Don’t go into The Medium expecting a ton of scares. The latest game from Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team is creepy, sure, but as you’ll find out in this The Medium review, the hook isn’t how frightened you’ll be while playing. The Medium’s selling point is its rather inventive dual reality system. The Medium gameplay in this video, as well as the conversation between Colm and Rock Paper Shotgun’s deputy editor Alice Bell, will explain how it all works!

The Medium PC gameplay in this video shows how the dual reality split screen is more than just a cheap gimmick. You have to switch between the world of the living and the world of the dead in order to make your way around this dilapidated building, solving some puzzles and chatting to some spirits along the way. It’s Alice’s favourite thing in The Medium, but if you want to know what she thought of everything else in the game, be sure to have a read of her written The Medium review on RockPaperShotgun.com (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-medium-review/)
My Favourite Thing In… is a video series where Colm chats to one of the lovely RPS writers about their absolute favourite thing in a spang new video game they’ve been playing. In some cases, the writer will have to think long and hard about their choice, because the game they’ve been playing mightn’t be that great, while better games will have multiple things for them to pick.

Looks intriguing with the dinky environment. I will keep my expectations in check though. Amazing video as always.
This is a cool concept, emphasizing the positives the way we typically see negatives emphasized.

It's been so long since I last heard Alice's voice that I was thrown back to the old days of the videogamer uk podcast for a second.
I've been intrigued by this game for a while now, might have to give it a go
Seems very interesting, I really can't be arsed with stealth hiding from the big bad monster sections though.
