    In a gaming landscape where sensory overload is everywhere, The Quiet Man offers something quite different and unexpected. The bold choice to mute out nearly all sound effectively adds mystery and tension. But Dane’s story is brief and not especially original, and the combat becomes repetitive very quickly, making this movie/game hybrid difficult to recommend as something you’d want to experience as a whole.

    As a stylistic experiment The Quiet Man is quite courageous, as a game in terms of execution an absolute flop.

    Trying something new doesn’t mean you’re necessarily doing something good. Behold The Quiet Man, who dares concern the topic of mutism. But despite its neo-noir atmosphere, The Quiet Man fails to draw attention.

    The Quiet Man is nothing short of a shoddy, broken, incomplete, tonally-deaf chore of a few hours. Even some of the worst releases this year alone could, arguably, be deemed more ambitious and more focal to their aims (regardless of the end product/direction), but The Quiet Man doesn’t even rustle up the effort to at least try and explore its prime concept of a deaf protagonist. Worse, it doesn’t respect the players’ very presence and instead strips most of its reasoning and room for exposition away, leaving us with some of the most indulgent and confusing storytelling you’re likely to bear witness to.

    It's a spectacular disaster, which feels like a rarity these days: there are lots of bad games, but for a game that was announced at E3 and made by a major publisher and studio to be this catastrophic is something.

    THE QUIET MAN - это кривой однокнопочный файтинг с более-менее хорошим сюжетом и красивой графикой.

Так и не понял, зачем было делать первое прохождение без звука, для растягивания хронометража или же для якобы ''неожиданно'' сюжетного поворота...

    Не хочу рекомендовать игру к покупке, но всё же не спешите её ругать, попробуйте понять и вникнуть в неё.

Today on Garbage News, The Quiet Man, a game that tries to be innovative and the only thing it presents is the most boring video game I've played in years.
    The Quiet Man is an insult to the video game.

    *STORY: A young, deaf boy named Dane interrupts a fight between his friend and a bully, which results in Dane's mother being shot.
    Traumatized by these events, he composes a character in his drawings called "The Quiet Man", who looks like a plague doctor.

    Simply a nonsense. Painful performances and a horrific screenplay combine to create this narrative swill.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Personally I'm not a big fan of the beat 'em up genre, but I do value sagas like Yakuza.
    In contrast, The Quiet Man features the worst beat 'em up system I've ever seen. Unconnected animations, boring, repetitive, impossible movements...

    *GRAPHICS*: Graphically there are well-modelled elements, but most of them are pitiful.

    *SOUND: Where's the sound? Let me see it!

    *INNOVATION: The Quiet Man tries to bring the novelty of implementing deafness into a video game, but he does it so badly that I doubt it will go down in history as anything innovative.    … Expand

    Well, it was interesting of Square to release a spiritual successor to Bouncer. Unfourtently this game is somehow even worse. There are aboutWell, it was interesting of Square to release a spiritual successor to Bouncer. Unfourtently this game is somehow even worse. There are about maybe 20 minutes of actual gameplay at best here, which is just mashing buttons nothing more. The "Cutscenes" are just a bunch of people talking; with no audio or subtitles so we have no idea what's going on. You wanna play this game? Just grab any movie that features a lot of dialogue, mute the sound with no subtitles and there you go. How the hell did a game this awful get made in 2018??… Expand
