   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Quarry is my all-time favorite interactive choice game, it felt the most like playing a movie out of any interactive choice game I've played heavily due to the writing and performances and loved the classic horror movie feel. The writing was outstanding, the story was very enthralling, the character development was great and I loved how the majority of the characters fit partially into the very tired traditional character tropes especially tropes featured in the horror genre like Jacob the jock or Dylan the jokester or Ryan the loner or Emma the popular girl but they added layers and dimension to them to make them much more then just those tired tropes, the dialogue was very natural, I loved how perfectly they juggled suspense, horror, drama, and humor, and the twist of the fortune teller being the mother of the original werewolf was great and very surprising. The performances were exceptional especially from Siobhan Williams, Justice Smith, Grace Zabriskie, Lin Shaye, Brenda Song, Ariel Winter, Zach Tinker, Halston Sage, and Miles Robbins. The graphics were excellent especially the motion capture and scenery was perfectly both creepy and beautiful but there were a few glitches. The music was superb, the song choices were perfect and the score really fueled the suspense and creepiness. Also I gotta bring up how it was nice to see a same-sex kiss between characters Ryan and Dylan, we definitely need more LGBTQ+ representation in video games. Overall The Quarry is a pretty perfect game and one of my all-time favorite games I've ever played. Also definitely playing again cause my first playthrough Emma and Jacob died so wanna get it so everyone of the counselors survive.… Expand

   De vez en cuando me gusta 'darles' a estos juegos que son más cine que videojuegos propiamente dichos. Soy un gran aficionado al cine deDe vez en cuando me gusta 'darles' a estos juegos que son más cine que videojuegos propiamente dichos. Soy un gran aficionado al cine de terror y Supermassive Games sabe como hacer verdaderos peliculones de terror, pero adaptados al medio videojueguil. Si no conoces la obra de este estudio o de gente que lo hizo anteriormente como Quantic Dream, te recomiendo que les des la oportunidad a estas películas interactivas. Realmente en casi todos los casos, superan a lo que se ve hoy en día en el cine, pero por mucho.
   
   En The Quarry tenemos un slasher de terror clásico ambientado en un idílico campamento de verano, donde jugamos con un grupo de monitores que no se encuentran exactamente con lo que se esperaban al aceptar el trabajo. Jugablemente tenemos las mecánicas habituales en este tipo de juegos/pelis. Un poco de exploración para encontrar pistas que nos den luz sobre la trama, la toma de decisiones en un tiempo concreto que va a influir en el desenlace de la historia que estamos viendo y los QTE para resolver las escenas de acción. El objetivo del juego es sobrevivir a la noche y salir del campamento con el mayor número de supervivientes posible. Algo verdaderamente complicado a la primera, pero emocionante y sobre todo muy entretenido.
   
   The Quarry es el enésimo ejemplo de que este género funciona y lo hace de forma muy satisfactoria. Si ya disfruté horrores con ‘Until Dawn’ este es casi incluso mejor y eso que ya era difícil superarlo. Recomendadísimo, uno de los mejores juegos del año 2022 sin duda.… Expand

Якщо вам подобаються ігри від Supermassive - то цей тайтл вам точно буде до вподоби. Дуже класно прописані персонажі, кожний зі своєю харизмою та характером (це, на мою думку, зроблено набагато краще ніж в UD та Dark Pictures). Сюжет в цілому цікавий, як завжди багато варіацій, дуже крута ідея з новим наратором. Що не дуже сподобалось - так це дуже легкі QTE (я не розумію нащо змінили стандартний підхід, або чому хоча б не зробили можливість ввімкнути звичні кнопки як опцію у налаштуваннях). Функція "затримати дихання", яка прийшла на заміну потрапляння в ритм серцебиттю - як на мене максимально не цікава, тому що провалити її майже неможливо. На PS4 дуже порізана графіка у порівнянні з PC/PS5, плюс ігра в цілому дуже темна (не знаю, чи це така задумка, проблема в моїх налаштуваннях HDR або просто недопрацьоване освітлення). Але все це не сильно впливає на сприйняття гри.… Expand

   The Quarry is a new standalone game from Supermassive Games. A full-fledged game, not part of the antalogy. And therefore, it can be fullyThe Quarry is a new standalone game from Supermassive Games. A full-fledged game, not part of the antalogy. And therefore, it can be fully compared with Until Dawn. And The Quarry is literally worse in everything than the original source. Starting from history, ending with the most punished gameplay. The story has a very long tie, does not scare the viewer in any way and in the game itself suspense is reduced to zero. But here there are cringe dialogues, useless dialogues that do not affect anything and a boring predictable ending. In general, The Quarry is not as terrible as Man of Medan, but you still expect more. And so The Quarry is just an ordinary game in its genre that will not be remembered.… Expand

Many people didn't like the ending saying it was disappointing, and i don't disagree, it could be better but what we got is still good. Overall i recommend the quarry to people who liked the dark pictures anthology and until dawn.… Expand

   The Quarry is mid. It's not scary and the story gets interesting only in the second half of the game.
