It's very safe to say that the competition within the horror genre is increasing. The quality of gameplay, the calibre of puzzles and the jumpscares are all getting increasingly better and The Medium absolutely did not disappoint. The Medium is now my second experience of a game developed and published by Bloober Team and yet again, they did not let me down.
