    What a joke of a game.....like the most majority games from console world....and again what makes you think you can play fluently on pc...honestly...where have you seen ever a good port from consoles ?...it doesn't by far even worth it....games are not what used to be anymore...i guess the bad marketing and bad ideas will bury the pc platform, btw.....in conclusion.....pfff.....give me a break...

    Quantum Break is a game about time travel and it tells the story of time travel very well between game and TV show, so overall the story is well done especially with the choice system opening the door to multiple playthroughs, no problems there.

The gameplay is solid minus the platforming sections which can be full of glitches sometimes, the power abilities are extremely fun to use and i found using the weapons to be less fun.

    Overall in my opinion Remedy delivers yet another well made game, Quantum Break will not be for everyone, the game relies on narrative and the ability to listen, if the only thing you can play is COD you might want to avoid this gem.

    So....

    Solid story albeit a tad confusing on the first play-through, and the choice system adds longevity to the game, great cast of characters and the use of the time powers is a joy to behold and a lot of fun, but some awkward platforming sections and clunky controls can hinder what is an otherwise excellent game.

    the game is simply amazing. The graphical effects with the time abilities is INSANE! A must have for all Xbox and PC owners. The game can last from 10-20 hours so it does not overstay its welcome.

    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.

I purchased Quantum Break because the marketing leading up to the game was intriguing and I liked the idea of the cinematic portions between acts.

    The game itself flows smoothly, has great visuals, pace, acting, and much more. I find the combat challenging without being overly so, and I enjoy that the narrative strips out some of the knitty gritty parts of the story that wouldn't be too fun to play (as in, you're basically playing the most important parts of the story). Generally I find that many games force you to travel around menially and have too many side quests and branching story lines. I appreciate when a gameplay experience is curated for me and that wins tons of bonus points for Quantum Break.

    Based on my experience I'm pretty sure all types of players will enjoy this game. The story is engaging, gameplay intense, and I'm pleased with the whole package. Definitely recommended.

    Awesome, ambitious, captivating, amazing-looking truly next-gen experience by good folks from Remedy. I recommend anyone with an Xbox One console to own this game at some point. I still don't understand why would someone give any game a score of "zero". Unless those greedy bastards at Gamespot were trying to sabotage the game following their preconceived negative agenda.

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. Wait for a sale or rent it if such a thing is still possible. Expand

    I like games and tv series. Both is combined in QB in a great way. Playing and following the story gave me a good time. It you are looking for a big open-world with millions of things to search for - this is not your game. But if you like story and a good shooter with nice special abilities- manupulating time - give this game a try.

    After playing and LOVING Alan Wake and Max Payne I had high hopes for this game. The acting is good to very good and the writing, while decent, is not the same caliber as previous games. The lore in the game is conveyed by optional content and its actually FRUSTRATINGLY uneven - some passages are LONG while others are very short - and most of it would have been better conveyed through some sort of cut scene. However with the live action sections taking up 75.4 GB and being streamed I can understand why some of this became wall of text exposition instead of a cut scene.

    The game is moderate length (10 to 12 hours depending on how much you explore) but shorter than I had hoped. The game play is decent but not really all that innovative.

    Graphics, music and sound are top notch and the story is engaging, but not as well done as previous Remedy projects.

    Overall its a good game and although I am really irritated with the final boss battle, it is well made but the replay value is low for me. This is a game that is worth playing but I would say, if you haven't bought it already, to wait for it to go on sale - unless you really need something to fill in the last gaps before Uncharted 4 and Dark Souls 3.

    The real star of Quantum Break is its story telling. The depth of story in Quantum Break is better than you get with most video games, it is more comparably to a good Netflix series. Infact, playing through Quantum Break feels a lot like binge watching your favorite show online. This is due mostly to that episodes that play in between every act in the game. After you complete an act you'll be presented with a 30 minute live action episode. The concept works incredibly well to gives the story more depth than a game will typically provide.
    Gamers who covet solid gameplay and tight controls might be a little disappointed with Quantum break. However, gamers who prefer an engaging story to move their games along will be hooked.

    Before I start, I'll tell you to just ignore the negative reviews. Do you notice how they all look they were written by toddlers, and how the positive reviewers are well thought-out and actually know what they're talking about? Anywaaaaaays...

    I'll start with the actual game mechanics and core parts of the game. The gunplay was super tight, to the point where I had to turn down my sensitivity because my shots would go wide by meters if I were trying to fight quickly. It may not be for everyone, but I love the fact that it actually requires a good bit of effort to fight. I'll just say that the time powers are awesome, creatively integrated throughout the many aspects of the game, and just completely badass. The graphics made me squeak a bit, even though I'm a scrub that plays on a 1080i television screen, with awesome animations, immense attention to detail, and creative, beautiful set pieces.

    I won't go too in-depth on the story, so you can experience it for yourself, but it was really well done! Creative, well thought-out, good dialogue, the whole shebang. All of those are only strengthened by the performances, especially on the part of Shawn Ashmore. I liked how they used the Novikov self-consistency principle (I'm a theoretical physics major) to explain how the story, while seemingly branching out to what could have been different outcomes, eventually all have the same ending. (The principle states that, in simple terms, if someone were to travel back in time, 'history' would find a way to keep the future on track, and keep the same outcome, even if there are slight variations along the way). I like it when developers have reasons for their choices, even if it was to allow them to limit the story.

    Overall, I think the game is great, and I would recommend it to anyone that's interested.

