there is no weapons in the game

it does look janky, but it does look interesting, but there's only so much flashing lights i can take in a game and this seems excessive

Honestly, this game looks rough. I know it is a indie studio, so my criticism is going to be somewhat restrained. But God, the animations are pretty janky, and movement looks stiff as hell. And the fps looks sub 20-25, especially when the world split. The story and mechanics seem interesting, but I hope that is polished by launch at the end of the month.

Bleh no weapons . Not as interested played plenty of those types of games and sometimes they just need some weapons

To those disagreeing that article isn't showing up for me on here or anywhere so how am i supposed to know that
it's a timed exclusive when like i said doing a Google search only has it listed to be on the platforms stated in my comment , so i was only going by the info that came up hence why i asked

It was announced by Xbox themselves as a "console launch exclusive".... if it was a full on console exclusive, it would have just said so.

If you guys enjoyed it, then good for you but Bloober has a history of writing trauma themes into their plot and handling it horribly. The Medium was particularly problematic. People aren't advocating against Bloober for no reason.

-"...Bloober has a history of writing trauma themes into their plot and handling it horribly."

As someone who's played almost all of their recent main games to some extent (Layers of Fear 2 excluded), they are inconsistent writers. Blair Witch had some rough execution for example.

-"The Medium was particularly problematic."

It has moments of shock value that harm the overall experience, but there's actually meaningful subtext buried here. Whenever I see the term "problematic" I reflexively wonder how much that accusation is fueled by reddit's subculture or whatever. By today's standard, Silent Hill 2 would get dinged for being problematic despite that... being the entire point. Bloober's applying a 'trauma begets trauma' motif through its world by incorporating the ravages done to Poland by Nazis and Communists. There are legit reasons why all of these pieces are in place and how they're explored is done in earnestness. I've seen some otherwise solid people, like Gene Park, critique it but I think he misunderstands some of its crucial context.

Not the best of last year, but it was well within its right for '21 writing nominations.

I'm definitely not trying to be the voice of a new generation here. And I'm definitely not against using sensitive themes for setting and plot. But the conclusion Bloober came to with their themes in The Medium was incredibly jarring and poorly crafted.

I'm not going to deep dive into it, it is spoiler territory and I wouldn't want to ruin it for someone who would enjoy it.
But I played 2 games last year that absolutely botched what they set out to achieve in narrative. The Medium was one, The Suicide of Rachel Foster was the other.
