    Game looks amazing, there is little interaction(its more like a movie). But I can't recommend it since its a 9 hours at most game, with such a garbage ending that left me so unsatisfied I wont recommend it to anyone.

    The portrayal of strong female characters in The Quarry is commendable, but unfortunately, the male characters are depicted as inexplicably unintelligent.

This disconnect detracts from the overall experience, as most arguments arise from the foolishness of the male characters, while the females consistently make wise decisions. Personally, I find some of the dialogue for the male characters to be unbearable. Perhaps it would have been more effective to have an all-female cast, as it could have heightened the pace of the game. In fact, the entire plot could have unfolded without the inclusion of male characters.

    However, despite these setbacks, the actual story of the game is quite entertaining. The graphics are visually stunning, and the music adds a compelling teen horror ambiance. Regrettably, The Quarry falls short in terms of delivering on its promised horror elements, as it ultimately becomes predictable with minimal scares. While I understand that it is intended as a teen horror experience, it would have greatly benefited from a stronger emphasis on horror and less focus on teenage drama.

    Regarding the ending, it can be described as passable. It neither evokes strong positive nor negative feelings. The inclusion of an unnecessary epilogue feels superfluous and could have been omitted entirely.

    In summary, The Quarry boasts impressive graphics, captivating music, and solid performances. However, it falters in terms of character dialogue, decision-making, and an overly predictable ending. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of the game, I would rate it a 6.5 out of 10.    … Expand

    The 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.    … Expand

    For the most part The Quarry was predictable and uninteresting. 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.

Wiele wydarzeń w grze jest bezsensowne, nadmiernie uproszczone i niewiarygodne, nawet jak na horror.
    Co do gameplayu, coż...poza oglądaniem filmów jest wiele sekwencji QTE. Są one maksymalnie uproszczone, a czasu na reakcję jest sporo. Niestety, połowa z nich nie wnosi nic do fabuły i istnieje tylko po to, by przypomnieć, że to jest GRA wideo.
    Innym elementem rozgrywki jest chodzenie i naciskanie 'x' w pobliżu przedmiotów, ale nawet ten aspekt szwankuje. Gdy podnosisz obiekt, który zawiera tekst, np. jakąś ulotkę, to postać obejrzy ją, skomentuje, a następnie z automatu odłoży. Dopiero podnosząc rzecz po raz drugi można przeczytać tekst, jaki ona zawiera.
    Graficznie jest nierówno. Niektóre postacie mają świetnie wymodelowane twarze i animacje, a inne nie i ich oblicza i mimika same stanowią horror. Wydajność gry jest słaba, zazwyczaj jest to 30 klatek, choć w losowych scenach liczba ramek nieznacznie wzrasta.

    As someone who enjoyed Until Dawn and the The Dark Anthology games (as well as Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human), I thought I'd like this game and really looked forward to playing it when it was released on PS Plus Extra (PS5). Unfortunately, I didn't.

    I just didn't engage with the story much, the characters walk too slowly, and 90% of your decisions just affect dialogue.

Unfortunately, I didn't.

    I just didn't engage with the story much, the characters walk too slowly, and 90% of your decisions just affect dialogue. But crucially, I just didn't like how DARK this game was. I don't mean the mood, I mean the lighting. Yes, I understand why they've done this but a lot of the game is spent trying to navigate your way around a literally pitch black environment, even with my brightness settings turned up. Sometimes you're given a torch but it's not very good and the controls are weird. It disincentivised me from exploring the map to find all the collectibles. Finally, I found the characters boring, especially Ryan, who was supposed to be 'brooding' but was actually just lifeless. Also, as someone who is sick of woke culture, you have the standard starter kit here: annoying, squeaky asian woman who thinks she's hot, black man who's soft and gentle and 2 gays (or queer, as the directors call them). All the women show strength, all the men show weakness. There's a relationship where the man wants commitment but the woman just wants fun. There's situations where a man is unable to pull a wooden blockade down, but the woman easily does it. There's a scene where two men struggle to shoot 'targets' but the woman comes along and shoots everything perfectly. I know the radical left thinks if we keep showing these lies to people then they will become self-fulfilling. But they won't. Everybody knows that if a number of men and women are stranded on a dessert island (or whatever), then it will be the men doing the heavy lifting. Because, you know, biology.

