    There are lots of good things such as:
    - Live show
    - Junction choices
    - Actors
    - Plot
    - Background based on quantum physics.
    - Difficulty level

    Only negative thing:
    - Choices do not affect the game enough, so replay-ability is very limited.

    I would give a 9/10. Thanks Remedy!    … Expand

Шон Эшмор aka Икс-мен, который типо морозит,(протагонист) - просто ходит в шатанах с подворотами и как даун вечно тупит; Эйдан Гиллен, играющий антагониста, - постоянно ухмыляется, как будто задумал гениальный план, а не деле полный мудак; Доминик Монаган(брат протагониста) - это ебаный гиперактивный бурундук, жаль что он не здох; Ленс Реддик - непонятный персонаж, просто лупоглазый негр, который на всех пырит и пугает до усрачки.

    It’s ok, but mostly missable if I’m being honest. The story has its interesting points and the acting is generally good. The graphics are nice, but the game runs poorly even on high end hardware. The gameplay is pretty meh, run and gun with powers that are not as interesting as the onscreen effects want them to be.

    It’s certainly not as interesting as Alan Wake was.

    + Twisty plot with variations depending on forks you choose, unconventional narrative through gameplay sequences as both protagonist and antagonist but also with long live action cutscenes in between.
    + Nice scriptwriting, dialogues, compelling characters with decent sound acting.
    + Well-built environments with stunning attention to small details.
    + There are those upgradable supernatural powers you get to better deal with your enemies and circumvent environmental obstacles. Not saying they are unique though as we've seen tons of this already.
    + Some of the scenes are pretty dope, especially navigating and fighting during "frozen time" later in the game. Definitely produces a wow-effect.

    Contra:

    - Resource black hole graphics that still has quite many glitches/artifacts for its supposed quality. On my 1080 Ti and 2K resolution I had to dial down some settings for playable (>60) FPS. The game sure looks good but nothing to justify its requirements and performance.
    - Game crashes every now and then.
    - Despite the plot forks, levels are shallowly linear.
    - Shooting-related mechanic feels wrong and immersion breaking. There's that insanely strong unnatural radial bullet spread (accuracy and recoil don't work like that), range is limited on many weapons (like bullets dematerialize at some CLOSE point), obstructive aiming camera with too much parallax at close ranges where a lot of action happens (at least give the guy a laser pointer to deal with parallax problem), bullets are weak like .22LR and take a lot of time to kill both protagonist and enemies, not to mention pistol ammo is infinite (I guess spoils of black hole and time-travel techs, but seriously it's just babysitting the modern casual "untergamers" - the maps have occasional infinite ammo backpacks for resupply so why the hustle).
    - There's no stealth and melee is very limited which means the game boils down to using the sloppy shooting mechanics in all confrontations. Yeah, showing its weak side all the time.
    - Cake walk for kids, even "hard" difficulty is not hard at all. Add health regen to this problem, gone are the old sour days of Max Payne where you would twitchly search for painkillers because game didn't forgive your mistakes. There are no options to make the game challenging enough for a die hard player while it's the easiest thing to do with a simple numbers tweak. Damn, you gave the guy superpowers but his real superpower is that he eats bullets like a tank, heals like a demon and has a black hole pistol clip.

    In summa:

    Not recommended for purchase, it will lag terribly on anything below 2017 hi-end PC and it's a one-pass amusement after all - replayability despite all the plot forks is small because the core aspect of the game - shooting - is pretty bland, unsatisfying and thus repetetive like a chore, not to mention the linear level structure. It has no multiplayer anyway so you know where to get it for a free try...    … Expand

I liked the characters too, and yet I missed the desperate brilliance of Max Payne or the incredibly inventive atmosphere of Alan Wake (that concert scene, wow!).
    On the other hand, this game has sky-high production values and it shows, and combat is IMO much better than it is in Alan Wake. Unfortunately play time is *really* inflated by the search for collectibles, and there is too little combat compared to everything else. Chat. Go there. Pull that lever. Climb there. Pointless mini platformer level. More walking around. It's possibly more a movie than a videogame, especially if you consider the TV show part.
    Still, I loved it in many ways, and look forward to Remedy's next work of art. I feel bad for those playing it one year ago, with all the problems, and respect their low ratings.    … Expand

    Apparently this game apparently suffered at launch from technical issues on windows store but as of 2017 can confirm if you have amd card or steam version this works great. Exceptionally high quality from start to finish. If you are a fan of remedy or just 3rd person action singleplayer then this game is an essential purchase!

