    The problem with this game is just that it is too short and far too easy, i found myself not two days after launch having achieved 100% completion (i would by no means consider myself much of a professional when it comes to fully completing anything) and left wondering what to do next with no other options within the game. Because of this, i was quite disappointed as the game and obviously the episodes in between were all very enjoyable and a joy to be a part of. I simply wish it just wasn't all over so quickly    … Expand

    Un juego bien logrado pero que en mi opinión es un juego medio aburrido y con una historia que no te engancha del todo.
    ademas es una historia muy corta que en mi opinión no vale mucho la pena jugarlo

    Instead, they seemed to use most of their focus to create an episode series inside the game, that show up between the chapters, using real actors playing the characters roles. However...i don't think it's a great idea to ask us to stop playing and watch a show that last about 20 minutes each episode. Need to be an Oscar material to justify and it's not. I didn't care much about the characters and the story, so i skipped most of it without any remorse.

    So, the time gimmick and the series, both the differential of Quantum Break among the other third person action games, don't work the way they were supposed to. The rest is the same usual shooting sequences a la Uncharted and Max Payne, but not as fun as them.

    In conclusion, i think Quantum Break It's an ok game, never bad and never great, just an ok experience during all its short less than 10 hours campaign, with a enormous wasted potential. My first disappointment of 2016.    … Expand

    It's a good game as a shooter (the covert system is useless however, you need to keep moving), but requires a huge amount of time (ironically) to read and see all the things needed to understand the story, and has some weird gameplay design choices: I can jump on a truck, but not on the truck a few meters away because is the one the block my path, or I can open this door rewind the time,It's a good game as a shooter (the covert system is useless however, you need to keep moving), but requires a huge amount of time (ironically) to read and see all the things needed to understand the story, and has some weird gameplay design choices: I can jump on a truck, but not on the truck a few meters away because is the one the block my path, or I can open this door rewind the time, but I can do it only there, all the other doors in the game stay closed. For my tastes it's too scripted and some time powers are actually magic powers, since I don't see how time can cause blast explosions of allow you to see through walls. Also the few puzzles ask you to simply press a button when standing in a scripted position and then run... Timeshift and Braid use the time in a better and less scripted way.
    You'll like it if you like heavily scripted, story-driven games filled with an insane amount of collectibles needed to be read in order to understand the story... and no absolute replay value.    … Expand

    Disappointing.......I thought this would be, maybe unfairly, the successor to max Payne.......... nope, not even close.....

    -controls feel loose and disjointed...
    -guns lack impact and just are no fun to use
    -slow Mo mechanic is not as fun as I thought........ max Payne series.... even 3.....are way better

    Buyer beware....... do not think its next-generation max Payne.....

    This has been done so much better before in a game called Singularity. This game has excellent acting and an o.k. story but very little game play. The fact that you have to stand totally still and look at the speaker to hear the dialogue is game delaying and annoying. The game is ridiculously short for what we pay for games now. Not anywhere near a masterpiece as some are calling it.

    Summarising this game I'd use the word mediocre. You spend about a third of the time doing the standard console actiongame slow walk looking at things and talking, a third watching live action cutscenes and a third using some powers and shooting the same 5 or so different enemies the entire game. The Powers you have are cool but are pretty similar to eachother and the action turns blandSummarising this game I'd use the word mediocre. You spend about a third of the time doing the standard console actiongame slow walk looking at things and talking, a third watching live action cutscenes and a third using some powers and shooting the same 5 or so different enemies the entire game. The Powers you have are cool but are pretty similar to eachother and the action turns bland pretty fast. You do have some choices to make but none of them matter in the end. Add to that the bland and boring gameplay and the ridiculous amount of time wasting walking slowly and rewatch unskippable cutscenes if you die, a replay is out of the question.
    If you really want to see the cutscenes from the other choice you are better off watching it on youtube than playing through this game again.
    The story is not bad but it's pretty "meh".
    As for any good words about this game all I can say is the game does have some nice lighting and it looks pretty good despite an upscaled 720p, it lacks some of the nicer reflections and shadowquality of the pc version but otherwise a pretty good looking game. The motionblur is less prevalent compared to pc because you sit further away from the screen. The acting/voice acting is top notch.
    I gave this version 1 point more than the pc version as it is running as expected on console. It is optimised for the console and you can't fault it for not running at higher frames and resolution considering the crappy hardware in the console.
    Still it's definately not a buy imo at full price, wait for a sale, used copy or "free" with games with gold.    … Expand

La historia del tiempo sobraba totalmente, dado que la historia sin spoilearla, se ha visto tanto en el cine como en otros juegos hasta la saciedad.

