    What a cringe fest. They just have to throw punchlines all the time. And every frucking game since 2020 just has to have a social-media-influencer type of character, like, comment and subscribe.

    Terrible optimization, choices don't affect anything, the old lady talks too much. Supermassive Games please don't make any more games, all your games suck.

    They have plagiarized themselves and it's not an exaggeration. It's an "Until Dawn" but worst in all aspects (except graphics).

    Ugh, 9 characters and they are all awful...

    Nothing in this game is credible. Every character seems to lack in intellectual capacity and all relationships are unreal. A positive comment about the music choice, which I liked.

    Deaths feel undeserved and it depends purely on your luck weather your character will survive.

    Created an account specifically to comment on how terrible this lefty, degenerate, **** interactive movie (not a game) is.

Jacob, the straight white guy, is portrayed as an absolute weak, moronic **** to nobody's surprise. The Asian chick is an expert marksman because of course female and minority empowerment. These developers couldn't write a competent story or characters if it bit them in the arse.

    There are two possibilities here. One, the development team is full of alpha widows that portray the jocks that pumped and dumped them in real life in a way that satisifies their bitterness of not being able to keep them around or two, this studio is full of cucked Communists that are doing everything in their power to emasculate and villanise white men like every single other person in the media is doing too. Terrible story, terrible plot, terrible monsters that look like they haven't even loaded into the game properly, creepy facial animations, social commentary, pandering to people that don't play these games, abysmal ending. The only reason I'm even making reference to anything beyond the propaganda piece that this trash is is so that the moderate wimps that think calling out said propaganda is nonsensical and bitter can actually have a position to defend that doesn't involve their offended emotions.

    Another example of why video games in 2022 are a dead medium and need to be boycotted completely. I haven't even mentioned the terrible business practices that came from these amateur developers joining up with 2K so they really are the most scummy, degenerate, talentless game makers that exist in the industry today, and that's saying something when Rockstar and EA exist.

    Not worth £6, let alone £60. These products need all of the shaming and boycotting that they deserve. And go watch Synthetic Man on YouTube if you want actual reviews and critiques of games that aren't afraid to reveal the truth.

    Metacritic, learn how to format your mobile site because writing this review is giving me cancer. Amateur hour continues. The whole tech industry is "maintained" by complete hacks.    … Expand

    After waiting a month Post-Launch for the multiplayer to come live before many people have started playing, it appears to be a case of bait-n-switch tactics and misleading advertising. With the precedent of the 3 current Dark Pictures games under this studio's belt and promises of being able to 'share the horror with your friends in a similar fashion, it stands to reason that the expectation would be for this one to follow suit and provide the same experience, no?

    Apparently, the co-op mode that we've all been waiting for is some dumb Twitch-play style affair in which you invite people (Who also require the complete full-priced game, no less) to merely *watch* you play solo, at which point they can 'vote' on decisions or perhaps provide commentary.

    The devs had all the time in the world to clarify and make clear what this was and what it wasn't, yet they chose to remain tight-lipped until well beyond the point of Steam's two-week refund window.
    Class act.

    The interactivity overall is very low with absolutely nothing to do outside of following the main story (no object to collect to change the outcome of anything, etc, etc ...), and finally, even in retro "slasher" standards of the genre, the game is never particularly scary or unsettling, only getting you very few times with cheap "jump scares".

    The cherry on top: character deaths in a "normal" playthrough never feel deserved at all; often coming out of the blue at random moments with almost 0 way to tell in advance that it would happen.

    Overall it's a very disappointing title.    … Expand

    Men are constantly insulted and treated like idiots in the game.

    But it is not surprising, misandry, contempt and hatred for men is an evil happening on a global scale, heavily disseminated by the media and treated with absolute normality, to go unnoticed.

    And as usual, nobody sees anything at all. Or they pretend not to see it, because apparently depreciating the masculine gender to inflate the feminine ego has become synonymous with "equality" these days. Misandry, physical and psychological violence against men, always treated naturally by the entertainment industry. I'm sure that if the girls were the targets of the continuous insults, it wouldn't go unnoticed by anyone.