    Overall, give it a try if you get it for free. But this game was originally released at full price. Just think about that for a second. But I won't be replaying this to unlock trophies. Boring, unforgettable and predictably woke.    … Expand

The decision system works really well, you never see the joins as they stitch together the different scenes and dialogue. It's a compelling story and setting. A section in and around a police station was the highlight, given its closer focus on a smaller number of characters and a tighter section of the story.

    Some of the characters were annoying, (Ryan in particular), but that comes with the territory with Supermassive Games, and to be honest it's kind of part of the charm.

    The ending was a real anticlimax. It ended very abruptly and there was barely any pay off from the relationships built during the game. The game hinted throughout that there would be a confrontation with police at the end, this doesn't happen. You're just rewarded with a "podcast" to listen to over the end credits. Disappointed. Did they run out of time or budget?    … Expand

    This is a game that not everyone will enjoy, and that is fine.
    Personally I think that this is the best "decisions based horror game".

    Commendations should be given to Supermassive Games for making a horror adventure with numerous outcomes and it will entertain if you've got some buddies over or want to indulge in a horror night of your own. However, the characters are full of unlikable teenaged morons and 2015's Until Dawn is far superior to this effort.

    Your choice means nothing until last couple of episodes. Absolutely idiotic characters (most of them).

    Graphically it’s a marvel (most of the time). The general movement and facial animations are outstanding, I would say best in class. Lighting is also a technical masterpiece the way it shines on hair, skin and material is nothing short of spectacular. At some points you can question if the non-playable sections is real footage. I particularly like the use of depth-of-field which blurs the protagonist rather than medium/long distance environments. This effect is used very well and I hope more 3rd person perspective games use this or at least make the feature optional.

    The voice acting and mo-cap is also stellar, although I think the writing sabotages the great work the actors and actresses have put in. What I mean by that is that the game is supposed to be survival horror, and while the acting is highly rated, the lines themselves diminish the horror element. Most characters rarely look or feel scared in relation to their current situation. In place of dialogue that would make the player more uneasy/nervous/fearful, the writers over-do clever quips, cheesy/humorous one liners or have the characters ignore horrific events with a blasé attitude. This completely destroys the tension in my opinion and results in a playthrough that just isn’t scary. Even less so on a repeated playthrough when the mystery has already been unravelled. And just to clarify, this isn’t a singular character playing the joker, it’s the majority of them. And it’s not just at the initial character building stage, it’s throughout the entire ordeal. They just don’t act like they are in any real danger and it’s atmosphere breaking.

    The story itself is serviceable and does everything I suspect the makers intended. It’s not too convoluted, a bit predictable and contains the typical teen horror tropes that we expect; a Jock, Loner, Nerd, the Pretty Girl (on the outside at least). A few of which are well written and others that are completely unbelievable/un-relatable or just plain annoying (the latter kind of being a good thing in the case of a decision making game of life and death). Again, some of the characters and their actions completely suspend the immersion.

    Overall I would say 7/10 based on the great technical feats that the devs have pulled off, amazing acting from the cast, but points deducted for the writing decisions which distracted me from the horror genre I expected the game to focus on.    … Expand

    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.

    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".

    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.

These developers couldn't write a competent story or characters if it bit them in the arse.

    There are two possibilities here. One, the development team is full of alpha widows that portray the jocks that pumped and dumped them in real life in a way that satisifies their bitterness of not being able to keep them around or two, this studio is full of cucked Communists that are doing everything in their power to emasculate and villanise white men like every single other person in the media is doing too. Terrible story, terrible plot, terrible monsters that look like they haven't even loaded into the game properly, creepy facial animations, social commentary, pandering to people that don't play these games, abysmal ending. The only reason I'm even making reference to anything beyond the propaganda piece that this trash is is so that the moderate wimps that think calling out said propaganda is nonsensical and bitter can actually have a position to defend that doesn't involve their offended emotions.

