    Awesome game I like it was a awesome journey through the world of quantum break the graphics are way ahead of its time and still holds up today in 2023 north light engine combined with facefx technology big up remedy and Microsoft I would love to see a sequel but only after its back under remedys label as Microsoft hasn't done nothing or planning to do anything with quantum break since years ago

    I love this game
    The story and gameplay were perfect The only thing that made me give a score of 8 is the lack of impact of decisions on the story line and the drop in frame rate

    Once upon a time there was a perfect exclusive that hasn't been continued to this day, why? Unknown, we'll never know why they didn't invest in this game. Hard ein Microsoft

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really good linear game. The way it split the whole game into acts and parts make the timeline easier to understand. I read all the documents I collect after finishing every part, and that really add some details into the characters and made me understand the game better. The only bummer I would say is the final boss fight is not designed well at least from my point of view.… Expand

    This game has better narrative than a lot of games out there. This game was slashed by the media just for been an exclusive. I finished it and it is beautiful. Story is amazing. I'd remove the TV show part tbh but at least it can be skipped.

    Remedy knows exactly how to create a new game with a fun gameplay and a top-notch story.
    Also, Quantum Break has innovations in fields that are rarely found in other games, although it should be noted that the game suffers from a low variety of weapons and almost weak artificial intelligence of enemies, but its positive points can cover them.

    Ce jeu est vraiment très intéressant, il mélange d’espace de vidéos, des phases d’action, le tout est très bien doublé en français. L’histoire est intéressante. Une très belle réalisation à tester absolument.

    I don't understand the criticisms made of this game.
    It is certainly not an undisputed masterpiece, but, the graphics are very beautiful, it is fun, it is also a bit challenging. It certainly does not deserve a 10 but neither a 0 as many users have said

    Loved the storytelling mechanics, the way the science is explained, time travel, it's a mind-blowing sci-fi shooter but heavily grounded on a solid universe. The unique blend of TV show episodes and real-life actors gives you a different perspective of characters and events, as they convey emotions in a way that a cinematic CGI video could never do. They used advanced MOCAP techniques that show detailed expressions of characters as they talk or react to the world around them. There are a lot of games that do the same, but MOCAP here feels unique somehow.

    I understand why everybody complains about its length. But I feel it's soothing for Quantum Break, making the game longer would impact the player's experience, as the gameplay already becomes repetitive at the end. Even so, I completed it several times to experience the different scenarios that are created as you make choices with Paul that affect the world.

    I think the whole concept is amazing, Quantum Break is an exciting time travel experience with impressive graphics, fun gameplay mechanics, and it has a world that I find myself coming back to experience now and then. I'm a Max Payne & Alan Wake fan, so this game was a proper successor for Remedy. Many said that The amount of reading and listening can be overwhelming, but that's the beauty of it, you can go through the game and complete it without reading an email. But for gamers like me, they left a TON of breadcrumbs for me to follow and lots of pieces for the puzzle were scattered around the game. I loved putting everything together and understanding more and more about Monarch, the characters, time travel, etc.    … Expand

    First of all, the graphics in this game are impressive. I have never seen anything like that in a game before.

    Финны из Remedy лично мною ребята очень уважаемые. Max Payne в начале 2000ых был игрой абсолютно невероятной и можно сказать она совершенно изменила моё лично восприятие компьютерных игр.

Max Payne в начале 2000ых был игрой абсолютно невероятной и можно сказать она совершенно изменила моё лично восприятие компьютерных игр. До сих пор вспоминаю с теплотой эти прекрасные мгновения первого прохождения этого шедевра, тогда это было очень круто. Сейчас уже так не будет конечно. Для «сейчас» же ремедийцы совсем недавно запилили весьма крепкий научно-фантастический шутер от третьего лица Control. Ждем с нетерпением очередных разборок с Бюро с уже приобретенными DLC. Серию Alan Wake я как-то совсем пропустил и не уверен, что стоит к ней возвращаться даже с учетом новоиспеченного ремастера. А вот Quantum Break, вышедший в 2016 году и ставший при этом эксклюзивом Xbox, при достаточно хороших отзывах пропускать совершенно не хотелось. Итак, Quantum Break это опять-таки научно-фантастический шутер от третьего лица, но в отличие от Control коридорного типа. Честно говоря, первые пару часов игры оставили неоднозначное впечатление. Вот казалось бы уже почти 6 лет прошло с момента выхода Quantum Break, а персонажи и некоторые текстурки до сих пор периодически слегка шлейфуют, нечасто и возможно не слишком очевидно, но всё же. В Control нечто подобное тоже припоминаю. Может это конечно фирменный стиль финнов? Более того изредка фризуют кинематогрофические сцены, в игре вроде бы ничего подобного к счастью замечено не было — всё летает без лагов. Эхххх, и вот это вот всё мелкое «безобразие» на флагманской Xbox Series Х?!?! Непорядок! Возможно конечно где-то оптимизацию не подтянули, так как всё же игра идет по обратной совмести от Xbox One. Ладно, это не сильно критично, но в глаза конечно бросилось и в случае с торможением картинки немного настроение-то подпортило. Касательно этих самых кинороликов, как раз с ними-то у нас и сложились первые сомнения по поводу уместности оных, ибо не много ни мало, но каждый из них после окончания игровой главы длится по минут 20. Первая катсцена пошла тяжеловато со смешанными чувствами, но в любом случае сразу для себя отметили достойное качество этих короткометражек и хорошую игру актеров. С каждым последующим мини-фильмом становилось всё интереснее, персонажи западали в душу и уже практически после второго киноролика стало очевидно, что сие новаторство работает и вызывает неподдельный интерес, тем более, что перед каждой катсценой мы, играя за главного антагониста выбираем один из двух путей. И в зависимости от нашего выбора мы смотрим соответствующий ролик. Даже немного жаль, что мы увидели по сути только половину материала, но главное, что слепили фильм мы сами. Геймплейно игра тоже постаралась выделиться из себеподобных и прежде всего за счет набора сверхспособностей нашего протагониста Джека Джойса.… Expand

    Yeah, its pretty short. I would not actually spend on this 60 bucks, but its on Game Pass, do it
    So, the plot. Its pretty standart time-travel sequence. But it got a few tricks in it. Like really almost everything is evolving around it: story, gameplay, all this special effects. It really works for me as for the Back-to-the-Future fan

    So, all in all I enjoyed the experience.

    Gameplay is pretty fun. Story is kinda boring but the ending blew my mind. It's so deep, but looks like nobody got it. Even main character is not smart enough to understand what's going on, but his brother is.

    Quantum Break was one of my first games on Xbox and I really enjoyed it! Captivating cutscenes kept me engrossed the whole time. Still annoyed it wasn't made a TV show as it had that quality. I definitely recommend the game if you're into time bending moves and fluid gunplay.

    Tanto en el argumento como en su jugabilidad es un juego muy sobresaliente, su gameplay rápido y dinámico es muy cómodo y entretenido. Respecto a su forma de contar la historia que se compone de cinemáticas, documentos y una serie, es diferente a lo habitual y que para muchos esta bien y para otros no, sin embargo es claro que esta serie le da mucha profundidad a la historia.

    I truly enjoyed this game. It was something different for me personally and I loved the mechanics. I did get hooked in to the story as well. I was hoping, (and still am), for a direct sequel but, do to the fact that this game is made by Remedy, they did bring the good things of this game to a little hit they had called CONTROL.

    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]
