    It was the game with the most empty conversations I've ever seen in my life. If the game takes 8 hours, we can only control the characters in 3 hours, there are tons of unnecessary scenes that can be removed in the story of the game, they just put it to prolong the game. Same story as Until Dawn, really not worth playing.

    A hilariously bad Zoomer version of Until Dawn. It's fun to play if you want to laugh at a poorly directed game.

    If this game was supposed to overcome a legendary Until Dawn, then devs totally f'ed up. Lets start with the pros. Graphics are generally really good, somewhere animations look bugged/static but it's not that often to make much difference. Gameplay and the leading cam are actually pretty nice, subliminally trying to help a player to not stuck in one sequence forever.

Gameplay and the leading cam are actually pretty nice, subliminally trying to help a player to not stuck in one sequence forever. Story is questionable but not bad I liked it. And that's all with pros. There's so many cons, so I will just mention a few, the most significant ones. Pace of the game (especially the beginning) is horrible and boring as hell. Tarot cards are supposed to remind of Totems from UD, and they're just bad. Kind of pointless when you see how this game plays itself. Choices are real horror of this game, most doesn't matter, whole bunch of them are like picking between two dumb answers inadequate to situation and they're so illogical and bad written, just like dialogues between characters which take away a sense of immersion. Most of the time you just sit and think how can someone be so stupid and basically you want to kill everyone cuz there's no likeable character. I mean yeah it's kind of subjective, depends on ourselves but I saw definitely too much similar reactions to mine. QTE (Quick Time Events) were literally too easy and when they're expected to make the game harder, in this case they made it easier. Holding breath, too easy aswell, you just have to look at the blinking red indicator, when it's gone, you release the button and here we are, all alive.
    Summarizing all the arguments, game is bad, but could've been much worse. Not worth those 60$ though and I'd rather wait for atleast 33% discount.    … Expand

    Bad Cringe and time-waster dialogs and relationships I know same studios but %90 copy of Until Dawn like
    same monsters and same teenage horror story and same interactivity understanding same character empty character between chapters



    It’s just a movie with interactivity but It’s definitely not a game ( If your game understanding is just walking like 2-3 minutes and rest of the time watching cringe and empty dialogs yeah it is perfect game for you)
    Firstly game is not interactive (Even Netflix interactive movies are more interactive then this game ) Because your decisions are really not that important They just change a little thing in next scene it doesn’t open a big path or secret things as a example :
    In a part of game You have to choose one of killing a man’s wife or run from there In first try I selected to killing her and after-scenes were very exating I fought with her husband naturally he was so angry to me for killing him wife After that I wanted to try another path I didn’t kill him wife this time and I ran away And you know what It didn’t chance anything him Wife doesn’t have any place for rest of game and doesn’t effect anything but It doesn’t need to be a big choice It can be a small choice right ? No it’s not a choice at all because my next scene is same like her husband chase me again and I fought with him again he was so angry to me for another reason (a reason which I don’t choose or don’t even see) and I fought with him and the only difference between this scene and another scene is when he fell down he didn't get up own himself his wife helped him up yeah the only difference is this .
    In that case it can be a small bad example but rest of the game is like this too . As a general example game doesn’t care who you kill or who you protect it just effected to end game sentences like “John is dead” or “John is alive” It doesn’t effect anything else I want to talk about my biggest disapoitment in the game in the beginning of game I accidentally broke a ladder and game said to me “Path Chosen” And I thonk like “Ow I did something wrong and I will get punish in a part of game” and that part of game had come Our group had to use that ladder but I could remember the ladder's situtation and I screamed like “No its broken don’t do it”
    And game did NOT ask to me like “Use ladder” or “Try something else” They used the ladder and what happened you think NOTHING NOTHING HAPPENED they just used ladder and continued to story Yeah bro path chosen

    Let’s trow away interactivity and talk about story and characters of game They are so bad too . I didn't think for someone in game because they are not interesting they are just classic stereotype teens And their relations and dialogs are just time-waster and cringe but I think all members of game are so and so brave because while monster coming after them they can make (not funny) jokes and they can stay so calm when they lose part of them (like hand eye or something ) When we came to story of game I think It is so guessable story and I couldn't understand the ghost woman thing Yeah I know her place in story but why she trying to talk somebody or scare someone it could remove from game easily and game didn't lose anything important. I think they should gave space to this ghost story Btw I can’t understand game’s chapter ending songs Because in a terrifing situation they play us energetic teeny songs . I don’t offer this game anybody but If you want to try except playing this game go play Detroid Became Human or Heavy Rain if you played it play again trust me you get more fun    … Expand

    Graphics are good. So. Little to no gameplay. Dialogues are plentiful but empty. Choices don't matter. Always the same ending. The finale sucks. The locations are exactly the same as Until Dawn.

Ужасные диалоги, много сцен, которые просто забыли вставить, неестественная мимика лиц, не интересные герои, которым нет желания сопереживать, отвратительное замыливание переднего плана при перемещении персонажа, которое давит на глаза.

    the game started with a promising entrance which made me curious as to what will happen but then, the game couldn't sustain it. For me, arguing and bickering between main characters was one of the important things for Until Dawn. However, this game doesn't involve it so it is just an ordinary werewolf story.
    all in all, watching some random werewolf movie is as amazing as this game is

    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

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!
