    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game have got really disappointing gameplay on pc because when you are trying to dodge or slide under a branch or jump over something your mouse sometimes would not workout for you.
    For example when I was trying to save emma from the deadly creature a simple mouse problem killed her:/ This is too annoying to lose a character for gameplay

    You can't link the clues yourself, which is something I liked because it kept you thinking and also you can't skip or fast forward. the game is around ten hours long which is gd but made into a chore. Once you complete you can choose to replay from a chapter after that you cant

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Quarry is essentially Until Dawn. There are so many things that are the same. A group of teens runs from a crazy family & werewolves. There aren’t enough chances to actually interact with the game. Until Dawn had more interaction. It’s basically like a movie where once in a while you have to duck under a tree branch. Overall I was disappointed for a $70 game. It should have been maybe $40 at most. I decided to sell mine as I couldn’t really see playing it again. Supermassive’s games after Until Dawn have been very underwhelming. I’d give it a 3/5 or a 6/10.… Expand

    The game is fun if you play it once. So many of the choises is just an illusion. The ending felt really lazy. The price tag is way too high on this, wait for a 50% off or something!

    TL;DR: The Quarry features ultra-crisp graphics, a nice "horror" story and some gruesome visual shocks along the way. The game is virtually identical to its predecessor Until Dawn, down to the "teethy" overacting prevalent in these motion capture capers. The decisionmaking mechanics are often split-second forks in the same road at a push of a stick or button with vastly different outcomesTL;DR: The Quarry features ultra-crisp graphics, a nice "horror" story and some gruesome visual shocks along the way. The game is virtually identical to its predecessor Until Dawn, down to the "teethy" overacting prevalent in these motion capture capers. The decisionmaking mechanics are often split-second forks in the same road at a push of a stick or button with vastly different outcomes - you botch it, and it's snuff time pretty quickly in some encounters - no second chances unless you replay later. The story lasts around 8 hours if you take care to seek all evidence and collectibles and probably 5 if you rush it.

    $70 is a lot to dish out - I'd fully recommend it at $30 level, so wait for a sale if you're unsure.

    The bad: Outside the still great visuals, soundwork and atmosphere, The Quarry suffers from some unclear and downright confusing quick time event style sequences that will affect certain characters' survival and future interactions with each other. It will be frustrating to find out that the thing you just did will screw you later on.

    The collectibles are one of the major pain points since especially Tarot cards are obscure to almost impossible to find in some cases - since they're dependent on nudging characters just so they stand in the right spot - so the then-angling camera will show you a card somewhere up a tree or other obscure places. Audio queues are supposed to help but without a spatial audio system present will be more confusing than helpful.

    The story is certainly not as bad as some make it out to be and there are twists you won't see coming, so the suspense keeps at a good pacing.

    Some of the characters, obviously as teens go, are annoying and some feel like a 40+ yo tried their hand at replicating what a 16 year old might spout these days.

    The somewhat star-studded cast of voice actors does their darndest to fill the awkward lines with life, while some of them cannot be saved. As conversations go, some feel forced to achieve a certain dramatic outcome or to make your decisions more of a "well, she had that one coming" type of thing.

    Overall a solid showing, at a much too high asking price at lauch - it will be a great game for bargain in a future sale - as was Until Dawn back then.    … Expand

    my main gripes is just most of the characters where just to blasé about everything they saw going on/happening which just made the whole thing so unbelievable and a bit boring at times. The characters had a lot of potential but really just didn't meet that expectation. The horror elements where very lacking with very little suspense or "scares" which for me was a key reason to play the game.

    For me I put Until Dawn at around an 8 - 8.5 so based on that I would give The Quarry a 6.5. I paid only £30 for it on PC and playing through a second time to follow a different path so certainly worth the money but at £60 full price I would advise waiting for a price drop/    … Expand

    Basically it's a movie not a game, because you watch most of the time, you don't play. Seven years has passed from Until Dawn. Good story, good graphics, barely a videogame.

    Абсолютно странное и нелогичное игровое кино.
    В этой игре много проблем. И все они в основном к сюжету. Итак:
    1. Глупое поведение персонажей и отсутствие логики. Это излюбленное клише любых фильмов и игр. Персонажи максимально глупые. Да, им только 18, но это не оправдывает их ни разу. Если есть темнота, то нужно обязательно туда идти. Если вы нашли укрытие и снаружи опасность - конечно же    Абсолютно странное и нелогичное игровое кино.

