If you are looking for something different, and are sick of playing games like COD, Mario, Zelda, or other IP franchises that are getting boring and repetitive, than I highly recommend you check out Remedy and Microsoft's new game!… Expand

The acting is top notch, every actor really bought in and treated every seen as if it were an actual movie or TV show. The time powers were very fun to use. I played on hard and rarely stayed behind cover as running around and using all of the powers was much more fun. Also the last boss battle was actually a challenge (on hard) and felt very rewarding to beat. I would have given this game a 9.5 if that were possible due to the graphics being slightly compromised by the lack of 1080p and difficulty streaming a few episodes, which were the only issues I encountered.… Expand

    I recently finished this game, for me it was a good game, good story and good gameplay. The series settle so good for the game with the series you can go deeper in the history. you need to read a lot to understand the history, its not a 10 game but i recommend it.

    I am going to start off by saying I am not one of those people, which was waiting for this game to come out.

Quantum Break does a lot of things very well but also has some lack luster moments. So firstly for most people the reason they bought Quantum breakI am going to start off by saying I am not one of those people, which was waiting for this game to come out. The reason I bought it was for the fact I was looking for a game with a very compelling narrative as well as unique gameplay mechanics. Quantum Break does a lot of things very well but also has some lack luster moments. So firstly for most people the reason they bought Quantum break was for the story and the story is absolutely amazing. Honestly I would go as far to say that it has one of the best story driven narrative games of all time. The story has a very tight narrative plot so there are very few to no plot holes throughout the story. The live action TV series, that revolves around the decisions you make in the game is a really unique experience, but I wish they would’ve focused on the main characters more so than focus a secondary narrative, but all comes together towards the end. The gameplay is very unique and I can see where people are on the fence about the quality and time, that felt lacking on the gameplay side of the game. Quantum Break is unique, because of “super-natural” powers that the main character acquires very early into the game. Yes, the super natural mechanic works very well, but I wished they would flushed it out to a greater extent, because the gunplay itself is very generic and feels like a AA then a AAA title to that extent and could have benefited from a convential cover system like gears of war. The pace of the game is okay at best, because a lot of the narrative is hidden within the games collectibles, which are scattered all over the game like Halloween candy. Yes, I love reading all the of the insights about the games characters, because it gave them more depth and complexity. The main problem is that these logs kill the pacing of the game, because I felt obligated to read these logs and some of them contained 3-4 paragraphs of information and since most of the collectibles are typically in close promixty to one another or 2-3 per area the pacing gets really slowed down. Yes you can ignore the collectibles all together but after reading a majoirity of the collectibles I wouldve given this game a lower rating because the story may be considered lack luster. So all in all the game is very unique and provides a very compelling story. The main gripes I have are the repetiive combat scenarios and generic shooting mechanics. The story could of been told in a tighter package but I would definitely reccomend this game to anyone that is looking for a very unique story. I look forward to replaying this game in the future and see how different decisions in the game effect the story as well as finding the rest of the very well thought out collectibles.… Expand

    This has been done so much better before in a game called Singularity. This game has excellent acting and an o.k. story but very little game play. The fact that you have to stand totally still and look at the speaker to hear the dialogue is game delaying and annoying. The game is ridiculously short for what we pay for games now. Not anywhere near a masterpiece as some are calling it.

    It's a good game as a shooter (the covert system is useless however, you need to keep moving), but requires a huge amount of time (ironically) to read and see all the things needed to understand the story, and has some weird gameplay design choices: I can jump on a truck, but not on the truck a few meters away because is the one the block my path, or I can open this door rewind the time,It's a good game as a shooter (the covert system is useless however, you need to keep moving), but requires a huge amount of time (ironically) to read and see all the things needed to understand the story, and has some weird gameplay design choices: I can jump on a truck, but not on the truck a few meters away because is the one the block my path, or I can open this door rewind the time, but I can do it only there, all the other doors in the game stay closed. For my tastes it's too scripted and some time powers are actually magic powers, since I don't see how time can cause blast explosions of allow you to see through walls. Also the few puzzles ask you to simply press a button when standing in a scripted position and then run... Timeshift and Braid use the time in a better and less scripted way.
    You'll like it if you like heavily scripted, story-driven games filled with an insane amount of collectibles needed to be read in order to understand the story... and no absolute replay value.    … Expand

Como negativos, achei muito curto, pouco desafiador, além de notar algumas quedas de quadro. O interessante é que sua decisão é importante para o desenrolar do jogo o que possibilita jogar 2x com diferentes narrativas.