    La serie es lo mejor del juego O.o, tiene huevos, porque son personajes que ni interesan en el juego, secundarios y que si bien son mas carismaticos que los protagonistas, al quedar relegados en un segundo plano, el objetivo del juego es otro, y no ellos.

    El gameplay, las coberturas funcionan, pero las habilidades, creo que estan muy mal distribuidas. yo hubiese puesto, la habilidad que te permite un cuerpo a cuerpo, mucho antes, dado que te obliga si o si a jugar con las distancias. ya que a cortas, no solo apuntas mal sino que ellos si te pueden dar hostias cuerpo a cuerpo. Y por ejemplo la explosión temporal, la ultima, dado que es la que mas cheta esta.

    Decir tambien que el desarrollo de habilidades, es lo mas cutre e insulso, que solo incita a que sea coleccionable, porque la evolución que tienen, son malas, pero malas. Basicamente, me he pasado parte del juego con mas de 10 puntos de "experiencia" sin usar, y ni me ha importado. Despues obviamente los he usado, y he sentido el juego igual.

    Animaciones horrorosas. Dejemoslo ahí.

    Banda sonora discretita, que como he dicho antes, y creo que no es casualidad, dado que el estudio ha querido enfatizar mas en el final (super abierto por otra parte) es "buena". Basicamente no hay banda sonora excepto en alguna que otra escena, y en END OF ACT mientras las letras bailan un poquito.

    Por ultimo, decir que al final, tambien, el aspecto grafico no mejora, pero si se hace mas bonito de ver, cuando ya te has quedado asumiendo casi el 70% del juego de sus carencias, tiempos de carga y demas, al final ni le prestas atención.

    Quantum Break is a letdown in too many areas. Though the gun-play is solid and the Time powers are fun to mess around with, everything else falls flat on its face. The story is boring, the characters are boring, and none of your choices affect the story in a meaningful way. Don't buy this pile of sh*t, buy Halo MCC or Sunset Overdrive, but not this.

    Bought it out of curiosity. Nothing special at all. Basically hype. Rise of the Tomb Raider I bought the season pass today and give it a 10/10 and am playing through it again. This is about a 5 compared. Sometimes they throw in a stupid idiotic no brainer puzzle which only stops the immersion.

    I've played about half way, put it down the other day and no urge to pick it up again. It's not addictive. Not compelling at all. Just very 'gimmicky' and a novelty until it wears off.

    Puzzles seem like filler not real intelligent puzzles. The upgrade tree is nothing like To,b Raider or Witcher 3. Just a token upgrade of powers and thry tend to get boring after a while.

    You feel like you're in God mode. Nothing challenging.

    Maybe it's just me but this game did nothing for me, didn't addict or captivate me or even make we want to go back to it. The puzzles were so pathetic it would have been better not to have any.

    Graphics nothing special. Can't really recommend it over the latest Assassins Creed or Tomb Raider as they are top notch games with plenty to do. This seems very linear and scripted to the point it feels very, very short. Not worth the price of admission. I would get Far Cry Primal over this as there's a lot more to do. This half simple Simon shooter, half simple Simon story doesn't really do it for me. If that changes I'll come back and give it higher but for now I'm disappointed. It doesn't do any one thing well.

However, the time-writing is so time-bland, like a sci-fi show on the USA Network with lame acting and a camera guy who gets right up on you. If they were going for cliches and Nissan advertisements, they nailed it, but a mediocre television show isn't a game. The actual guts of Quantum Break are almost more of a letdown when you consider the theme of the game is time travel. We could've gotten awesome puzzles and more daring editing with the fractured timeline stuff and perhaps new mechanics or scenes that really highlight that what you're doing is time stuff, not just a samey and uninspiring third-person shooter where your cardboard cutout protagonist sluggishly non-walks or non-runs around, bumping into time things... It's not very long either so you're left with the feeling that you just dealt with bad prime-time cable TV and ran around shooting at big dudes and all you have to show for it is a bevy of very easy achievements and a dilemma of how you can wring more from the game to justify paying anything over $40 for it.