    But against man, anything goes, right?

    D'a'm'n femism dictatorship!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну что ж поехали.
    Что понравилось:
    История: (задумка хороша — реализация кал редкостный)
    Актёры: (вот тут постарались, актёры разные, характеры персонажей не совсем хорошо прописаны, можно было лучше, но пойдёт)
    Что не понравилось:
    Сюжет: (реализация просто отвратная, герои тупые, выбор ни о чём.)
    Геймдизайн отвратительный: (нихрена не видно на локациях, само повествование рваное — нихрена до конца не понятно, что для чего и зачем)
    Графоний: (в целом он более менее для какого-нибудь 2012 года, но никак не для 2022, даже в until down (2015) графоний был лучше, самое отвратное это вода, не вода, а я **ять хз что это, я как будто "Робоцып смотрю" короче печаль беда.)
    Вариативность: (в "until down" была не идеальной, но тут это вообще редкостный изврат, очень слабо, очень часто твой выбор просто ничем не обоснован и крайне слаб — если героя должны укусить, то его укусят и ничего ты не сможешь сделать и как-то повлиять на это.)
    Дальше небольшой спойлер:
    Превращение ( это, простите, самое уе*анское превращение, что я когда-либо видел, а фильмов с этими монстрами я посмотрел более чем. Вместо постепенного и закономерного разрушения скелета и разрыва кожи, тут же простой кровавый пердёж.)
    Монстры: (это переделанные вендиго, только хуже, жалкое подобие "Люпина" из "Гарри Поттера" сами монстры настолько ущербные, что просто трындец: нихера не видят, нихера не слышат, нихера не чуют, как выслеживают добычу — я хз, в общем вендиго на минималках, нету чувства обречённости и прочих фишек "ужасных монстров")
    Геймплей: (также не дотягивает до "until down" меньше фишек использования контроллера, тупые qte и всё. Даже в серии "dark pictures" фишка с пульсом была интереснее чем тут с задержкой дыхания)
    Цена: (за почти 6к на пс5; 3,5к на пк - в игре хренова туча багов (игра крашится с полным перезапуском), огромное количество минусов, огрехов и по*уизма разрабов ко всему), если бы цена была 1,5к — оценка была бы выше, но за среднестатистическую квартплату — это убожество в которое играть — мучение)    … Expand

This is all this game has to offer. The voice acting makes no sense with the context of the scenes if you do not choose the "correct" path. The script is so badly written that some characters repeat endlessly the same insult and conflict information from the dialogue before and after some choices. The characters are completely unbearable except for one or two. The curator is annoying and keeps nagging during all the encounters (it makes sens in the story, but it is a terrible experience).
    If you liked until dawn, think of this game as a cheap copy with a very inconsistent script. Do not buy this game if you have anything else on your wishlist, it is too expensive for a completely unremarkable experience. If you value a good story that is well written, this game is not for you. This game will offer you a subpar terror atmosphere with extremely annoying characters and a story that is completely tainted by the worst script writing of the genre so far.    … Expand

    Second worst game I have ever played. Can't top Warcraft 3 Reforged, atleast I can give devs that.

    1)Gameplay. -you spend walking like maximum 1% of the playtime. It's simply not enough -you can hold breath. Absolutely terrible mechanic. You can just hold breath until the last second. Wow how difficult! -the whole gameplay of pressing w, a, s or d is ridiculous. Like might have just    Second worst game I have ever played. Can't top Warcraft 3 Reforged, atleast I can give devs that.

