The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan

It has a decent story, tries to make use of some interesting mechanics, and if you make the right choices you can get a satisfying experience out of it.

There are Good ideas here, like the idea of the curator’s cut, the built in couch co-op mode, the shared story mode, as mentioned the premise and vibe of the game could have made for a much better game than Man of Medan ended up being.

Skin textures, fabric folds, and even veins are all as real as they could possibly be done, capturing the very essence of the actors who voiced them and brought them to life not as 3D models but making them believable as real people.

The switch between cut scenes and your playable moments isn’t too bad at all, and the characters have personalities, great natural movement, and the voice acting is wonderful.

There's a decent roster of characters, even if I didn't find most of them appealing.

Runs well on Steam Deck: Stable 30+ FPS on High settings with no stuttering or controller issues.