    Another example of why video games in 2022 are a dead medium and need to be boycotted completely. I haven't even mentioned the terrible business practices that came from these amateur developers joining up with 2K so they really are the most scummy, degenerate, talentless game makers that exist in the industry today, and that's saying something when Rockstar and EA exist.

    Not worth £6, let alone £60. These products need all of the shaming and boycotting that they deserve. And go watch Synthetic Man on YouTube if you want actual reviews and critiques of games that aren't afraid to reveal the truth.

    The game is too dark and foggy to see.

    The Characters seems childish and make stupid decisions along the way.

    You can only walk. there is no running mechanism.

    If you finish the game and would like to go back, there is chapter select. but once you hit any chapter in the chapter select after you finish the story, the game completely overwrite everything you done up until that chapter you selected, and you cant go back to chapter select until you finish the game one more time.

    There is little play game here compared to until down, which had a lot of choices.

    The ending is somewhat terrible.

    like until downs totems, there is cards in which you can see the consequence of your actions. However, no matter how many you collect, you can only choose one to see per chapter.

    Sometimes, the character faces looks weird up close.

    The playtime between each character is distributed unevenly. sometime you will play with one character for 10 to 15 min, and then it completely changes to another character in which you play with him/her for 1 to 2 min.

    The story wasn't that engaging, i had little to no care about the characters.

    Sometime the characters contradict themselves which is weird.

    Pros:

    Interesting concept

    The graphics is a lot better, but that should be expected.

    The monsters looks terrifying.

    Multiple ending, some are interesting and some are not.

    The game has ten chapters. However, the first 4 chapters nothing really important happens.

    Great voice acting but cheesy and cringy dialog.

    There are interesting scenes when you miss-up or when you want a character to die.
    The collectables are interesting, in which its necessary to understand the back story.    … Expand

    A Successor to Until Dawn?

    The Quarry is Supermassive Game's most recent outing into the Horror genre. This time we follow a group of camp counselors as they navigate the dangers of the night at Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp.

    The game in many ways feels like a sequel and successor to Supermassive's hit game 'Until Dawn', following the formula of a group of Teenagers surviving a Horror scenario as they await the safety of sunlight to end the torments of the night.

    Supermassive shows us improvements with more realistic graphics for both its characters and environments, and adds large open areas for us to explore and admire the views of virtual nature. The game also has a large amount of accessibility options that provides players of all skill levels to immerse themselves in its story, and the cast is the most diverse of all the games we've seen from Supermassive thus far.

    However, the game unfortunately suffers from even more dumbed down characters that feel irrelevant after their first potential deaths, and an unsatisfactory conclusion that can make you feel like you're stuck in a Horror movie yourself. It's also worth noting that Supermassive made a lot of promises about the game that never came into fruition, which makes the game feel rushed and largely incomplete.

    Its saving grace is the sheer variety in story-branching, as there are over a hundred different endings, and every character has unique scenes that depend on the previous choices you've made.    … Expand

    I liked it about as much as I did Until Dawn. Save time and just turn on the accessibility settings to make every QTE easier. Sometimes you need to fail some, so don't just turn them to auto. There's also a pretty nifty movie mode.

    Worse than Until Dawn, better than Dark Pictutes. For some reason, Supermassive chose to make the game so accessible to all audiences that gives The Quarry an incredible simplistic gameplay. Simple QTEs, simple exploration, long dialogue. Instead of make a better improve game, The Quarry is Worst , simple game.

    The cast is top tier, the majority of the dialogue is engaging and humorous and the plot overall kept me playing. However, this is not a horror game, it is a pick your path story with some horror tropes. A complete absence of tension and gameplay related risk (Reformatted QTEs are ridiculously easy) make for a pretty spook free experience. Expect an idle experience.

