    Quantum Break me parece un mejor juego que Alan Wake. Me gusta el estilo narrativo de Remedy, y sinceramente no me molesta que utilicen tanto el recurso de los coleccionables como pequeñas partes del guión. 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    Quantum Break me parece un mejor juego que Alan Wake. Me gusta el estilo narrativo de Remedy, y sinceramente no me molesta que utilicen tanto el recurso de los coleccionables como pequeñas partes del guión. 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

    This game is not a masterpiece, but it really has the potential of be one in the future, as they take more deep advantage of the esence of this game, i had too much FUN playing it and i found the story really interesting, beautiful graphics, and stunning special effects; Sadly is too short. I think a 8.3 would be perfect.

    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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Snippet of Full Length Review]

    Besides star-power and an interesting time-related gimmick along the lines of something out of 2010’s Singularity, Quantum Break is interesting in other ways as well. For one, it is both a live-action television show and a video game, each part intermingled with the other in an intricate yet optional playable and watchable experience. This is really where the acting credits come in handy and where the story and lore progress deeper than they could in the base third-person action-shooter game itself. The story itself as well as the fluidity of gameplay mechanics are certainly the highlights and have been praised by other critics as such, however some of the other mechanics such as platforming and general locomotion are a bit messier.

    Although it is intrinsically a shooter game and these typically don’t have much to offer in the way of a story, Quantum Break’s plot is fairly refreshing and interesting, not just for the genre but for gaming as a whole. It does admittedly share similarities to some other time traveling adventures but then that exists only because many of the same issues that have always been theorized regarding time travel exist in this incarnation as well of course. One unique mechanic the game features is the built-in ability to essentially decide how the protagonist and antagonist will act and how that will shape the course of the plot itself. The game does a good job of representing Aidan Gillan’s (of course) chaotic character as neither good nor bad and sets him up as a definitely complicated antagonist that largely acts according to how protagonist Jack Joyce (Shawn Ashmore) reacts to…well it’s all really spoiler-ish and confusing so I’ll stop there.

    When all things are said and done, Quantum Break should be and is an interesting new direction for Microsoft because it presents an original playing field with many talented actors and an intriguing yet potentially well-written and already closed script as well. Although I could see how the game could become a series, it also offers a thoroughly satisfying experience and conclusion which means it could be one of those highly praised cult-classic one-off games some day soon. There’s room for improvement and also some room for upgrading the story to be a little less linear and yet with all the background details and lore and episodic live-action pieces included it really is a pretty complete bundle. I’d like to not only hear or see more about the universe- not even in video games but perhaps through other mediums such as comics or novels, but also just see how similar elements that worked well in this game could be implemented into others successfully as well.

    Remedy Entertainment is well known and well-praised for their work on some unique cult-classics and projects such as all things Alan Wake. Although many people would like to see Alan Wake 2 (in earnest) or see them take the helm on other ambitious and interesting projects, I also think working on Quantum Break was the right call and that they really nailed the tone and pacing they were aiming for. Sam Lake (who you may also know for producing stories in relation to Max Payne 1 and 2 as well as Alan Wake and a credit in Gravity) couldn’t have been a better fit for directing the effort and for managing the elements that would eventually come together to form a brave new live-action meets interactive adventure and game trope. Honestly, I’m a little disappointed that nobody else has started to implement the themes yet into their own development projects quite yet.

    For me, Quantum Break exists somewhere in the 8-9 range in terms of assigning an actual number to it, if that were even possible. It does so many things well despite what could’ve ultimately ended up as an otherwise generic shooter like so many others out there. The story is both original and actually engaging, with memorable characters and talented actors truly bringing it to life and making me actually feel invested in the moment to moment action. Whether it was actually taking the time to watch each lengthy episode or play through the intermingled game portions, the entire package as a whole is a unique and lovable experience. I’ve been truly interested in some of the theories and lore ever since and would definitely love to see the brand used elsewhere even if it never comes back to gaming- it’s too much of an interesting tale to not take advantage of.    … Expand

    Quantum Break is a unique experience and one that I intend to experience again. The game takes a chance in its storytelling with the television show. While not everything in the game may land, in this day and age, seeing a AAA game take a gamble is refreshing in and of itself. Any gamer who appreciates a time travel story would do themselves a disservice in missing this game.Quantum Break is a unique experience and one that I intend to experience again.

