Mediatonic at a Glance

Mediatonic is a United Kingdom based studio founded in 2005 that operated actively between 2008 and 2020. The company has 21 titles listed on PlayPile, with the vast majority of these projects handled as a developer rather than a publisher. Their catalog spans PC, iOS, web browsers, Android, and several PlayStation platforms, showing a clear focus on accessible hardware. While their website bio claims a desire to inspire joy and remove barriers, the actual data suggests a more varied history. The studio released only three games in the 2000s but ramped up production significantly during the 2010s with fifteen titles. This output slowed again in the 2020s with just three releases before their activity appears to have ceased. Their genre work is quite broad, covering Indie, Adventure, Simulator, Puzzle, and Visual Novel styles. They also touched on Platformers, Card & Board Games, Turn-based strategy, Racing, and Hack and slash titles. Quality control has been inconsistent throughout their run. The average IGDB rating across nine rated titles sits at 63.4 out of 100. There are no great games in their portfolio according to the 80+ standard. Most of their rated work falls into the good range between 60 and 79, with seven titles there. Two projects landed in the mixed category between 40 and 59, while none scored below 40. Their highest-rated game is Fall Guys from 2020, which holds a score of 75.1. Hatoful Boyfriend from 2011 follows with 71.5, and Murder by Numbers from 2020 scores 69.5. Other titles like Gears Pop! received a low score of 41.6 in 2019, and Fable Fortune managed only 57.5 in 2018. The company was acquired by the Epic Games family around the time they released their most successful work. Their later years saw them produce popular titles like Fall Guys and Murder by Numbers alongside a few lower-rated entries. The studio seems to have prioritized a wide variety of genres over maintaining a single consistent identity or high average score across all releases.
