The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan reviews and comments

🇧🇷 Review em Português:
O começo da antologia com acertos e tropeços. Man of Medan é o primeiro título da The Dark Pictures Anthology e, considerando seu orçamento mais modesto e a falta de investimento em comparação com grandes produções, entrega uma experiência razoável. O jogo mostra potencial, mas não o aproveita por completo. A narrativa tem falhas e alguns buracos, que podem ser parcialmente preenchidos ao ler os documentos espalhados pelo cenário algo que exige atenção do jogador. Vi críticas sobre os personagens serem "sem graça", mas acredito que isso também se deve ao costume de muitos jogadores brasileiros com dublagens, o que pode afetar a imersão ao jogar com áudio original e legendas. É um jogo curto, com bons momentos de tensão, e prende a atenção de forma moderada desde que você esteja realmente disposto a embarcar na proposta. Se você pretende jogar todos os títulos da antologia, vale a pena começar por ele. Caso contrário, talvez seja melhor escolher os melhores jogos da série. Recomendo (dependendo do seu objetivo com a antologia).

🇺🇸 Review in English:
A mixed start to the anthology. Man of Medan is the first entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology, and considering its lower budget and limited investment, it's a decent game with untapped potential. The story has noticeable gaps, but some of these can be filled by carefully reading the documents scattered throughout the game a detail that rewards attentive players. Many reviews mention that the characters feel bland, but I believe this perception might stem partly from players being used to localized (dubbed) versions. Playing with the original audio and subtitles may change the experience for some, especially in regions like Brazil. It's a short game, offering brief but effective moments of suspense. It manages to hold your attention when you're in the right mindset for it. If you plan to play the entire anthology, this is a necessary starting point. If not, you might want to skip ahead to the stronger titles in the series. Recommended (depending on your goals with the anthology).

I'm a fan of TDPA series.

A step down from Until Dawn in every way. The cast is forgettable except for Conrad, the twist is horrible, character deaths barely make sense sometime and no ending is satisfying.