    That apart **** this game, who the hell asked for the ''blend'' of live action and video game? guess what it doesn't **** work, the live actions are boring as **** the cutscenes where it uses the game engine are better, but not by too much, also why the hell an story focused game that has so many cutscenes, also has so many **** emails and walls of text that break immersion? if someone says those are good, well they are not and are lying to you, they are boring and not immersive, also the gameplay grows stale and boring, it doesn't have that much depth to begin with, it is mostly the same from max payne only WAY more boring and doesn't work the same way.
    there are only 3 types of enemies and tedious boss fights with not that good IA, also the enemies types are the same from Alan wake, normal not challenging soldiers, bullet sponges and dudes who teleport all over, all are uninspiring and boring.
    The scenery isn't that good, it lacks detail, all of the puzzles can be barely be called puzzles because they are barebones.
    In other words this whole game is an bad teaser for an possible Alan wake 2, this is by far the worst game from remedy, and another failure both in critical and in sales for an ex-exclusive for the xbox, don't waste your money, go and buy uncharted which was the one that actually killed quantum break, and not the contrary, or if you only have xbox, go play gears of war or sunset drive, they are far better games, the moments i laid eyes on this ''exclusive'' i knew it was gonna rekted by uncharted and also by bloodborne.    … Expand

    -boring linear based game
    -terrible story that forces you to watch real time cutscenes for 20 minutes that put you to sleep and there is a couple of these. The majority of these scenes don't add anything to the actual game
    terrible acting

    Waste of money going to this project, the story is boring, remedy and microsoft spent too much money on flamboyant and unnecessary things that makes the game not as profitable than what it should be, like making a real life movie, having flamboyant effect. The characters are known from the start, the story fail to be interesting after 2 hours of playing.

    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.

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

Even the TV show aspect was done very well, giving some characters more depth and made me more interested in the plot and world. Oh and the voice acting is fantastic, and there is lots of extra lore you can find out in the game world.

    The gameplay has some highs and lows. To start, the time powers are very fun to use. They give you them gradually throughout the game, and you can upgrade them with points you find in the game world. While that is fun, my main problem is the lack of enemy variety and weapons. There aren't even 10 guns, and all of them are standard. I would have liked more. The game could have also used another mode outside the story and possibly a new game plus with more upgrades, as once you beat the story that is really it.

    Lastly, the graphics are fantastic and the sound design is good, though nothing amazing.

    Overall a great game, though there are some flaws that Remedy could have fixed. I would recommend it though, especially with the price being lower now.    … Expand

    Game doesnt achieve Alan wakes glory with ok combat, dull story and bad graphic. Live action cutscenes are no need and looks like B movie. Environment could also be better.

    This game really hooked me to my Xbox One . The storyline is excellent . a Episodic series in a game was not a move I would recommend but in this case it worked out perfectly . This game is highly enjoyable . Using Jack Joyce's powers are so fun and addictive . Good graphics but most credit goes to the enjoyable gamepay

    A maior decepção de 2016. Eu hypei esse jogo imensamente, estava ansioso, era um dos jogos que me faria comprar um Xbox One porque certamente estava confiante que a microsoft iria investir em mais exclusivos e IPS novas. Mas fui iludido. Jogo fraco, combate fraco, abaixo das expectativas e ainda perdeu-se a exclusividade. Essa nota ainda está muito alta para um jogo desse.

    Quantum Break tries to do something new by allowing you to choose a path, a path that also decides how the live action scenes are played out. The gameplay is quite straightforward but still entertaining.

    The character models are very good and the acting is top notch to. One of the surprises of 2016 and well worth a look.

