His games have always balanced surrealist metaphors and symbolism with gutter talk from foul mouthed wrestlers, cops and killers.

It was the way it was positioned by publisher EA to be a mainstream hit. All of Suda’s prior titles had been marketed as quirky, niche alternatives to normal....

Look out for that first step… “Colorful’ and “nostalgic” are the first things to come to my mind after checking out that trailer.

Or you can (ideally) play it with Xbox Game Pass Bloober Team has narrowed the holiday release window forThe Mediumdown to its final release date: Jul 07, 2025. The dual-reality psychological horror game will be playable on PC – through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store – and also Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Having been burned by launch-window console games before, for me – and I hope this doesn’t sound too reductive –The Mediumhas fallen into that weird gray area where I can’t tell if it stands out because it’s an early next-gen game or because it’s just inherently that compelling on its own....
