A complete letdown, inferior in every way to Until Dawn 0
I can’t put it in any kind words, Supermassive Games dropped the ball with Man of Medan. This game should have been a phenomenal successor to their critical sleeper hit, Until Dawn.

Disappointing. 0
Until Dawn had a promising style of interactive gaming. Man of Medan tries to improve upon it, but forgets why Until Dawn was liked in the first place.One of the main things I didn't like about the game was the characters. You need to have good characters that are fleshed out. They don't have to be likable, but you at least want to be able to see their motivations. The characters just feel awkward in this game. One of the greatest things about Until Dawn is how your opinions of characters can ch...
