What is this a Devil's Tea Party? Join me for my The Medium review as I look at the impressive dual reality technology, laugh at the awful writing and try to understand why this horror game is lacking in any real horror.

The Medium is the first exclusive for the Xbox Series X, with Bloober Team at the helm (Layers of Fear, the Blair Witch Project). It's their most ambitious game to date, but poor writing, a lack of innovation in gameplay and the lack of any real horror is The Medium's biggest failure. And while there is good in The Medium, in it's narrative, it's method of story telling and it's environmental design, there's unfortunately a lot bad.
