Obviously, the main character was ready to shoot herself because it suddenly dawned on her that she’d just starred in a Bloober Team game.

Yahtzee's search for a horror game better than Silent Hill is like when a guy sleeps with THOUSANDS of other women in a desperate attempt to recreate that special feeling one had with the first ever perfect girlfriend they had the misfortune of breaking up with

I might actually play the walking sim where you play as a bloober team dev walking over to a whiteboard and brainstorming, could be fun

The Medium, where Bloober continues to show how they really don’t understand and seemingly don’t care about trauma and the people who experience it by implying that the only way people can escape trauma is by dying, with a game that’s just wrapped up in a bland package.

Welcome to the Blandest list once again Blooper Team. It's like they're going for a winning streak

Just imagine the giant wiggly monster and the girl that it comes from, sitting there, staring at a corpse, confused out of their minds in a desperate attempt to try and parse what this was supposed to accomplish.

Weird seeing Kurt Cobain's corpse with an intact skull.

I love the fact that Yahtzee is so devoted to Silent Hill 2. I find kinship in his weird obsession with that 20 year old masterpiece of atmospheric horror.

I've watched enough RedLetterMedia to know 'cut to black then gun shot' is the single worst possible ending any kind of story can have.

As Waldorf and Statler said, "It's the Medium because it wasn't rare, and it certainly wasn't well done."

The part that really bothers me about the ending is the (unintended I really fucking hope) message it sends when you take the thematic elements into account.

When you go through the scary neither word, you're actually playing Medium's Mean Mode.

I nearly choked on my breakfast burrito when he mentioned Darkseed, it was like somebody opened a door somewhere in the depths of my brain, held shut by decades of neglect and cobwebs.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thinks of dark seed when games clearly demarcate between the real world and the scary other world. In the original silent hill games the boundaries were much blurrier if existent at all. To me that is much more frightening, because at no point are you safe. Loved Darkseed though, Mike Dawson's narration kills me every time.

This game had SO much going for it! I was excited about the 3rd person camera and all the Silent Hill nods. The other-world art style was also super cool - based on Beksinski's paintings, it's definitely a new kind of hellscape depiction. Even the cold war Poland setting is something we haven't seen much in games. And yet, it is all undone by being just another Bloober Team game. At least this one dialed back the "turn around and shit is different!" dead horse. Oh, and that "ending" can go straight to hell - utterly undeserved and completely out of nowhere regardless of who got shot.
