None of the game's puzzles are obtuse or really challenging at all, which may be disappointing to some, but the benefit of that is that the game maintains a brisk pace and players should never get stuck to the point of frustration.īloober Team has created a haunting world in The Medium that is, oddly enough, a joy to explore. The Medium's puzzles take direct inspiration from classic survival-horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, often revolving around collecting objects and figuring out where to use them in order to proceed. When players aren't hiding from The Maw, they will be exploring The Medium's game world, looking for clues and solving puzzles. Many horror games have a tendency to make stealth sections frustrating or overwhelming, but they're used sparingly enough in The Medium that they are actually a welcome change of pace to the usual gameplay and should sufficiently keep players on their toes.

To survive The Maw, Marianne has to sneak around the environment, strategically holding her breath at the right times to avoid being caught. It's a towering monstrosity with demonic wings that pursues Marianne relentlessly whenever it finds her in the spirit world. The Maw is the main antagonist of The Medium, voiced by Troy Baker.
