    Remedy va au bout de ses idées

    Un jeu - série TV avec de vrais acteurs du petit écran et un scénario télégénique qui livre une expérience singulière à la technique une fois de plus impeccable. Sa qualité en a fait son talon d’ Achille en oubliant les ingrédients d’un jeu vidéo et un challenge ludique quasi absent.

    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.

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. After all, you're given plenty of firearms and time bending powers. But this is more of a story-driven affair with gunfights sprinkled throughout. When the action does occur, it's dazzling. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.3 out of 10.… Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Kinda repetitive, but still has a great campaign with a good length and unique mechanics that are worth the playing

    The plot is just so-so. The movie feature is new but it is also so-so. The combat is acceptable

    30fps перестрелки ужасные. Сюжет вроде норм, под конец должно быть интересно, но нет…

    Kind of a mid game.

    Very fun at first, with some unique mechanics, but it just plays poorly. Needs a current-gen update on XBOX very badly.

    El juego en sí no es súper jugable, ni mucho menos divertido de jugar... Pero tiene algo la historia y este formato de cortes con cinematográficas reales que lo hace entretenido, a mi me ha terminado enganchando para querer ver el final. Pero poco más

    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.

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

    Alguns problemas de desempenho, como quda absurda de framerate e alguns momentos que a movimentação atrapalha deixaram um gosto amargo na boca.

    É um jogo bacana, mas de história fraca em geral, nem lembro direito do que se trata. Mas, a jogabilidade é muito boa mesmo, a dinâmica de gameplay e progressão idem. Enfim, um jogo bom, mas nada marcante.

Ironically, despite you having time control powers it's a very slow game as your character movement is clunky and slow, as is the generic gunplay. 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

    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.

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 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.

    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

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    While it doesn't always gel in a way that feels genuinely new, there are enough successful unfamiliar concepts here to make Quantum Break feel like a step forward for Remedy. [June 2016, p.100]

    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]