    In general the game is really well polished as well. It lacks glitchs and runs very well on my Xbox One

    As far as flaws go they are small. As said above the platforming sections are boring and hard due to controls, the TV episodes love to buffer, and there is an occasional cheesy moment or hurried plot line. But compared to the excellent game play and amazing story-these are slight flaws and do not detract from an otherwise awesome experience.

Climbing up a further level is a royal pain in the backside as in some areas you need to find the "sweet spot" before Jack will climb up a level. As for the dialogue - I'm no prude but do the actors really have to say F*&k so much?

    Negatives aside - I'm loving the story and the attempt to marry video game and live action TV show should be applauded and not criticized. Remedy, like with Alan Wake (sequel please), succeed in telling a great story and letting the player participate in it. I just wish more of it was left for the player to actually "do" rather than just "watch".

    im having a blast with this game although i wish it was longer. really hoping there will be added dlc later on along the line. alot of the negative reviews are biased. mostly PS fans coming here to give it the negative score but can turn around and something like street fighter a 10. pay attention. i suggest playing the game for yourself

    This game is way too good!
    Fancy graphics, awesome storytelling and good-looking characters.
    Never miss the film between episodes, it helps getting you know about the story.
    Extremely good job, Remedy!

    A very ambitious video game that tries to blend together two genres, TV and Video Game, into a action packed 3rd person shooter. The TV show, to my surprise, was actually very well done.

The gameplay feels amazing when you use your time powers. Don't play it like a cover shooter, getting up and taking pot shots, that isn't going to work here. Using your powers allow you to zip across the allotted fighting ground and pull off very satisfying kills. This game has its faults but damn, I really loved it.

Unfortunately, Quantum Break is easily the worst game Remedy has ever developed. First off, the shooting and time manipulation mechanics in Quantum Break are surprisingly boring. All of those great exaggerated physics seen in Max Payne 2 were replaced with scripted death animations. You're forced to use a sloppy auto-cover mechanics. The time manipulation mechanics (Briefly freeze time in a small an area, bubble shield, dash, and Assassin's Creed esque vision mode) are less satisfying than Max Payne's bullet time in 2001. The narrative is very campy and short. It lacks the self awareness of Twin Peaks and Alan Wake. Do not buy. Do not rent. Avoid. Expand

The live action tv show, yes, tv show, that's why it is so long, was pretty good. I'd say it had about the same, or a little less quality than some of the Netflix originals. The gameplay was phenomenal in my opinion. It flowed well, although at first may seem weird. I was originally trying to play the game like a cover third person shooter, which it isn't that exactly. You have to play smartly. Cons: like most other people, I thought you got all of your powers way too early. It makes the fights later on tedious and feel too familiar. The graphics, while most of the time looking awesome, can sometimes just look weird, but that might just be me. The last thing is that I feel it was a tad short, but still worth it to me. It was roughly around 6-7 hours. Overall, like I put above, I'd give this an 8. It's not a console seller, but I want it in my xbox collection. If you're into science fiction time travel stories, I'd recommend this! Remedy, so far, you've kept this fan happy! Expand

    Quantum Break is the type of game I have been waiting to play for a while now; a linear third person shooter that tells an engrossing story, with interesting characters from start to finish of its 10-12 hour campaign. Quantum Break is also quite possibly the prettiest game on Xbox One, with its glorious lighting effects, top notch texture quality and character models.
    Game play wise, the game is third person shooter that gives you control of Jack Joyce, a brother of a time travel inventor called Will Joyce, and best friend of Paul Serene who leads a company called Monarch Solutions, who are thought to be preparing for the end of time thanks to a fracture in time at the beginning of the game. During combat, Jack has an array of time powers to manipulate and take down enemies within gunplay, that feel satisfying and responsive.
    The audio department is also noticeably deep and well developed, as guns sound positively powerful and mechanical to use. Voice acting and performances in the game and TV episodes also feel believable and totally engaging, which help to elevate tension in the story.

    The only problems I encountered in my play through was the lack of lock on cover in combat, and occasional frame rate hiccups in cut scenes.

    Overall, Quantum Break is a must buy console exclusive for Xbox One. It looks stellar, plays solidly throughout and is well written and paced. 9/10

However, the only reason I have not given this game a perfect score is due to its ending, although by the time I put down my controller after completion I felt satisfied, it gave me the outcome I was hoping for and left a hint for a sequel or DLC but the aspect of choosing at these junctions through out the game and seeing how different they are, it in no way changes the outcome of the game, not even in the slightest. But other than that it holds up well kept me playing, for me it was a decent length, took me around 9-10 hours on normal, including the TV that was acted well with great cinematography. All in all the game is a solid 9/10 and hope to see future remedy games in this universe once again, but I could do with another Alan Wake too though so keep at it Remedy! Expand

    If you're a fan of Remedy's past work, Quantum Break delivers. With more in common with Max Payne than Alan Wake, Quantum Break's time powers remind me of bullet time taken to a new level. Mixing both gameplay elements of old and new, it's the perfect combination of what made their past games special while bringing new things to the table.

    Im so frustraded and disappointed with this game, its an low-medium quality game, but i thought it would be a masterpiece, i was wrong. The series is boring, the game is boring, the soundtrack is medium quality, you only keep taking papers and giving shots in dumb enemies, its so easy and soooo boring. The word that represents this game is "BORING", don't buy, but if you really want to,Im so frustraded and disappointed with this game, its an low-medium quality game, but i thought it would be a masterpiece, i was wrong.

    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]
