The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan Reviews

It's a great story where your decisions make the story. It's taking some time to build-up, but once you're on track you just keep playing. Some decisions are a bit vague and small actions may lead to your characters death. For me this adds up to the replayability. After my first playtroug, I also played around with messing up certain parts to discover other endings. The only negative thing I can say that the animations can be a bit snappy from time to time. Sometimes it just glitches , sometimes it skips to the end of an animation when making a decision. This makes action scenes and conversations a bit more awkward. One single story is +- 4-5 hours, not bad at all. I would recommend to to anyone who likes horror or decision making games.

Some of the possible endings are really unsatisfying, the endings in general feel a bit rushed and its sometimes not clear how to change later events just from replaying a chapter but otherwise its a very fun game on the first playthrough.

Good story with many different endings. Plan to come back and get all the different endings after playing the series!

I got the four game pack on the Steam winter sale and it was honestly one of the best gaming investments ever. Even tho this was the first to be released, it's the third one in the series that I am playing and I am loving it every bit as much as the others. I absolutely adore the curator and the opening theme song is a banger! Wonderful series!

The Dark Pictures Anthology overall is super good, but I especially loved this story! I played Little Hope with my brothers a while back and loved that too. The story of Man of Medan is so well thought out, and the playstyle is fun! I would recommend to anyone who likes horror and puzzles. It IS a gory game, but it's tasteful.

You can tell this was the first game in the series, and at times it feels a bit rough around the edges. However, it still stands as a solid experience well worth playing. I highly recommend it. As is typical for the genre, you don’t expect the story to be groundbreaking, but it still manages to surprise in places. That said, the main plot twist is fairly easy to predict. Still, the journey is engaging enough to keep you hooked.

Good game overall! The ending didn't really unraveled the way I expected, It could have been better but it is still an enjoyable game!

The Dark Pictures Anthology are a walking sim movie experience rather than a Game, and those are only as good as its story. Man of Medan is a really strong entry with an interesting twist. All the characters are enjoyable and smart compared to other horror titles. Going back and getting the achievements in these titles are really painful though. After the 3rd or forth playthrough, I'm not sure I want to fully 100%

This game is really good, the graphics are amazing. Playing this as a duo helps enchant the enjoyment! 100% Trying to get all of the achievement.

Has a good setup but once they get to the naval base this game drags and just kind of stumbles until it's over. Yes there are a lot of different endings and choices but for me at least the characters and story make even the short 4ish hour runtime a chore to play through as the characters have NO chemistry and are not very well performed either. (Can't really blame the actors too much though I think it's much more so on the writing and direction)