So what is left of Quantum Break if you take away all the cool visual effects, and the player's ability to control time ? a bad third person shooter? a wast of production money? no , it's a big sign of disappointment from all the players who bought this overhyped game.… Expand

    I like the innovation between it being a video game and TV show, but that's practically the only thing I like about it.

    The acting is okay, but it seem's like they're trying to hard. The gameplay is nothing special, more generic than unique. Very repetitive mission's structure, and only two outcomes at the end of those missions.

    Quantum Break est un jeu très drôle, dès le début, il vous donne le fou rire avec son installation de 45 Go, 45 Go pour un couloir, c'est très impressionnant. Puis bien sûr, le patch du premier jour, car le Premier Jour, Dieu ne créa ni l'homme ni la femme mais le patch : ce dernier se monte à 4,6 Go. Une paille.

    Ensuite... il manque encore quelque chose ! les épisodes de la série    Quantum Break est un jeu très drôle, dès le début, il vous donne le fou rire avec son installation de 45 Go, 45 Go pour un couloir, c'est très impressionnant. Puis bien sûr, le patch du premier jour, car le Premier Jour, Dieu ne créa ni l'homme ni la femme mais le patch : ce dernier se monte à 4,6 Go. Une paille.

    Ensuite... il manque encore quelque chose ! les épisodes de la série incluse ne sont pas inclus dans l'installation, bien sûr que non, ni sur un quelconque second disque (et puis quoi encore ? ça coûte du pognon les blouraies putain). Les épisodes sont lus à partir du grand réseau des Serveurs de l'Internet tout puissant. Mais dans le cas où -quand même- on aimerait avoir ça sur son disque dur (pour avoir la totale, tout sur la console, pour jouer hors ligne, que sais-je...) on peut les télécharger -gratuitement- ça ne fait que dans les 75 Go ! défi relevé pour ma part en une dizaine d'heures. Une paille. Si je sais compter, attendez je sors la calculette, ça nous fait 120 Go... record battu pour Gigas Break.

    Ces quelques détails mis à part et après avoir bien ri, on lance et on s'y met. Le temps est cassé et a besoin d'un réparateur ! c'est parti pour une dizaine d'heures (avec les épisodes de 20 mn entre chaque acte, 5 en tout) pour ce qui m'a tout l'air d'un Uncharted dans les couloirs du temps cassé. Exactement la même alternance entre du blabla, de l'escalade et une mégachiée de combats. Alors, être comparé à un Unchartiep, ce n'est pas une insulte mais c'est loin de constituer un compliment ! c'est juste "moyen". Divertissant certes mais moyen.

    C'est aussi bien évidemment une prouesse graphique, car on en prend constamment plein les mirettes dans Quantum Break. Comme dans un Uncharted en fait. Quantum Break n'a beau être qu'en 720p, l'anti-aliasing et le post-process de fou, l'éclairage, les derniers effets à la mode et tutti quanti donnent au jeu une allure de superstar. En outre, la patte graphique, la direction artistique sont de toute beauté également. Effets sonores soignés, VF excellente, musique de "blockbuster", tout y est.

    Même si The Division reste... plus impressionnant encore (Ubisoft et sa puissance de feu ont encore frappé...) mais il serait malséant de faire la fine bouche... même si le couloir Remedy reste en retrait du monde ouvert Ubisoft (ricanement sous cape).

    Les épisodes de 20 mn illustrent les choix que l'on fait à l'issue de chaque acte, une bonne idée dans un jeu aussi scénarisé qui permet quelques variantes bienvenues. Le problème, c'est qu'on s'en fout. On se fout de l'intrigue de voyage et de remontage du temps, biscornue, mal foutue et dérisoire, pas crédible une seule seconde. Si le jeu est magnifiquement réalisé, on ne peut en dire autant de la série qui fait trop bon marché : sa réalisation est déplorable (cut et move à gogo), sans direction les acteurs sont laissés à eux-mêmes et pataugent lamentablement. Bref, ça fait tiep.