    Quantum Break is an action-adventure science fiction third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios.

    + Decent Story
    + Time Travel
    + Powers
    - The Cover Mechanics are Very Uncertain
    - You Need to See the TV Show for Understand the Story
    - Some Characters are Forgettable

    Truly a top notch game. Amazing story, atmosphere, and overall experience. The game is relatively short but I don't see that as a deal breaker. The way I look at it you can buy a dozen Camrys for the price of one Ferrari; but owning a dozen decent cars isn't quite as thrilling as driving one supercar, now is it?

    I have just not completed Quantum Break's story and have come to the conclusion that I can write a review with confidence. I may have come to this game much later than others, which means some patches and updates may have fixed some of the plentiful bugs that people are reporting. I can say with confidence that this is by far, the best story driven shooter on any Xbox.

I can say with confidence that this is by far, the best story driven shooter on any Xbox. And when I say story driven, I mean it. Avoid this game if you want Call of Duty with time powers. The player should be there for the story, and some fun gameplay along the way. The shooting mechanics are basic, but there is not much any developer can improve on a shooting model. However, the introduction of the time powers in the game adds an organic feel to classical third person shooter gameplay. The story is great and while I see much complaining about the long live action cut scenes, I personally feel that they added a nice buffer between game scenes. During long playing sessions, I was very happy to exchange my controller for a cup of ice cream while I watched the well directed and great quality show. These scenes added a fantastic layer of depth to the game world, and gave the backstory to how many characters got to certain places within the game. The game got surprisingly more difficult as the story progressed, and I found myself in pure frustration when I could not beat the final boss battle after the third try. The characters were very detailed and great to get to know, and I loved the choices the player could make.

    All in all, I would recommend this game to anyone who loves a great story and loves to go on a journey with their characters. If I could shake the hand of every developer and tell them how well of a job they did on this game, I would.    … Expand

    This is the perfect game and the best 3rd person experience I've had so far.
    There are a few things like the marketing, launch on Win10 store that resulted very bad news for the game but the game itself is just stunning!
    Remedy did an incredible job - as they did with Alan Wake, as they did at Max Payne, as they always do.

    A 10 out of 10 for me!

    Think you have to rate this game for what it is: a story experience. The TV Show is pretty much forgettable in my eyes, because you dont care about the side-characters it focuses on. But the game itself has a strong and deep story that really keeps you excited (also because of very good acting).
    The gameplay itself makes fun, but comes a little short. More gameplay would have been nice.    Think you have to rate this game for what it is: a story experience.

Otra cosa de la que me he percatado es que cada capítulo nuevo se ve mejor que el anterior, imagino que igual está hecho aposta para ir sorprendiendo e ir sacando músculo gráfico conforme vas avanzando el juego. Es un poco tedioso tener que leer y escuchar los coleccionables y los textos , que hay muchos y aportan más bien poco, y hay otros que ayudan a entender la historia. Aplaudir a remedy por arriesgarse con un juego que mezcla serie real con videojuego con bastante acierto, aplaudirlo por darnos un juego de acción original, el uso de poderes, el parar el tiempo, etc...le insufla vida al juego. Eso sí ha de mejorar en los aspectos "no combates" del juego, la parte plataformera es anecdótica y no siempre responde bien.

There is a really strange blur when character move with a ghosting effect that was pretty irritating. Unfortunately the same can't be said    Buy when on sale.

    It doesn't help that the game hasn't got a proper cover system,so instead jack bobs up and down all the time when going near cover.(it looks hilarious actually)
    The shooting is serviceable but not great the cover system doesn't work and movement is janky as hell
    Its all extremely disappointing for a game that's been in development for so long.

    I did have a decent time playing through Quantum Break. That being said it was just that decent. It was not terrible, it was not great. Everything in the actual game felt generic. Most characters are forgettable as well as the 22 minute episodes between chapters. Campaign was very short and no real replay value. It's very hard to justify the $60 price tag.

