    The Quarry is a thrilling experience from start to finish that any fan of Supermassive’s other horror games will immediately adore. If this is your first foray into their games, The Quarry is an excellent jumping-in point before diving into their other games. Standout performances, fantastic writing, and horrifying visuals are sure to delight all fans of horror.

    With The Quarry, Supermassive Games gives the player a good horror experience that captures your imagination and keeps you glued to the controller. Not to mention that it invites you to play again and again to save all its protagonists to get the ultimate achievement.

    The Quarry is a game that has its glitches and some technical issues, but that does not take away from the shine of playing a title with excellent actors who lent not only their faces, but also their acting talent, making this one of the best interactive story games from Supermassive Games.

    If you like 80’s horror movies there are high chances that you will enjoy The Quarry. But, if you have played Until Dawn and you start this game with the same expectations chances are you will be disappointed. It rises up to the promise of a summer flick, but it is far from the best production of Supermassive Games. The replay value is affected by the structure of the game, The Quarry coming across as a needy teen that fails to captivate you after you given them the attention they seek. It can be a breezy and light experience for a hot summer weekend.
  6. The Quarry could have been a great game with its cast and interesting storyline. Unfortunately, it will be remembered as an average Supermassive game due to its inability to adjust the pace of the story, too weak playable parts and not completing the story properly.

    What we have here is a developer that is happy to nudge us with knowing jokes, but who doesn’t dare to frighten us. We might call it a Craven effort. As for the ending, there isn’t one—just a montage of postscripts, detailing the fates of the various characters. Only, we already know their fates, having been at least partially responsible for them. As the credits rolled, the sweetness of the humour had grown stale, and I felt distinctly unsated, though hardly hungry for more. I hate to say it, but Supermassive has made a Butterpop.

    Graphics are really good. Interesting story, at least the first couple of hours.
    But what really made me dislike the game, was the political ideologies pushed in the game..
    We have again, in classic 2022 beta style, a female lead, who is strong, and a male side kick, who is a weak fool. This propaganda constantly see, where female's are empowered and men are made fun of and portraited as weak and silly.
    Multiple times, the female yells and screams at the male, but the male has to excuse and apologize, even he didn't do anything wrong. I guess that is kind of realistic, but still, it sucks being a normal man, and then play a game where a beta man apologizes for a females bad behavior.
    Can we just please get past this gender-swap LGBT satanic ideologies and go back to normal times?

    ....

    She is constantly yelling at him. "Go get the tools". He comes running with the tools, like a little dog, like a man-slave.... She looks at him like he is stupid. "Why didn't you bring the entire tool box".
    "You just said tools" he says.... She roles her eyes. For the x1000000 time in the game.
    This game, tells that men are useless, idiots, fools, weak, stupid. Even thought he just fixed a car and made it run again, he is too stupid to break a lock. So the strong independent woman breaks the lock, while the man are looking for the side.

    This is no way this game wasn't written by a lgbt member, or a man hater. No way. The writer of this story has a very bad relationship with their dad and hates all men.
    Why do you keep putting mentally unstable people in charge of writing stories? This is a Naughty Dog story all over again.

The gameplay of Until Dawn hasn't really been improved upon, and even the facial animation doesn't hold up to other modern games. It still feels as though they over-exaggerate every little facial expression past the point of realism. I was left feeling very disappointed in this game, especially at full price. Expand

    The Quarry is an unfortunate example of a title that falls flat in multiple aspects, leaving players yearning for a more engaging andThe Quarry is an unfortunate example of a title that falls flat in multiple aspects, leaving players yearning for a more engaging and immersive experience. The game struggles to deliver a compelling gaming experience and leaves much to be desired in terms of gameplay, writing, and overall execution.

    One of the most glaring issues with The Quarry is its lackluster gameplay, which leaves players questioning whether it can even be classified as a true video game. The interactions are limited, and the player's agency is severely restricted, resulting in a passive and unengaging experience. The lack of meaningful gameplay mechanics or challenges contributes to a monotonous and unfulfilling journey.

    Additionally, the game's difficulty level is disappointingly low, offering little to no challenge for seasoned gamers. Puzzles, if they can even be called that, are elementary at best, and most players will find themselves breezing through the game without any real sense of accomplishment. A lack of challenge can be detrimental to player engagement, as it fails to hold the player's interest and can lead to a sense of boredom and detachment.

    The writing in The Quarry leaves much to be desired, as it feels amateurish and lacking in depth. The dialogue and overall narrative seem as though they were penned by a 13-year-old, lacking the maturity and nuance that are crucial for a compelling story. Characters' motivations and emotions come across as shallow and one-dimensional, making it difficult for players to connect with them on a meaningful level.

    Furthermore, while the character faces may appear visually appealing at first glance, their animation and movement quickly shatter the illusion. The uncanny valley effect is evident as characters' expressions and body movements feel stiff and unnatural, detracting from the overall visual experience. This lack of attention to detail in character animation undermines the game's attempt at visual storytelling and immersion.

    Adding to its lack of immersion, the choices presented in The Quarry do little to impact the overall narrative. Unlike the meaningful choices seen in games from developers like Quantic Dream, where decisions can have significant consequences on the story's outcome, The Quarry's choices seem superficial and fail to leave a lasting impact on the game's direction. This lack of consequence leaves players feeling disconnected from the experience, as their agency feels inconsequential and unimportant.

    The culmination of these shortcomings ultimately leads to an anticlimactic and underwhelming ending. With no sense of accomplishment or resolution for players, the conclusion leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, leaving players questioning the time and effort invested in the game. An engaging and satisfying ending is essential to leave players with a lasting impression and a sense of fulfillment, but The Quarry fails to deliver on this front.

    In conclusion, The Quarry is a disappointing and lackluster gaming experience that falls short in almost every aspect. The lack of meaningful gameplay, unimpressive writing, awkward character animations, inconsequential choices, and anticlimactic ending combine to create a tedious and unfulfilling journey. As a "videogame," it fails to deliver on the most fundamental elements that make gaming enjoyable, leaving players bored and unsatisfied. Overall, The Quarry is best left untouched, as it offers little value to those seeking a genuinely immersive and captivating gaming experience.