    Les combats qui sont l'essentiel du jeu sont à la fois intéressants et totalement chiants. Un paradoxe temporel sans doute mais patent : ce n'est jamais satisfaisant sans être vraiment mauvais. Quantum Break n'a pas pu choisir entre un TPS à couverture strict et un TPS action à super-pouvoirs. L'interface est la responsable alors que la maniabilité en elle-même ne souffre pas de reproche. Bref, ce n'est plus la belle alchimie d'Alan Wake même si celle-ci n'a bien entendu rien à voir. Mais il est clair que pour son Quantum, Remedy a merdé quelque peu et laissé des traces de pneus au fond.

    Voilà donc le jeu pop-corn de la Xbox One bien plus intéressant qu'un Dumb Raider mais trop moyen pour être honnête : on ne s'y ennuie pas mais on ne s'y amuse pas non plus !    … Expand

There are environmental puzzles where you can manipulate time but essentially you use your "detective view" to highlight a location where you press Y and solve the puzzle. Lots of cutscenes and also an interesting live movie element that plays occasionally. Combat is cliched and nothing you having seen before; you go into a large location with the usual arrangement of cover obstacles, red barrels, ammo packs, etc, then you kill all the bad guys before moving onto the next environmental puzzle. Also dotted around are laptops and files which all happen to be open at an email which fills in the plot. The characters are also quite dull. It's a very linear game that's also short. You can unlock branches that lead to slightly different replays but honestly I'm not sure that you'd want to bother. It's a real shame as the concept is interesting and the production values overall are very high, but the actual gameplay is nothing you don't get in any other game of this type and is often quite boring. Some nice easter eggs, such as a blackboard showing the motivation behind "Alan wake" and a funny time-based screenplay you find on one of the laptops. To be honest I would have preferred to have played the screenplay instead of this predictable, cliche ridden game.… Expand

    Quantum Break is a really interesting title that I'd recommend to everyone. The gameplay is very fluid and fun. If I hadn't known it was coming from people behind Max Payne, I'd still feel it anyway. All guns and powers are useful and it's fun to use them which makes you vary your toolset and not stick to one weapon for the duration of whole game (which happens with some games).

    The deal-breaker is tv series intertwined in the game. It's not bad but it is out of the place. It only reduces the pace of the game and sometimes bores you. These story arcs should have been presented in-game and not as a 20 minutes long movies (after first 4 acts for the total of about 80 minutes).

    The story and characters were interesting and likable however not all of them were believable. I like the idea behind the story and it kept me going to see the outcome which pleased. The ending pointed to potential sequel which I guess is unlikely considering game's reception.

    Game is using very bizzare rendering technique which makes everything look very grainy. It grows on you and I liked it considering game's setting with time breaking down. Animations are superb and probably the best in any game as of now (what a welcome feature coming from ME: Andromeda). Voice acting was excellent.

    I believe game's bad reception was due to it being 12h long game, out of which at least a third is tv-series and cut-scenes. Lack of multiplayer didn't help.

    I definately recommend it, especially if you can pick it up at such a low price as me (15$). I'd rate it 7.5 if it was possible.    … Expand

Using Joyce's powers is a joy, the shooting is a bit shallow but it still does the trick and deciding how the series will "change" is interesting. The writing isn't all that great, but the action moments and the actors manage to convince you to stay, towards the final acts.

    The thing is, aside from that, everything is just 'OK'!
    The story is bad on the first 2 acts, picks up on the 3rd and gets pretty good on the 4th & 5th, but it's all just TOO bonkers, without actually trying to explain it to you, in a cohesive way. There are files and audio logs spread around areas, but it's TOO MUCH reading and, quite frankly, it's all very uneventful and boring. In the beginning, the series' parts were weird, as if it didn't know what it wants to be. Some events happened out of nowhere and the whole time travel thing seemed empty. Things take too long to happen and when it does, it's too late.
    Also the game has some pacing issues. It seems unsynced and unconnected, sometimes. At times, it felt a bit buggy. It lacks challenge and checkpoints were badly done.

