While the premise behind The Medium may seem macabre, it is actually an interesting premise, particularly how she interacts with the world of the dead, including the spirits who have not quite passed. In the dream, Marianna observes a girl being chased through a forest by a man and unfortunately she ends up murdered. More importantly the story, characters and gameplay make for a truly engaging experience on the Xbox Series X but given the narrative, it’s a one-play game only…not that there’s anything wrong with this!Īs we’re introduced to Marianna, we soon learn that our medium has been plagued by a recurring dream since childhood. While the action takes a back seat, the game is a well-crafted mystery that revolves around a woman called Marianna who has the uncanny ability to communicate with the spirits of the deceased, including crossing over into the land of the dead. While “The Medium” may not be the blockbuster we have been waiting for on the Xbox Series X, it is still an interesting and entertaining game on this next-gen console that if you haven’t already guessed by now, involves spirits.
