    We had to wait and wait some more but finally everyone can experience Quantum Break. It has become another Remedy succes and I hope it finds a way to many gamers hearts. It really deserves that.

    Phenomenal game. Beautiful graphics, amazing character likenesses, a time travel story that actually makes sense, fun (albeit limited) combat that makes you feel like a superhero, and a really great TV show woven in. I absolutely loved this game. Even the collectibles were interesting to read.

    I really loved this game, im thinking about re-playing it a lot, but i have to admit that it isn't perfect, well, the story is perfect, but there are some technical issues, and one thing that really made me sad was the changes they did from the beginning in 2013, like the scene from the first trailer, the one the older actor says "im not gonna hurt you but i cant let you go".

This scene was so intense, but now in the final release it is not memorable as it was before, because that scene has been in my head for the last 3 years, and they ruined it :(. Whatever, the game is still awesome and i do recommend. It is a Max Payne 3 style of game, short, but you want to play it many times.… Expand

    Me parece una excelente historia, y me gusto mucho el formato de incluir una serie como complemento. Jugablemente muy pulido y no he notado problemas de bugs u otros errores. Un juego imprescindible en mi opinión.

    Pleasantly surprised by this game; I pre-ordered it because 2016 has been horrible for new games for me..and the rest of the year ain't shaping up any better.

I didn't read enough into how the "live" part was being handled and thought it would be ridiculous; gotta say, I loved it. The animation is so life like I was 3 minutes into the first live episode before I realized it was actual actors......very well done. I also liked the insight the live sections provided into the story...and I am normally the "skip this" button masher.

    As to the game. The combat overall was enjoyable; as a standalone shooter this would have been a major fail as the variety of weapons and their differentiation was very limited; but add in the time powers and the combat was quite fluid and satisfying....if a little on the easy side on Normal....which personally, I ain't complaining about :)

    Pic quality hits a few rough parts but by and large is excellent.

    While I can't remember the last game I played that was under 20 hours, I was less disappointed than I thought I would be, because.....

    The true strength of this game is the storytelling....dear lord I found this amazing. All the characters were extremely well fleshed out, to the point I can't think of a game that comes close. Particular kudos to whomever wrote for Beth.....the diary entries were the best writing I have ever seen in a video game!!    … Expand

    Soy Usuario de Xbox One y Ps4. Quantum Break es un gran juego y lo mas importante, muy diferente a lo visto hasta ahora. Aquí solo depende si te gusta o no el genero. A mi personalmente se me ha echo aburrido.
    Aún así invito a probarlo a todo el mundo. Hay que jugarlo.

    Great story, average gameplay, cool time powers, not so good covers system (chrouching like in last of us would be much better) + annoying final boss. Dear Remedy, give us Alan Wake 2 already, plaese!

    Quantum Break is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I play a few games a year (most recently Rise of the Tomb Raider) and am pretty selective on what I play given that I don't have tons of time.

I play a few games a year (most recently Rise of the Tomb Raider) and am pretty selective on what I play given that I don't have tons of time. 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.    … 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.

    Amazing game. Spectacular. Story, screenplay, etc. are amazing. I don't remember another game like this one. If you read another note below 8 ignore it. It's a hater. QB is an incredible game. Every one should enjoy something like this.

    Una mecánica innovadora pero que se podría haber aprovechado más.
    Aún así la historia está muy bien, aunque su duración es más bien corta.
    Un juego con mucho estilo y originalidad y que la Xbox One necesitaba.

    Quantum Break, propone una historia bantante complicada y entretenida, el viaje en el tiempo nunca se habia visto de esta manera en un video juego, me ha encantado la historia, los personajes.

    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.

    IF you like 3rd person shooters with puzzles and a good story you are gonna liked.
    But if you like Time Travel too you are gonna love this game, the mechanics are little strange but later you will get used to, and the story is short.

    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]
