    It's not without its issues, but these are the kinds of experiences that really stick in the mind, and I'd rather that that yet another stock-standard action game that neatly fits within structures that we've already seen dozens of times before.

    I really want to enjoy The Quiet Man. But with seriously flawed design decisions, either in terms of screenplay or mechanically as well as dramatically, it becomes tedious too soon. And that is saying something for a game that last only three to four hours.

    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 one of the worst games I have ever played, but forcing me to play twice to experience the audio left an even worse impression. While withholding all dialogue until the second playthrough is an interesting concept in theory, it added little to The Quiet Man's already terrible story, making the second run even more of a chore than the first.

    An inexplicable and decidedly wrong project.

    A terrible idea poorly realised, with a mixture of pretentious, gimmicky storytelling and banal combat that is almost awe-inspiring in the full extent of its incompetence.

    We give The Quiet Man a point because it exists, and some people worked on it, but it is easily one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of video games. Gameplay is awful, narrative is awful... nothing can be saved, and no one would ever have the patience to play it once and then download the New Game Plus DLC that includes sounds to understand something. It's just too painful.

    A mindless fun shallow beat-em-up with baffling presentation. Great if you have friends to mock the cutscenes.

    Complete piece of garbage and bad in every imaginable way. This game is even stronger evidence of how bad the upper management at current dayComplete piece of garbage and bad in every imaginable way. This game is even stronger evidence of how bad the upper management at current day Square is. The combat is terrible. The story is terrible. You can tell two very different teams directed the live action segments and the gameplay sections. These two parts feel horribly unwound. You get the sense the gameplay team had to construction gameplay sequences around already directed footage. The game in this game was clearly not its top priority.… Expand

You should be ashamed to sell this expensive. What the hell are you thinking? No matter how I look at garbage games, this is not a game. This is like watching a movie without saying anything for three hours. And the graphics are boring. This is an unbelievable graphic in 2018. This is the worst game ever. It's stupid to make this thing, so I gave it zero. I hope this will be ruined forever.… Expand
