31 Days of Halloween – The Medium

Day 24 of our 31 Days of Halloween and we have a game so good that we reviewed it twice so no ghosties come to haunt us! It was reviewed on PC here and again on PlayStation 5 when it was later released this year here. We are of course talking about The Medium.

It was originally released last year, however this year it seems to have only grown in popularity. I am all about that van life! It's way safer! So what is Phasmophobia?
