Bloober Team, I just can’t figure you out. The Medium wasn’t great, but most criticisms come down to the plot. The core gimmick wasn’t used as well as it should have been, and the tone felt a little reductive, but without its odd viewpoints on abuse and trauma, it might have been a perfectly solid, suitably spooky horror game. When rumours appeared that Bloober would be working on Silent Hill, the horror studio had fans afraid for all the wrong reasons. During the opening night of Summer Game Fest, those fears were almost realised when Keighley tee’d up a reveal from Bloober, only for that reveal to be Layers of Fears. At this point, I think the studio just likes to toy with us.