    Despite the hollow identity crisis that Quantum Break suffers from, gameplay is still really fun and characters are actually well portrayed. I won't recommend it, but if you have Game Pass, try it out! Just don't expect anything beyond an standard experience.    … Expand

Digo esto como punto de partida porque si este recurso te molesta, entonces debes bajarle dos puntos a la nota que creo merece este juego. Ahora comenzaré a argumentar mi postura.

    El guión de este juego me interesó desde un principio, pese a que al igual que todos creo que el tiempo como tema tiene mas y mejores formas de ser abordado que el acá presente. Pero dejando eso de lado -que evidentemente resta- me gusta la historia de este juego, tanto en las relaciones entre personajes, como en el lore que se presenta en los coleccionables. Me parece un universo disfrutable y también la mayor virtud de Quantum Break.

    La principal mejora del estudio, es en mi opinión en términos mecánicos, no está tan pulido como otros juegos que utilizan las coberturas y la tercera persona, pero no creo que sea la idea que se maneje de manera tan pulida. El protagonista sabe manejar armas pero no es un policía o un miembro de un grupo de elite, es coherente que se mueva de manera acartonada y la jugabilidad se base en las habilidades con el tiempo, pues es la única ventaja que posee frente a una institución militarizada.

    Técnicamente el juego queda un poco al debe, se ve algo borroso y la definición no es la mejor. Pero su principal problema tiene que ver con la narración: por un lado te ofrecen muchos "caminos" desbloqueables con algunos objetos, pero son una estupidez, no cambian en lo mas mínimo el juego, solo algunas escenas. Por otro lado, mucha narracion del juego está desperdigada en la serie, que es obligatoria para entender el juego. Y por ultimo surge el mismo problema que con Alan Wake: el final que no cierra nada, si no que invita a una secuela.

    Me ha gustado, pero se queda a la puerta de la recomendación en mi opinión, espero que en su proximo juego Remedy mejore estos problemas.    … Expand

    Good game. Especially the story is excellent. I found it a bit repetitive, and maybe as a third person shooter there are better examples. Recommended

    An interesting meld of Alan Wake and Max Payne can't prevent this game from feeling linear and short on ideas. Less time should have been spent on the hammy dialogue and acting cast and more time spent on crafting an interesting world and characters who didn't all feel dislikeable and generic.

    In the end it’s a game that just feels so empty. The story is great and so are the graphics, but that's it. None of the characters are interesting, the gameplay is often monotonous and it’s just so dull. I want to like it and I do, but in the end it’s just a lot of wasted potential.

    This spiritual sequel to Alan Wake is a hybrid of story-driven action game and a TV show. It's only about 8 hours long. The live-action episodes have the quality of a network TV show. Fans of Detroit: Too Human and L.A. Noire might enjoy it. The game looks fantastic, although there is stuttering and screen tear on occasion. Some might be disappointed with the lack of action.

To achieve this aim, the kinematic where most of the script unfolds are played by real live actors, what has been the most discussed point of this game. Due to this, the game was not very well welcomed among the Xbox community. However, the game is not so bad and is enjoyable.
    The gameplay seems to be like the one we can find in any other third person third person shooter. However, It's way more than that thanks to the abilities that allow us to manipulate time in many ways. Definitely, this makes the game experience fresh and unique. Despite altering time is really cool, gunplay is a bit uncomfortable and hard to get used to.
    Visuals and audio effects are great, and really enchant the game experience till the point that we really think that we are on a movie. It's clear that the sensations developers wanted to send are really worked out. In general terms graphics are impressing (Moreover if we play on an Xbox one X), but sometimes it takes a bit to load textures.
    The real action short films, which are the most outstanding point of the game, are honestly too long and don't fit very well. It's true that they're really worked out and the acting is great, but unfortunately are unnecessary.
    Quantum Break is far from being one of the best games of Xbox One and the generation. However, it's one of the most ambitious one and worth playing it for sure.    … Expand

    Microsoft's take on the PS4's successful Quantic Dream-series. It looks good, the story is nice, the cinematic elements look great, but the dramatic arc of the whole game is suffering. And the end boss is way too hard considering the whole game.