    It's a bug filled mess, but Remedy is making a (slow) effort to patch it. They basically just took an Xbox game and transplanted it into a PC release with no regard for the multitudes of different PCs that would be playing it.

It took them 2 months to make it playable for AMD processor owners.

    As for gameplay, it copies several different games. They've taken the 'TV Show' aspect of 2010's Alan Wake for the story, and borrowed the time manipulation combat from Capcom's 2013 game Remember Me. What was meant to be groundbreaking just looks dated and derivative. The graphics even look last generation, which makes it puzzling as to why the game runs so poorly.

    In conclusion, it's still not recommended, even months after release.    … Expand

    Difícil de explicar el como me siento respecto a este juego... Sin embargo tengo muy claro que no se le hizo justicia, dentro de todo lo negativo que la gente/prensa dice del juego, definitivamente tiene muchas cosas buenas. Cosas que la gente no ven mas haya de calificaciones malas y aquí mencionare lo que no me gusto y lo que si me gusto.

    Partiendo por la plataforma que maneje es    Difícil de explicar el como me siento respecto a este juego... Sin embargo tengo muy claro que no se le hizo justicia, dentro de todo lo negativo que la gente/prensa dice del juego, definitivamente tiene muchas cosas buenas. Cosas que la gente no ven mas haya de calificaciones malas y aquí mencionare lo que no me gusto y lo que si me gusto.

    Partiendo por la plataforma que maneje es decir el pc, es verdad es un juego que podría tener una mejor optimización, los ajustes se sienten cortos y limitados.
    Irónicamente pese a esos aspectos negativos, al juego lo describiría como un espectáculo visual, realmente sientes que toda la campaña deslumbra por esos atractivos gráficos, tanto los modelados de los personajes como los escenarios lucen muy bien. No diría que es el juego con los mejores gráficos sin embargo si es de los mejores, aunque como pequeño detalle el manejo de AA lo pudieron haber hecho mejor.

    Hablando de la jugabilidad diría que es una mescla de algo bueno y regular, ciertamente creo que este aspecto lo podrían hacer mejor ya sea en una secuela o en un próximo Alan Wake, pues en un principio sientes que es limitadas las acciones que puedes realizar, como lo es el brincar, correr (que aquí es un poder, por ende se limita a un par de veces por ciertos tiempos) y explorar. Eventualmente terminas acostumbrándote.

    Las posibilidades que tienes dentro del juego: Los poderes en si son buenos y si te llegas a entrar mucho en el juego llega un momento que realmente te sientes genial por usarlos para acabar con tus enemigos y los puedes usar como estrategia o talvez con una combinación para acabar con todos de manera muy rápida y efectiva. Hay ciertos momentos en los que la situación requiere que muevas objetos regresándolos a como estaban en el pasado o segundos antes, esto en lo personal me adentraba mas al juego poniéndome en esa perspectiva de que el tiempo esta roto, que de no ser por tus poderes podrías morir junto al contorno que se destruye.
    Yo creo que la mayor parte del tiempo vas a estar deseando ya poder tener todos los poderes al máximo, y pienso que esto también lo pudieron haber hecho un poco mejor ya que me hubiera gustado mas opciones de mejoras.
    Otro aspecto que también desearía que tuviera es que las decisiones que tomes tuvieran un mayor impacto o que hubieran mas situaciones que requiriera de usarlas y profundizar mas en eso en la historia.

    El apartado de sonido es bueno todo se escucha muy bien, talvez si le agregaran un par de sonidos ambientales no estaría mal ya que le vendrían bien en lugares como con mucha fauna como parques, o en edificios mas sonidos que te hagan sentir radiados de gente de oficinas, elevadores etc. La traducción al español (latino) se me hace de igual forma muy buena adecuada para cada personaje y siento que se interpreto correctamente del ingles. Pero definitivamente donde mas brilla es en la banda sonora ya que es genial! o al menos para mi.

