I just finished "The Medium" and enjoyed it very much. Point&click adventures are still my favorite genre, so I didn't mind the lack of action or "a challenge".
The game reminded me of the first Silent Hill games and Alan Wake. The "red level" an Thomas's power also reminded me of "Control". "The Medium" would fit nicely into the "Control" canon as story-focused AWE (altered world event). 
Thanks to DLSS the RT-performance was quite good the most part of the game (60 - 100 fps in most areas), but with some more hardware-heavy areas/scenes down to ~40 fps and a few very problematic seconds with heavy drops even below 10 fps.
Can't remember any other game with such a wide performance range, that smells like fixable software problems. I hope they fix these problematic scenes for the PC and Xbox versions with timely patches.
Some reviewers complained about the length of the game, but around eight hours ain't too short for that kind of game, IMHO. Silent Hill 1 - 4 and Alan Wake were in the same ballpark, also 8 - 10 hours.
Compared to Layers of Fear it is a huge jump for a small team like Bloober Team (but I haven't played Layers 2 or Observer yet).
