The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan Reviews

I have previously played Until Dawn and The Quarry and thought this game was going to be the same amount of scary; it WASN'T! This game scared the shit out of us, and we loved it! Unfortunately, RIP Brad, we thought you were a satanic ritual master.. We'll try again! Would recommend for a quicker horror game to play, you might not get to know the characters as much but it's great scary fun for a game night. 10 out of 10 if you love rats <3

Was a pretty cool game until I missed one quick time event which unalived a character. It auto saves after every segment like that so you can not try again without restarting the entire game. Ruined the whole thing for me really. If there was a manual save I'd say okay.

The interactive thriller Man of Medan, which opens the anthology The Dark Pictures, is more like a short horror film than a full-fledged game. The story takes only a few hours to play through and resembles a classic plot, where a group of friends go on vacation and find themselves at the center of terrifying events. The atmosphere is generally consistent, but there are few truly frightening moments — as a horror game, it may seem insufficiently tense. One of the main advantages of the game is the extensive choice system that affects the events and fates of the characters. Every decision, even one that seems insignificant at first glance, can have fatal consequences — any of the five main characters can die, which makes the gameplay tense. At critical moments, you need to react quickly, press the right keys, or make decisions without hesitation. However, this game is still far from the level of Quantic Dream games — both in terms of emotional depth and overall narrative quality. The characters are less developed, the dramatic moments do not always evoke strong emotions, and some plot twists seem somewhat predictable. It feels like the main emphasis is on the atmosphere and the choice system, while the story lacks psychological complexity and emotional tension.

erm... tried playing this dumpster fire with my girlfriend, we had no clue wtf was going on, cutscene's would skip, QTE's would fail for no reason, the friend pass doesn't work and we somehow completed the game in 3 hours? Jheez what a MESS. We were trying to fix a generator, the game skipped and then we were sailing off in the sunset??? Total waste of time.

After Until Dawn, I was expecting more. The story was just ok and I thought the ending was anti-climatic. Too short of a story and too little exploration makes the game fall short on my list.

Really enjoyed this one. The story was cool and had a solid mystery behind it, and the visuals and atmosphere were top-tier. Gameplay felt smooth and responsive for this kind of cinematic experience. The pacing dipped a little here and there, but overall, it kept me engaged. Super fun ride with a creepy vibe done right.

Kind of had an abrupt ending- but I’d prefer short and sweet to long and drawn out. Probably my least favorite of the Supermassive games I’ve played- but still very fun.

i loved this game. the game mechanics are pretty good. its exactly like until dawn. 100% recommend this game for people that enjoy story/decision based games.

I got this game from the summer sale and it did not disappoint. I like the co-op system it had in the game and the jump scares were pretty nice. Overall a pretty good game for playing with a friend.

Still a good game 6/10 but it does not compare to any of the other games. You find out the main twist really early on and then it makes the story not engaging or scary any more. Would recommend checking out their other games before this one.
