One of the weaker games in this series, in my opinion.
I honestly enjoy the drama and the campiness of the Dark Pictures Anthology but Man of Medan just felt a bit boring to me. The setting seems interesting in theory, yet the game fails to build on this potential.
I think this might be due to its cast: None of the characters are particular lovable or exciting, they lack depth in a way. I am not expecting the most complex personalities from a game like this, of course. However, in this case, I just found them very forgettable and bland.
The same is true for the narrative. Honestly, I can't even remember most of the plot, I just remember walking through uninteresting landscapes and corridors.
I still had a bit of fun while playing, even though I don't think I will be coming back to this game.
