The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (video game, PS4, 2019) reviews & ratings

"Man of Medan" is a short but pleasant experience to share with friends as an alternative to the movie night. It takes less than four hours to complete, but the runtime felt just right as there was really nothing more to say. The mystery was a bit too obvious from the beginning, and everything gets resolved relatively quickly and with no surprises. It wasn't as entertaining as "Until Dawn", but felt better balanced overall. They added a new feature where you have to hit buttons in time with the character's heartbeat and an interesting co-op mode where each play can play either side of the dialogues. They also did some fine work with the character models, the atmosphere of the indoor environments, and the camera angles. On the other hand, voice acting and writing are a bit too mediocre for a game that is 100% plot. They are lucky that there are no competitors, otherwise "Man of Medan" wouldn't have gotten much attention. Still, I am mildly looking forward to playing the next installments as I kind of liked the Curator.
