I still consider 'Until Dawn' to be one of the best, or maybe even THE best interactive movie / adventure even to this day. So, naturally, I got really hyped when I first heard news of 'The Dark Pictures Anthology', and its first installment, 'Man of Medan', following in the footsteps of 'Until Dawn'.

Even if it could not live up to its predecessor, overall, I wasn’t disappointed in this game. It was exciting, it was scary, sometimes it was even quite challenging. Unfortunately, it’s quite short and there are a few glitches here and there, but as far as I’m concerned, the replay value and co-op mode made up for these shortcomings.

I believe the weakest element in the game is the graphics, especially the facial expressions. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not ugly at all, but compared to 'Until Dawn', that came out four years ago, they look somehow awkward. Still, not bad, just could have been better.

All in all, I highly recommend this to all fans of the genre. Great, budget-priced thrill!
