Observer got 78, so it's not too far out to hope for a little more, no?
Observer: System Redux was 86 though.
Digital Foundry had good things to sayIt's a Bloober Team game. They have some neat ideas and art is usually quite OK, but they often run short for the rest, expecting 6's and 7's at most.
Will try it on Gamepass though, I like the concept, and have visited Krakow enough to be willing to see a bit what a game does with it.
"Performance-wise, this is a 30 frames per second experience, which is acceptable for a slow-paced horror adventure game - and the good news is that performance holds up on both Xbox Series X and Series S consoles in most scenarios, whether there's one view being rendered or two. There are some select scenarios with actual performance drops, but thankfully, they are few and far between. However, despite a relatively clean 30fps output, I found that improper frame-pacing is in effect. What this means is that although 30 unique frames are presented each second, they are not delivered evenly on every other screen refresh as they should be. This presents as a more inconsistent experience and some might even perceive a lower frame-rate. We reported this back to the studio, who promise that it will be addressed in a forthcoming patch, along with a current issue in the form of occasional flashing pixels. If you're seeing this during play, don't worry, your console is just fine!"
"While there's no doubt that The Medium is a little rough around the edges in terms of polish and its overall production values, the fact is that it's a beautiful and memorable horror adventure, and I'd rank it as the best title to emerge from Bloober thus far. I do think it's worth stressing that despite being an Xbox platform exclusive for now, The Medium is not a triple-A juggernaut in the traditional sense, but it is different, it is unique, and I highly recommend checking it out."
75-80 is my guess.
Controls suck, atmosphere and story are great. Also visuals are top-notch.

Literally straddling the line between supernatural and real-world horror, The Medium is satisfying, sleek, and sophisticated in every department. While it makes only limited use of its signature simultaneous reality mechanic, and features some of the same gameplay frustrations as earlier Bloober Team games, it's easy to overlook such stumbles. The Medium sidesteps scare gimmicks to deliver a masterclass in mature horror, one rooted in atmosphere, all-round restraint, and an enthralling region-specific story.

8.5/10 from GameWatcher on PC - https://www.gamewatcher.com/reviews/the-medium-review/13263
The Medium doesn't resort to jump scares, choppy editing or lengthy wades through sordid torture porn territory. It avoids cheap gimmicks to shock and frighten. Instead, the game offers horror for grown-ups.

Third-person horror with fixed camera angles still has lots of life in it. (And death.)www.pcgamer.com
