The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan

The game is good don't get me wrong, but it isn't like Until Dawn. In Until Dawn you became very attached to the characters, which is something Supermassive missed the mark on here. The story of Until Dawn also felt longer and developed characters more. Personally I think using more established actors would have helped make people more involved with characters. Part of what made Until Dawn feel amazing was you had NO IDEA what was going on, while Man of Medan feels a bit too straight forward. The nice thing about Until Dawn was that it was drawn out for suspense, while Man doesn't have as much. Another problem was that Man felt really confined and direct , oppose to the dark and long forest trails in Until Dawn which could harbour collectibles in any corner. On the positive note the graphics were cleaner especially on PC and the multiplayer movie function was a great idea (albeit needs a little tweaking). In the end the game is good and fun to play, but don't expect any GOYT edition. In the future Supermassive needs to work on character development, a more open feeling environment, and return to the horror movie cliches that we all know and love.

While it is not clear from one playthrough, the plot uses the gameplay to involve the player in the story and its consequences in a remarkable way. I found it moderately enjoyable the first time through the story, and found it to be much better than I initially thought after seeing clearly how the pieces fit together.

I have the "Until Dawn" video-game and I haven't played it yet, so the Man Of Medan is my first time with this developer and I have to say, it's a very competently made horror / mystery game.

I began playing it around 12am in the morning and kept playing it till 6am in the morning on the weekend, not a lot of video-games can keep you engaged for this long, it had a certain charm to it that kept me going through it relentlessly.

I am definitely looking forward to playing "Until Dawn" now, not only that I am looking forward to their next ini the series.

I would recommend it to everyone who likes story based video games, with a mystery / horror element to it, whether you ended it liking it up or not, is your personal taste, but as a video-game, it really hit good with me, plus it has multiple endings which would keep you engaged for a long time.

I was VERY skeptical about this game! Kind of like when I played Until Dawn for the first time (and ended up loving it!) Medan Of Man wasn't perfect or anything THAT DEEP but it won me over in the end! It was fun, had some good scares and some subtle choices that had MAJOR consequences! Looking foward to the next one! Wow!

I first played the game by myself and I thought it was ok, but super short. Then I got a group of my friends together and we played it and we had a great time. Playing with friends you can either see them fail or have a great time yelling at each other to press buttons faster and make different choices. After Until Dawn it's definitely a let down but I don't mind that this is becoming an anthology series.
