though, it's literally archaic gameplay of a chase scene. I'm very happy the stealth sections are short and fairly easy cause they are my least fav part of the game so far. I like the setting, the atmosphere is decent and Im intrigued enough by the plot to finish it but atm is like a 6.5-7.0. I also have a little bit of performance issues on the XSX. This weird graphical glitch in some cinematics and noticeable frame rate dips in certain areas. Before starting this I had finished SOMA, which is superb. I have a feeling playing Medium straight after SOMA is why i'm not loving it as much as I wanted to. SOMA is just better in basically every way. Much better puzzles, exploration, mystery, story, tension, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The atmosphere and the moments with apparitions flashing by and lights flicking, doors opening and so on was so cool. So much spookier then what it has become since imo.

jehurey 3,238 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 So, does it have actual good puzzles? Like good puzzles, based on horror-game standards? Or good puzzles, based on puzzle-game standards? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The 2 screens stuff is cool but they don't really make the most of it when it comes to puzzle design. The gameplay in general is probably the weakest aspect but everything else is pretty good. Its about a 8.0 for me so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 'coolest' thing I've done so far is turn a clock dial which advanced time in the spirit world which opened a passage for my spirit self to walk in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Of the last horror games i've played, heres how I would rank them in terms of puzzle design 1. Amnesia Rebirth 2. Daymare 3. The Medium 4. Resident Evil 3 remake Maybe this will give some people something to go by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It reminds me of hellblade, where it’s more about the narrative and atmosphere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