Why is that? and I was very anticipated for this title for years. Or like Hopping obstacles it just felt wonky. or trying to get control of your character or even the camera. Angry Joe had every right to review the game as he did, the only ones who think otherwise are the blind fan boys who are more fan boyish then I am, and boy don't I love my XBO.

Their are decisions you can make in the game but none of them seemed to really shift the dynamic of the overall game or make you feel like their is a consequence for choosing it.

    Show- The tv-show segment is obviously suffering from production value. The cast is great but some of the writing really kills the momentum that you created building up to these moments. The majority of the story is told through these segments and overall the story is great but gets convoluted near the end for no other reason then wanting it to be "edgy" as the ending of the game could of been created in a much more dynamic and ascertainable way.

    Overall a great game that does what it does very well, but is brought down by a poor implementation of a tv-show being used as the plot device.    … Expand

    720p in 2016??? Thx!!! I will not waste my money on this game with 2005 resolution.
    Really disappointing game, very short campaign with filler tv nonsense that adds very little to the experience. Gunplay is poor and clunky which is made worse when you are not able to use powers, no blind fire, stupid level design and cardboard characters and powers. Worst Remedy game by far, avoid.

    Having just finished this and Uncharted 4, I can safely say that this game is simply not at the same level. It has a decent story line but is a bit too short in my opinion. The gameplay is average and overall it is just not worth playing.

    No gameplay whatsoever. Even worse, the graphics look like a 360 game. The framerate constantly dips below 30 fps. There's also enough screen tearing to give you a headache. Story is laughable to say the least. Do not buy this garbage game

    The gameplay is fun and it feels really good. The only negative is the performance drop from time to time, but otherwise it's pretty amazing. Great story. TV episodes marries well with the gameplay. Graphics are the best I've seen so far in an action adventure title this gen. The FX are like none other and are just mind blowing when combined with the intense gameplay.

    I thought this is a very pleasant game, with innovative game play. Game play is followed by real film scenes with known actors. I thought it is very entertaining. The only minus is probably that the game is quite short, especially if you compare it what you pay for it. I would definitely recommend it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantum Break is an absolutely fun game. Lots of explosions, excellent story telling, and some okay time travel puzzles. But overall it is an excellent game.

    The story takes place when are main protagonist "Jack Joyce" has these powers that manipulate time and his best friend "Paul Serene" has turned against him and has seen the end of time. 17 years into the future and Paul has created this "Monarch Industries" too stop Jack from his time saving plan.

    After each act of the story you get a live action segment and overall they aren't bad and corny. Compared to "Need For Speed", Quantum Break's Live Action FMVs are more serious and less corny. They also the cutscenes that show your end of the game. Choices in this game where very difficult too choose from.

    There are also a variety of enemies including normal average joe grunts to guys who have giant f***ing shields, that can travel through the time fractures, and have rocket launchers.

    However there are also other bad things about this game. The number one complaint I have about this game is the checkpoint system is terrible. When you die, you may get sent too almost an entire section that you already completed. Another bad this is the FMVs are streamed. Meaning that if you have a bad internet connection you'll experience buffering problems. Another more thing that bothers me is the real time cutscenes are not skippable. And another final thing is the puzzles. These only show once or twice and they aren't all that fun.

    Pros:
    Graphics
    FMVs
    Gameplay is fun
    Excellent Story Telling

    Cons:
    Boring Puzzles
    Fustrating Checkpoint System
    Unskippable Cutscenes

The concept alone was enough to hook me but knowing Remedy Entertainment was at the helm meant it had potential to be something truly special. Alan Wake was one of my favourite games of the last generation; this is a developer that knows how to make creative, story driven experiences like nobody else. I’ve learnt over the years that great anticipation can at times lead to great disappointment but would this be the case here or would Quantum Break turn out to be what I had hoped for and maybe more?

    Quantum Break is an action-adventure science fiction third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios. The game features Jack Joyce, the main protagonist, trying to stop Paul Serene, a close friend and Monarch Solutions CEO, from enforcing the End of Time after a failed time-machine experiment, which gives Jack time manipulation powers.