    Por ultimo y lo mas fundamental a mi parecer, la historia: El juego en si es atractivo por la temática que te quieren plantear... Una persona sin saberlo se ve involucrada en lo que podría ser el final de los tiempos, el colapso de todo. Jack el protagonista al estar involucrado en el "accidente" que comenzó de la fractura temporal termina obteniendo cierta invulnerabilidad a estos colapsos y de igual forma adquiere habilidades que le permiten manejar al tiempo, aunque eso si de manera limitada. Con todo esto Jack siente que es su deber arreglar todo este desastre sin importar el costo que eso conlleve o los sacrificios que se deban hacer, antes de que sea tarde, antes de que sea el fin.
    En si la campaña tiene mucho potencial, el arco argumentativo es bueno y el tiempo que te lleve terminarla dependerá de ti, de que tanto profundices en ella. Mucha gente dice que se torna algo repetitivo, y que la duración es poca entre otras cosas. Es verdad hay juegos que duran mas tiempo pero yo el juego me lo termine en 14 horas, talves si ves todo el contenido extra que viene en el juego para ampliar la historia como lo son cartas, correos, pinturas, grabaciones, etc. sea mas agradable y prolongada la historia ya que hay mucho contenido por leer y escuchar.
    El formato que maneja el juego entre campaña y película en determinadas partes de la historia se me hace un gran acierto pues sirve como descanso para ti que llevas rato jugando, sin perder de ninguna forma la historia ya que es entretenido e involucra las situaciones de otros personajes y mas, aunque eso si no me gusto que se cargue mediante internet ya que depender de eso no a todos nos ayuda. Supongo que lo hicieron por las estadísticas que te da ya que también menciona por cuales deciones tomaron los otros jugadores.

    Si le dan una oportunidad al juego y empiezas con la idea de disfrutarlo, eventualmente olvidaras todo lo negativo que tiene el juego y terminaras solamente recordando lo grandioso que puede llegar a ser.    … Expand

The branching storyline and your actions effecting is a cool concept, but ultimately feels forced and inconsequential. By the end of the first act I was already done hunting for extras.

    Exploring and finding the little tidbits wouldn't be so bad if the movement and parkour weren't god awful. Seriously, in a game with awesomely cool time physics and stuff exploding and moving around...why do people move so awfully? I wish they spent a fraction of the time on player movement that they did on the environment, the juxtaposition is annoying.

    The shooting is pretty standard, not a lot of gun choices and your powers are pretty standard.

    The motion capture is good at faces, I started the game going "Hey that's Iceman!" "Hey that's Littlefinger!" "Hey that's the junkie guitar player from LOST!"    … Expand

The live episode things where kinda annoying to sit through for 20 mins at a time. But I give Remedy a A for effort. And thank them for making the PC version. Can't wait for #2.    … Expand

    This 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

    21st of November, which is important for this review I suspect. I've almost completed the entire game (win10, 64bit pro) on a mid-range graphics card and a high-end CPU. I bought the game via Steam, and I can understand that the Windows Store version is still quite buggy. So get the Steam version as it at least works on my machine well.

    The game is just simply great. The story line, the    21st of November, which is important for this review I suspect.

    The game is just simply great. The story line, the character development and all. This is more a long movie and a good read, than a FPS game. If you don't like long video sequences and just want to blow things up; this is not for you.

    But for those who love a good story, like the balanced approach of shooting, exploring and letting the game suck you in; this IS for you.

    It's a bit scripted, but to tell a full story in this detail I guess it has to be. It is at least not very open world and possibly makes creative thought a little too easy. Nonetheless I enjoyed this title immensely.    … Expand

    The visuals are definitely one of the best in this generation. Gameplay offers quite good powers and as a Sci-Fi lover, I've found the story pretty cliche but still quite excellent. Characters are pretty deep, especially with the TV Show. Acting and storyline are interesting in the TV show, it's a good thing that the game characters' faces are looking like nearly real.

    Back in time, I loved Alan Wake. Now, Quantum Break shows it's all glorious storytelling, narration, and characters. Puzzles are pleasant. Action and narrative are greatly balanced. I never got bored while in combat/action sequences. Also, the game includes many and many collectible things. I don't love to collect things but they are really detailed.

    With this narrative and visuality, Quantum Break is a great action game. Besides these praises... Quantum Break's final boss is not interesting at all. The main villain is Paul Serene and you always get in a competition with him but he seems just a villain which blindly follows his mind. Paul Serene is a deep character until the finale and the final boss fight is just too weak. I expected a great boss fight against Liam Burke and one versus one boss fight against Paul Serene. Whatever... Ending is a cliffhanger ending which opens the doors to a sequel.    … Expand

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

    Quantum 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.

    Quantum 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.