    Desde que salio a la venta Alan Wake, tengo que decir que me gusto muchísimo la forma en la que Remedy desarrolla sus videojuegos, por que sentía que jugaba con una serie televisiva que poco a poco me adentraba en su historia.

    quantum_break_jack_joyce

    Quantum Break es la evolución de este tipo de narración, una apuesta nueva donde la idea es que de verdad, sientas que lo que juegas, repercute en la historia y sus personajes; si bien a muchos no les podría llamar la atención que después de unas 2 hrs de juego, ver 20 min de una serie televisiva, siempre esta el botón para pasarnos estos elementos, pero la idea en general, es ver que tanto los juegos, como la televisión, pueden funcionar a la perfección.

    NARRATIVA

    No quisiera arruinar mucho de la historia, así que les contare solo los primeros 15 min; básicamente la historia narra un conflicto entre Jack Joyce (Shawn Ashmore) y Paul Serene (Aidan Gillen), donde Paul invita a Jack a asistirlo en su ultimo invento. Una maquina capaz de controlar el tiempo. Pero no todo sale bien en la prueba de este invento, la maquina del tiempo inicia a fallar, generando una explosión en la que Jack queda atrapado y es donde el tiempo inicia a colapsar, y es aquí, donde poco a poco y debido a esa explosión, nuestro héroe inicia a tener poderes que afectan el tiempo.

    quantum-break-screenshot

    El juego en su mayoría es narrado por Jack, contándonos conforme conoces nuevos personajes, o te encuentras en nuevas situaciones, sobre lo que pensaba en ese momento, lo que sentía, logrando que podamos empatizar con el a lo largo de esta aventura.

    Después de acabar dos actos por capitulo, el tercero, se nos dará una elección que cambiara el desarrollo de la historia y de la serie televisiva. Hasta ahora, no he tenido la oportunidad de ver cuanto cambia una decisión una de otra, pero si puedo asegurar con certeza que durante cada capitulo -en el que vemos la situación del lado de los “villanos” del juego- es emocionante, en lo personal sentía que veía un capitulo muy bueno de una serie de Netflix cada vez que salían.

    GAMEPLAY

    El modo de juego, es un típico Shooter en tercera persona con habilidades o super poderes como extra, realmente en gameplay no es algo que revolucione el genero, pero eso no quiere decir que sea malo, sino todo lo contrario, Jack es bastante responsivo en cada una de sus acciones, la IA la sentí a buen nivel de un juego de este genero, poniente en algunos aprietos en mas de una ocasión. Eso si, en lo que siento que falla a ratos y que parchen a futuro de leer esta review, es el sistema de cobertura, que algunas veces no es tan fácil lograr cubrirte de los enemigos.

    watch-more-than-16-minutes-of-commented-quantum-break-gameplay

    Pero lo que hace a Quantum Break tan llamativo en este apartado, son los poderes de control temporal, donde el Xbox One muestra su poder creando distorsiones en escenarios, objetos, etc. Estas distorsiones son una especie de ondas que deforman el ambiente, y que según Remedy, esta clase de efectos consumen muchísimos recursos de la memoria por lo que se debió sacrificar algo de definición para lograrlo -que por cierto, a los “críticos” usuarios de Metacritic que se meten solo para darle mala publicidad o basan su calificación en “no corre a 1080”, recordar que esto es un videojuego y una nueva propuesta en narración, la definición no crea un juego de vídeo-.

    Y cuando no estas en los momentos de acción, tal vez la parte mas floja del juego, es resolver una serie de puzzles bastantes sencillos usando las habilidades de Jack, esto agregando o queriendo que sea algo mas plataforma, se agradece la intención, pero la sentí muy tímida, ya que no representar una dificultad real en algo donde pudo ser mas satisfactorio el jugar.