    A história é fantástica e as cenas live-action foram meus momentos favoritos. Infelizmente a gameplay não acompanha o nível.

    Quatum Break is a game of opposites. Innovative gameplay mechanics, facial animations that come across well and beautifully detailed environments. Yet, the game does not convince because of the complicated story that actually only comes into its own if you are willing to read the many, many documents in the game. The pace of the game is also continuously disrupted. Not only because of theQuatum Break is a game of opposites.

The pace of the game is also continuously disrupted. Not only because of the weak live action episodes, but also because of small details such as respawning in places far before your 'game over moment', your main character who always walks too slow and the long loading screens. All in all a nice game experience but irritations unfortunately often take the upper hand.… Expand

    Nice game, beautiful graphics overall, a great concept which developpers didn't exploit to its full potential (poor impact of choices and light use of time travel potential). But don't be fooled by the score here, it's still a nice game to play.

    The shooting sequences are mediocre, the level traversal is boring, the story is alright but I wish they'd have done more crazy twists with time-traveling, as it only really begun to be interesting at the very end of the game

    Its the worst Remedy game ever. I`m hudge Remedy fan , but this game has killed me. From the positive side :
    - Insanely beautifull grafics. Emotions , face animation , lipsync - top notch.
    - Game engine looks very promising : ojects behavour , tracks of bullets , etc... There are some flaws, like enemy bodies falling through the walls, but they are minor and do not break immersion. -    Its the worst Remedy game ever.

    - Music is very stylish and to the point. I especially respect Remedy for very creative sound effect and music choice.
    From negative side :
    - Plot is overcomplex and you need to read gazillions of emails and other narrative stuff to stay up to date.
    - Fight scenes are chaotic and always go by the same scenario : you are running like a blind scared horse, randomly around the room, throwing left and right force fields and shoot them , hoping they will kill somebody. Everything happens very quickly and most of the time you have no time to plan the fight.
    - Abilities are strange and sometimes redundant. I was not able to figure out why you need the shield , if you have the force field that does the same , plus concentrate bullets and explodes with killing effect.
    - Controls are glitchy: time jump only works when you directly press forward and left shoulder button. If your analogue stick does not point DIRECTLY forward, ability does not trigger. This produces hudge amount of fails and you stop to use this ability unless you have to.
    - Pretty strange and not clear system of RPG-like skill improvement. You have to search for some "mist"-like clouds that are called quant-something and are randomly located over random sections of the game, and they are currency to buy upgrades.
    - You have to spam Y to be in your Time Vision all the time , in order to have the idea what is where . It is even worse then Assassins Creed or Tomb Raider.
    - To reveal the plot completely, you need to watch like 2 hours of video that you have to stream additionally form Internet. Holy God, this is over limits ! These movies are supposed to be you reward for completing the chapter, but they are very amature directed , even more amature shot and actors are kinda "yet another random man on the bus stop i see every day"-type.
    - Being on chapter 2 and talking with NPC taxi guy , i realised , that i forgot why and where we are going and what we want to achieve... Thats how bad the immersion is.
    I just cant rate Remedy red , cause they are one of my favourite game making companies, thats why i give five.
    But honestly, this game deserves no more than 2 and has to be re-done from combat controls , narrative pace , presentation layer perspectives.    … Expand

    Nice swing and a miss. I had highlighted hopes for this game back in the day but those hopes fell flat when I started playing the movie that is Quantum Break. The cinematic in this game take up most of the time- if u choose to watch them. This game couldn't accomplish what Control managed to! While QB isn't terrible, u would be better off playing Control instead.

    Quantum Break is an incredible game that will hook you for its ten hour duration and stay with you long after that. The story is packed with mystery, suspense, and engaging characters caught in a high stakes situation where every decision is significant. While adding TV show may not have revolutionized storytelling, Quantum Break is a must play game for those looking to sink their teeth into a meaningful adventure.

    Quantum Break is a bad movie, but a really good game. It did not convince me with its poor (and poorly told) story and characters that I did not care about at all, but as a shooter it is really enjoyable and creative. [05/2016, p.38]