    This game is awesome. It is a cinematic horror story with clear influences from Quantic Dreams games, full of countless branching paths diaolog options and quick time events. The characters and voice actiors were compelling. The game is all the more successful because a wrong choice or a missed button call get it favorite character killed which happened a lot in my playthrough

    If you love Until Dawn you can't love this game. The plot is awesome. You will find yourself trying to predict things. Don't expect anything super new. The base is the same and imo thats what makrs sense.
    Play it and enjoy another thriller movie where you are the main charscter

    This game was so ass. Super ass. The majority of the game is spent walking around without a sprint button. Decisions dont mean jack **** and game forces a storyline it wants. Not worth $77.10. **** You The Quarry......

    Action sequences are a lot less frequent in this game compared to "Until Dawn", meaning you are watching the action play out, rather that being a part of it with the controller.

    The "Butterfly Effect" System is also seems less punishing. Felling like no matter what you do to another character in a negative way. doesn't seem to impact any outcome differently.

If you enjoy horror in general, this is your go-to, especially because no other decent horror games will release this year. The story is captivating, and keeps you guessing a lot, especially whether you made the correct choice in certain situations. When you choose a path, it almost always makes it very clear how the choice will be said in the dialogue, either aggressive or calm. There is no in-between, so it is very easy to always choose the “correct” choice, but is that also the best choice in that situation? I do feel like sometimes you have to get aggressive towards someone to spin the story a little. Also, a little bigger point of critique would be that some scenes look fake, for example; If you would see a character in a certain situation, it would be obvious to the eye what needs to be done, or how one would react in that situation, but the character either does something that’s totally not logical or just acts like it’s retarded so the main story line can go on the way it’s supposed to carry on. These smaller details do not damage the overall feel of the game, it’s just something I picked up on and thought could use some better finishing work.

    Is it worth $70? No. Watch this game on a YouTube walkthrough (theRadBrad!) or wait for it to get a decent discount. Although it has multiple playthroughs, I do not feel the game changes its mayor plot lines so $70 feels too much.    … Expand

    gotta be honest to date this is the worst title theyve come out with, the dialogue drags and drags through the first 4 chapters , jail chapter felt too long , not only that but the replayability is very locked in to making you do the full story again, no alternate save files, no parts to the chapters you can pick from, no skipping cutscenes that ive watched atleast give us the choice. notgotta be honest to date this is the worst title theyve come out with, the dialogue drags and drags through the first 4 chapters , jail chapter felt too long , not only that but the replayability is very locked in to making you do the full story again, no alternate save files, no parts to the chapters you can pick from, no skipping cutscenes that ive watched atleast give us the choice. not a good take from this dev. dark pictures anthology and until dawn are better , not worth 70 try around 40.… Expand

The greedy developers are basically charging $70 for a movie ticket. Lazy devs would rather spend their budget to meet and greet their favorite actors than getting better mo cap. Characters are trash.

    The so-called "multiplayer" is passing the controller and online will be voting for choices. False advertising. There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. I don't recommend this boring movie at all. Watch the biblical masterpiece that is Top Gun: Maverick instead for a much cheaper price.    … Expand

    The Quarry does a fine job as a spiritual successor to the renowned Until Dawn, yet takes a few steps forward when it comes to character development and atmosphere building. Unfortunately, it sacrifices a few elements in the process which makes it a not so scary interactive movie more than a video game. Still, for lovers of the genre and Supermassive Games legacy – it’s a treat you should not miss.

    This game, or interactive movie if you prefer, is a great experience for horror fans. The story, gameplay (minimalistic as it is) and the acting are some of the best I've seen in this genre yet. While there are some things that do break the immersion, it's still an experience for lovers of visual novels and horror fans alike.

    The Quarry sits comfortably near the top of the interactive movie genre. Equal parts clever and terrifying, it earns its ten-hour runtime with a series of twists and turns that are sure to delight. There’s action, romance, comedy, and unbelievably disgusting violence. Supermassive Games have delivered a rollercoaster that serves as a fabulous follow-up to Until Dawn, so anyone who enjoys the genre will be in for one hell of a ride.
