    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.

    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 an action experience with great presentation, but on PC it doesn't look as spectacular as on Xbox One.

    Quantum Break, in enlarging their length and complexity, turns them into a crutch that’s forced to support a game that can’t consistently match their appeal.

    Quantum Break unfortunately remained somewhere halfway. The series is hollow and gameplay parts are rare. However, the game mechanics are so amusing that it can entertain you for a whole afternoon. [Issue#263]

    This is the most frustrated I’ve been with a shoddy port in years. There have been other high-profile trainwrecks in the recent past, like Batman: Arkham Knight and Assassin’s Creed: Unity. But I didn’t LIKE those games, aside from their obvious PC woes...I love Quantum Break.

    The PC version of Quantum Break suffers of several critical issues. The UWP needs a big number of fixes in order to compete with Steam, Gog and other gaming platforms. The lack of fluidity and big resolution problems are enough to prefer the Xbox One version of Quantum Break.

    I was skeptical, because Microsoft flopped hard with PC launch.

    But: once I bought it and finished, I'd realised that the game is 10/10
    I was skeptical, because Microsoft flopped hard with PC launch.

    But: once I bought it and finished, I'd realised that the game is 10/10 material.

    Best gunplay in videogames since Max Payne 2 and F.E.A.R.

    Awesome story with really good-written and portrayed characters

    Stunning visuals.

    Even the godawful Win Store and XBox app can't spoil this.

    Bravo, Remedy

    Quantum Break is a fantastic story that plays out like a movie, with excellent game play and exceptional acting. The separations of gameplayQuantum Break is a fantastic story that plays out like a movie, with excellent game play and exceptional acting. The separations of gameplay with the motion picture type segments made for an enjoyable experience that made this game both unique and compelling.

    The graphics are superb. The capturing of the phenomenon of time fractures/stutters was done very well. The movement and interactions, as well as character models came of as realistic and immersive.

    The gameplay was smooth. I had no game breaking bugs, and only once had one issue, where I had to find a coward bad guy hiding, which was keeping me from progressing. Aside from that one moment, the entire game was smooth and essentially flawless. The controls were easy to learn. I had no trouble using the skills of Jack, and found the difficulty level progressed very nicely with the advancing skills.

    The story of Quantum Break is a captivating and well written adventure. I found myself compelled to not only finish the game, but to try different paths, to see the variable of outcomes that were included. The included collectibles in the game are worth finding, and add a lot of background to the story, which gave amazing depth. This video game did an exceptional accomplishment of written story, cinematic presentation, and video game experience combined.

    This is a game I recommend everyone to take the time to experience, and I hope that I can come across many more games like this in the future. A top notch experience that makes video gaming more entertaining on a whole new level.

    Quantum break is one of those games out there that have prove that you can have Hollywood quality stories in a video game and emerges you intoQuantum break is one of those games out there that have prove that you can have Hollywood quality stories in a video game and emerges you into it.
    It features a bizarre method of tell the story through rendered cinematics and at the same time features a live action show that you can skip if you want but is extremely necessary for you to watch it if you want to know a bit more about the plot and how it unveils.
    The game features quality actors that made a good job into bringing to life it's characters, the general acting is phenomenal.
    Visually is a beautiful well crafted and rendered game that performs marvelous in a GTX 1080 ti with almost no frame drops.
    The combat is smooth and exiting, allowing the player to either use weapons or his time travel powers to defeat faster the enemies.
    The only problem i had with the game is that lacks of consistent check points, if you are in a tedious part of the game (and there are) if you die you will have to go back and repeat some large exploration or repeat some encounters in order to reach to the point where you die.
    But that's the only complain a have, the game performs great, it looks great, the acting is amazing... this is an interesting game by Remedy and if you love Alan Wake and Max Payne this is a worth checking out.

    I do recommend it, but with some reservations. It is only worth a sale price. It has ok gameplay, but definitely has some issues. It still hasI do recommend it, but with some reservations. It is only worth a sale price. It has ok gameplay, but definitely has some issues. It still has quite a few bugs and in the 15-hour playthrough, it crashed numerous times. The cover system and gunplay was ok at best. You push through it for story.

    The story itself was enjoyable and live action stuff was passable. I would've just preferred more interspersed in-game cinematics though. The story does an actual good job with time travel but I won't spoil the details. It adhered to how we think differences would work between changing the past and the future.

    Terrable 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.
