Supermassive has released a Man of Medan patch that adds a native PS5 version alongside new improvements.

'If you have yet to play any of The Dark Pictures Anthology games, there is no better place to start than with Man of Medan.'.
That's me the other day, and it was so bad I literally couldn't take it any more and turned it off mid-game.
1. The sluggish controls
2. The repeated attempts at jump scares during the opening section, none of which worked, not even the first one.
3. The expressions on the dead soldiers' faces were funny, the opposite of being disturbing.
4. That intro sequence with some detective type guy walking down a corridor with some genre of 'rock' music accompanying it. WTF?!
5. It then changed to this dude bro section of a bunch of unlikeable entitled types load up beer on someone's pleasure boat, complete with awful dialogue and an unbelievable situation (would I be up for a 4 person trip with my sister, her new boyfriend of a few weeks, and his brother??).
Anyway, I couldn't take it any more. It was horrible, and not in a scary way. I force quit without a care for my progress save.
Both Man of Medan and Little Hope have received PEGI ratings for PS5, indicating that they might be getting a native release soon.
Man of Medan is a bite-sized treat for horror fans, even if it never reaches the heights of Supermassive's best titles.
I actually downloaded this after it hit the PS catalog and my goodness was it awful lol. The acting and story telling in the first 30 minutes made me uninstall. I figured if it came out swinging that bad then I was all set
Yeah it doesn't really come out swinging until you get to the ship. It was the worst reviewed game of the dark anthology so far.
Their next game in the anthology was much better and is part of ps plus called little hope
Man of Medan felt dry and boring, Little Hope is much better then Man of Medan, even Until Dawn is better then Man of Medan.
Agree little hope was significantly better however I never felt my characters were in any real danger in little hope. In man of medan I get there was more points of failure / potential death. Have time say that I did actually e joy man of medans story in the end but it wasn't until the halfway point that I started liking it and it's characters but that's not unusual.
Man of Medan was really quite boring for a horror game, it’s nowhere near as good as The Quarry.
Shame they couldn’t read it 🤷🏻♂️🤣 it’s not saying it’s a better game just Basically saying if you enjoyed the quarry check it out… or not ✌🏻🤣
Whenever the studio name is mentioned, 'Until Dawn' is always there somewhere.
Funny thing about man of medan I played it recently on ps5 normally it's capped at 30 fps however there's a few point's in the game where you can trigger the game to run at 60fps by investigating specific items and reading specific letters.
For whatever reason that uncapped the frame rate for the remainder of your play session until the console is powered off or game stopped. You could also have multiple save file ones where you trigger the exploit quit and load into your main game
Not sure why it took so long for an official 60 fps patch.
Outside of that it's a great looking game and quite intriguing
I'll give it another try. Maybe it'll be less boring this time.
I played this after it was given away on PS Plus and enjoyed it, until the ending I had which just seemed really empty. I think only one of the characters died as well.
Actually thought this one was quite good and didn’t deserve the hate it got at all.
The Quarry was their worst release to date - most disappointing game of the generation so far. Such a shame.
