May 22, 2016Terrable port, runs really badly on PC even with decent Specs, avoid the PC version its rubbish.
The story is decent and the episodes are very good but this doesnt make up for that fact that is over-priced and over-hyped rubbish.
Game play is decent but their just isnt enough of it, with the game being very short and poor value for money. -

Nov 27, 2022The story is nice, but missing the "special something". I can't say anything on the often criticized bad performance of the game since I ran it on an i9-10900k and a GTX 1080TI so more than enough power to run even a badly optimized game.

Oct 20, 2016It does not look amazing. It does not feel amazing. Combat is medicore. I like consoles and own, but their influence on PC gaming is not OK. Many games today are dumbed down in gameplay and in graphics. I do not want that.

Jan 29, 2020The only good thing about this game is the actors, but not the graphics, not the music, etc. Did not like

Nov 6, 2016Unplayable, lag and stuttering everywhere, and sometimes the frame rate drops to a single digit number. And even if i tried to like the gameplay i can't really stand the hour long live action cutscene.

Aug 31, 2016This game is unplayable for me. The only way it is even remotely playable is if you go down to 1080p, although still really bad performance. I have a recent i7, a Geforce 1080, 144Hz IPS 2560x1440 with G-SYNC, OS on an m.2 , game on a SATA SSD. No response from developer and no fix in sight. Just vague promises that never panned out.

Apr 6, 2016Performance is a trainwreck. Where both trains carry nuclear warheads. Choppy and horrible on my 4790k, gtx 980. Seems like Remedy developed this on workstations with the new Tesla P100, and then just uploaded it to the Windows Store. I think they skipped a step.

Apr 9, 2016Terrible port, Totally messed up FPS model that you can't fix because it's locked into the UWL model. I think they are embarrassed that gamers can do a better job optomising this than the programmers is UWL locks you out. Horrible price for this too.

Apr 7, 2016Unplayable with 970 and i5 4690k (10-15 frame drop in 1080p and medium settings).
Thank you microsoft, you'll never see my money.
Don't buy this game, waste of money. -
Apr 5, 2016Runs like complete dog slob on my 970 system.
Never thought i would be this dissapointed with Remedy to be honest.
Also, Microsoft charges more for the pc version?? Heck, they give it away for free on pc if you get the Xbox version. Jeez, they dont even try and hide it anymore.
2 out of 10, because pretty graphics. Avoid. -
Nov 25, 2016This game plays like rubbish on PC, if I had wanted a console game I would have bought one. Very little in customization... especially if your left handed, actual action gameplay is terrible, I feel like I am playing a game 10yrs old not just released. Has nothing on Remember Me or Tomb Raider... worst port to PC ever... not recommended

Apr 28, 2023controls bad. graphics bad(except that time distort shader), shoot feeling non existent. 2 points only for the game idea and the littlefinger. anyway, what is that "end of act 1" cr*p. I rage quited the game right there.

Apr 5, 2016The PC version runs incredibly slowly, the framerate is terrible. Its also twice as expensive as most games at launch, £50 from the windows store when usually games I buy at release are £25-26. This should be recalled until its fixed, what a rip off.
Sssllllooowwwww juddery framerates are unacceptable on a high end PC. -
Jun 15, 2021A decent concept hamstrung by poor game design that robs the user of control over the character and makes combat much harder than it needs to be. A situation made worse by cut scene overload and shoddy optimisation.
The result is a irritating, frustrating experience, that feels linear in the worst way possible. -

May 8, 2016Terrible port. Period. This game can't be fixed i guess. I tried my best to stay positive, waited for the patch and the erros are still there. My rig is FINE and should handle this game easily. I bought it for the sake of supporting new game ideas. It failed but i'm still passionate and i hope the game industry put it's sh*t together anytime soon. This generation was a pure disaster.

Apr 6, 2016bad, bad port, to much system requirements and are the same graphics from xbox one, this game needs a patch to fix all of these problems, not recommended until remedy fix those problems.

Pelit (Finland)Nov 9, 2016Yet another well done Remedy shooter, but I rather play the game than watch looong videos, even though they are pretty well done. [Oct 2016]

Oct 26, 2016Quantum Break is a great game from start to finish, and playing it with all the benefits of being on PC just make it that much better. Given that this game is coming out at a lower price point on PC as well, there's just not excuse not to get it.

Oct 26, 2016Quantum Break arrives to PC completely unaltered, with all its lights and shadows, but offers an improved visual experience by exploiting the highest hardware configurations and an enhanced control system thanks to the inclusion of the mouse.