    1)Gameplay.
    -you spend walking like maximum 1% of the playtime. It's simply not enough
    -you can hold breath. Absolutely terrible mechanic. You can just hold breath until the last second. Wow how difficult!
    -the whole gameplay of pressing w, a, s or d is ridiculous. Like might have just not included it
    -choices. Choices DON'T MATTER. You choose to hide instead of run you still end up running. Like no matter what you choose you end up in the same place in the same conditions. Barely to none actually impactful choices. Most of them just change what the character gonna do in the next 5 minutes. That's it

    2)Dialogues
    -cringe as **** I mean I'm not american so maybe I just don't understand the humour and culture but my american friends seem to be on my side. Not funny, not interesting, not real. They just make the characters look even more stupid.
    -make 0(zero) sense. Character says **** this **** and right after says "Hell yeah let's do this". Like where is the logic? Does it even exist? This whole dialogue nonsense happens throughout the whole playthrough.

    3)Graphics
    -texture quality 7.5/10
    -animations 4/10. I mean it's more of a script issue rather than visual issue but I'll leave it like that. But monster animations are just plain awful.
    -facial expressions 4/10. Emma is the perfect example. She is supposed to be the hot girl but she turns out to be lowkey scary upfront because of the awful mouth animation. And overall characters lack emotions shown in their faces, especially when crying or something like that when you are supposed to show a lot of emotions on your face.
    -reflections. Water and mirrors look dog****. Like 0/10

    4)Script
    -the whole story is just ****ing awfully written. Like what in the holy **** What the **** were the writers smoking or drinking or something else. Honestly looks like an AI written script. If Game of Thrones would've been written by these devs we wouldn't have seen the last season because the show would've been cancelled.

    Conclusion:
    The game is such a ****show. While playing i said these phrases the most: "What the **** are these choices?", "What the **** are these animations?", "What the **** are these dialogues?", "What the **** is going on?", "What is this game about?". And that whole thing that all boys are soy and all girls are strong and **** like that. Just cringe. Oh wow so empowering oh yeah feminism **** like that. No **** it's just painful to look at. Not like I'm against feminism movement but the whole gender swap is braindead and cringe. And 70 dollars for that **** Nah that's a ****ing scam. Costs more and delivers way less. Heard Until Dawn is made by the same devs and it's really good but this one is worse than awful. -5/10. Yeah you heard me right, -5 out of 10. Every single character is unlikable, dialogues and interactions are dog****, make no sense and beyond anyone's levels of cringe, choices are cosmetic and again don't make any sense, the whole story is really weak, the gameplay is nonexistent (yeah just pressing w 50 times or performing a "quick time event", when it's not even a quick time for **** sake, isn't gameplay). Anyone who played and enjoyed the game, you are a subhuman or something else cuz this **** is not fun, is not interesting, is not scary, is not worth 70 bucks. Clown fiesta of a game. Devs idk go on a vacation or something, free up your mind, don't use internet for a month at least. Like clear up the **** in your heads that accumulated over the time.

    And to anyone who still haven't played the game. PLEASE DON'T BUY IT. DON'T. If you wanna play just torrent it. It's not worth any money. You must be paid to play this **** And yeah ultimate advice don't even play this "game". Maybe devs will think like hmm game isn't played by many maybe something is wrong. (in reality everything is wrong with this game and doubt devs will ever realise that but all we, rational people, can do is hope they do realise their mistakes and learn from them.    … Expand

    The Quarry is a good piece of cinematography and storytelling, lost in its medium of choice. The gameplay elements aren't particularly fun, nor worthwhile replaying. The cutscenes are good the first time around, but are certainly get a bit grating the longer the game goes on. Standout performances from the actors certainly carry The Quarry, and it is worthwhile playing through the story at least once, but the second time around feels too much of a chore. The Quarry is the definition of a weekend rental.

    The Quarry is a retread of the familiar genre tropes and Supermassive's own debut game, Until Dawn, but the quality bar is somehow lower than 7 years ago. Still, it’s entertaining enough for one playthrough if you like ”QTE movies”.

    As I mentioned earlier it’s hard to review games like The Quarry without spoiling the story, but I hope I’ve been able to whet your appetite enough with what could easily be Supermassives best entry to date. With the beautifully crafted scenery, soundtrack and great cast it’s certainly one I’ll be playing again and again once I get my Series X version!