    Due to miscalculations by Paul Serene, a time travel experiment goes wrong. Doused in chronon radiation, the material that makes time travel possible, protagonist Jack Joyce and antagonist Paul Serene are granted time-based abilities. Both can freeze time and move at higher speeds, whilst a higher dose of chronons means Serene can see into the future to decide which choices to make in the present. Additionally, the collapse of the machine damages the structure of time, causing a “fracture” that means it sporadically freezes for all without time-travel abilities or the correct equipment. Joyce and his ally, Beth Wilder are pursued by Monarch Solutions, a corporation founded by Serene. The game enforces the rule that time travel cannot be used to alter the past.

    Throughout the game you’ll hit “junction points” between acts, these serve as sections in which you’ll make choices that will not only affect the state of the game but the direction of the integrated live-action TV show as well. The show features the actual actors of the characters, interacting with the player’s choices, displaying the outcome of the choices made.

    Players can use a variety of firearms, as well as their time-manipulating powers to defeat enemies in the game. Joyce can stop time temporarily, allowing him to escape from attacks or freeze enemies, unleash a “Time Blast”, which is an offensive projectile, and reverse the direction of bullets.

    Quantum Break is quite possibly the most unique console video game experience on the market at the moment. Not only is it visually impressive but it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before in terms of the effects used throughout. Witnessing time bend, stutter and stop around you creates an environment like no other.

    The motion capture used and the actors performances is as well done as you could possibly hope for.

    Remedy Entertainment are masters at creating a compelling narrative and with this game, that hasn’t changed. The story is dramatic yet thrilling in all the ways a game about time travel should be. When dealing with time travel, you leave yourself open to potential plot errors and while there are many twists and turns along the way, thankfully it’s executed with a lot of thought and care. You’re introduced to a number of different characters and while some get much more screen time than others, I enjoyed each of their individual storylines.

    One of the most commonly asked questions about Quantum Break isn’t about the game itself, it’s about the TV show and whether it’s any good or not. The show is split into 4 episodes which are each roughly 20 minutes long so it’s not too long overall unfortunately. I enjoyed the show, it has high production value and all the actors involved give decent performances. The ways in which it’s integrated with the game is what is truly special here and it’s achieved with fine precision. While the choices you make are limited, they make a noticeable impact on the game and show which is satisfying. I think what is truly disappointing is that none of the choices you make leaving any impact on the final outcome; it leaves your decisions feeling fairly pointless ultimately. Still, I’d definitely be up for more games using this interesting format in the future.

    While I do think you’re given access to all of your abilities way too quickly in the game, it’s exciting to be let loose on the battlefield with them at your disposal. It’s extremely responsive, reacting to your every move in exactly the way you want it to. One of my major concerns about the game was difficultly, how can you be given such power and still make it a challenge. The game isn’t hard, even on hard mode you’ll only suffer a handful of deaths which could annoy some.    … Expand

And i feel as though the TV aspect is well executed, and adds a lot to the overall story because you get to see the villains side of the story, which are necessarily the "bad guys". The actors are well played, and the production values were solid, with only some scenes feeling fake, while some scenes felt really cheesy, it was kept to a minimum.

    The gameplay is quick, and snappy, with the time powers really making you feel like a boss, and as you Learn new skills, you begin to learn new ways around the combat. Although the shooting mechanics, and cover system are average, they work fine in tandem with the time power mechanics. on top of this is the fact that throughout the levels is notes, and audio-logs that add to the story, however i wished that some of the more important stuff was left to the cut-scenes/show. The one big disappointment was the boss battle, which felt tacked on and was poorly designed,

    The graphics were pleasant, with this being a smooth looking game, with no noticeable frame rate drops, or bugs, at-least in my experience.

    Overall i feel as though Quantum Break is a great game that gets a lot right, and all while taking a big risk merging TV with video games. and i feel as though it was a success.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