Конечно же просунете туда руку! Точка. Дальше и так понятно.
    2. Бесполезные подсказки
    В предыдущей игре от этих же разработчиков подсказки даваемые за нахождение секретных табличек действительно помогали и показывали важные моменты. Здесь же толку от подсказок нет. В них либо ничего невозможно разглядеть либо они совсем ничего не дают и не помогают.
    3. Иллюзия выбора.
    Это самый главный обман, который не позволяет мне поставить игре больше пяти баллов. Разработчики яро уверяют нас в нелинейности сюжета. Но её не существует! Выбор из двух вариантов не изменяет сюжет. Это влияет только на порядок их воспроизведения. Сначала персонаж сделает то что ты выберешь, а через минуту сделает то, что было во втором варианте. И смысл от таких выборов? Да ещё порой и действия персонажа не совпадают с вариантом ответа.
    Сведя все эти факторы, я могу поставить игре только 5 баллов. 2 - за графику. Хотя бы она более менее. 0.5 балла за хотя бы наличие сюжета. А ещё 2 - просто потому что жалко ставить 2    … Expand

    There is no evolution or development of the genre, they give you about what you expect. If you are a fan of movie games, for one evening it is quite ok. I bought the game only because of the opportunity to watch it as a movie with pre-selected options, this is the main opportunity, I have wanted to add it for a long time.

    Definitely not worth $60. I got it on sale for $40 and still feel that $30 would have been more appropriate.

    Good story, wonderfully shot, well written and believable characters. Full on committed to the campy (no pun intended) horror it's clearly inspired by. The graphics are beautiful, the soundtrack is good and the story, albeit cliché, is pretty good... until it isn't. Clocking    Definitely not worth $60.

    Clocking in at 7-8 hours long per playthrough (and encouraging you to play more than once), The Quarry is far more of an interactive movie than a game. There is less interactivity than The Order 1886 and less impact in your choices than any Quantic Dream game. It's fun, you'll get about 8 hours out of it, maybe 16-20 if you really enjoy it.

    The graphics are beautiful... but that's about it in terms of the "video game" elements in The Quarry. The quicktime events are awful (honestly, least creativity imaginable here) and the dialogue choices/relationships don't impact much.

    I enjoyed this game and I realize to most people 7 is a bad score. 7 is a game I'm glad I play and glad I didn't pay full price for. Not thrilled, not disappointed.

    Сразу скажу 2 вещи: мне нравится концепция "игрового кинца", но я никогда не считал игры Supermassive Games чем-то выдающимся, был хороший, но средний "Until Dawn", были 2 неудачные "Dark Pictures" и 1 концептуально прикольная "House of Ashes", разработчики разогнались по полной и уже выпускают по 2 проекта в год) Эта игра никак не связана с предыдущими, её заказала у них 2K, хз ради чего,Сразу скажу 2 вещи: мне нравится концепция "игрового кинца", но я никогда не считал игры Supermassive Games чем-то выдающимся, был хороший, но средний "Until Dawn", были 2 неудачные "Dark Pictures" и 1 концептуально прикольная "House of Ashes", разработчики разогнались по полной и уже выпускают по 2 проекта в год) Эта игра никак не связана с предыдущими, её заказала у них 2K, хз ради чего, просто чтобы иметь в своей копилке прибыльно кинцо, а может потому что изначально игру делали эксклюзивом Google Stadia (есть такой слух), это та самая провалившая облачная консоль, но игра то уже была почти сделана, и, 2K решила выкупить права на игру у Гугла.
    Ладно, несмотря на вышесказанное, геймплейно это тот же шаблон Дарк Пикчурс, точь в точь, только отполированный до идеала, тут есть рассказчик, тут есть видения будущего, которые можно находить, тот же самый геймплей: иногда вам дают походить/поискать что-нибудь, в основном, просто выбираете нужный ответ в диалоге, система qte тоже примерно такая же, как в последней части дп.
    Хоть я и немного разочаровался под конец, всё равно у меня нет особого желания хейтить этот проект, разрабы реально старались, геймплейно и визуально игра гораздо лучше всех их предыдущих работ, антил даун вообще курит в сторонке, как я уже писал выше, они отполировали механики своей формулы+сделали карту лагеря со всеми постройками, чтобы вы могли смотреть, где сейчас находятся персонажи+придумали стильные обучающие катсценки+дали возможность иногда поцелиться из-за оружия. Если вам раньше не нравилась, например, малая вариативность в истории, или, отсутствие действий, на больше, чем 2 клика, то и тут вам не понравится, но проделана большая работа над мелочами, делающими игру приятнее+Хороший визуал, иногда оператор пытается найти какой-то интересный ракурс камеры, сама палитра цветов с преобладающим красным оттенком смотрится довольно вкусно, при неплохой графике даже оптимизация вроде неплохая, вашему фпс-у не особо что-то угрожает. Персонажи по трейлеру выглядели невзрачными, но на деле более менее "симпатичные", неплохие образы, хоть и клишированные, в диалогах тупости не очень много, иногда даже интересно слушать)

Единственное что в этой игре лучше других частей, это интерфейс, он очень примерный.

    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!