    CONCLUSION

    9-02

    Quantum Break resulto ser un experimento no solo de un juego, sino de una experiencia audio-visual completa, dando excelentes resultados al producto final, y brindando al jugador, una muy buena historia y un juego bastante entretenido, y si eres de los que les gusta ver todas las posibilidades, QB ofrece varias oportunidades de re jugablidad y de elementos a encontrar para entender toda la historia y guiños que el equipo de Remedy puso dentro.

    Quantum Break starts slowly and with a hint of mystery and steadily builds in both story tension and pace over the course of the entire game.

    The visuals are fantastic with small shortcomings in mid resolution shadows and a slight ghosting effect thats rarely noticed caused by the temporal anti aliasing. the sound design and vocal performances are also phenomenal. Gameplay is also absolutely on point. Alan Wake was somewhat of a let down in the gameplay dept as it never evolved over time (no pun intended) but Quantum Break keeps changing as you move forward. You gain new abilities and you level up those abilities.

    There is tons of story in this game. Finding emails or objects not only add to the in game story and fill in some history and motivations they also alter the live action scenes you watch so not everyone will see the same thing every time. How much of the story and what story you get are entirely up to you.

    These story objects are easily tracked in the menu and you can go back to any point in the game to find something you missed or do something in a different way.

    Overall a fantastic game that I can see myself playing multiple times.    … Expand

    Instead, they seemed to use most of their focus to create an episode series inside the game, that show up between the chapters, using real actors playing the characters roles. However...i don't think it's a great idea to ask us to stop playing and watch a show that last about 20 minutes each episode. Need to be an Oscar material to justify and it's not. I didn't care much about the characters and the story, so i skipped most of it without any remorse.

    So, the time gimmick and the series, both the differential of Quantum Break among the other third person action games, don't work the way they were supposed to. The rest is the same usual shooting sequences a la Uncharted and Max Payne, but not as fun as them.

    In conclusion, i think Quantum Break It's an ok game, never bad and never great, just an ok experience during all its short less than 10 hours campaign, with a enormous wasted potential. My first disappointment of 2016.    … Expand

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.

    Sin hacer spoiler, diré que el juego en si, desde un principio te deja claro que más que un juego, es una experiencia, al grado de llegar a ser como una película.

    El gameplay del juego es bueno, un tanto confuso pero que terminaras amando con forme le des uso. El sistema de cobertura es, al igual que el #Tomb Raider", un sistema de cobertura automático, y si bien cumple su función, llega a fallar un poco, y en algunas zonas las texturas fallan o incluso llegan a haber edificios que no terminan de aparecer, pero nada que llegue a arruinar la experiencia, o nada que con un parche se arregle.

    La variedad de armas y poderes le dan un ritmo seguro al juego, con momentos de acción que si bien, no son demasiado épicos, cumplen con mantenerte al tope de la adrenalina.

    La historia es maravillosa, y si eres de los que gustan de teorías del tiempo, la disfrutaras, además, el juego cuenta con episodios de la serie live action, que brindan más y enriquecen la historia.

    Como juego, cumple, como experiencia, es sobresaliente, si buscas un juego con buena historia que te haga pasar un buen rato, este es tu juego.

    Bought it out of curiosity. Nothing special at all. Basically hype. Rise of the Tomb Raider I bought the season pass today and give it a 10/10 and am playing through it again. This is about a 5 compared. Sometimes they throw in a stupid idiotic no brainer puzzle which only stops the immersion.

    I've played about half way, put it down the other day and no urge to pick it up again. It's not addictive. Not compelling at all. Just very 'gimmicky' and a novelty until it wears off.

    Puzzles seem like filler not real intelligent puzzles. The upgrade tree is nothing like To,b Raider or Witcher 3. Just a token upgrade of powers and thry tend to get boring after a while.

    You feel like you're in God mode. Nothing challenging.

    Maybe it's just me but this game did nothing for me, didn't addict or captivate me or even make we want to go back to it. The puzzles were so pathetic it would have been better not to have any.

    Graphics nothing special. Can't really recommend it over the latest Assassins Creed or Tomb Raider as they are top notch games with plenty to do. This seems very linear and scripted to the point it feels very, very short. Not worth the price of admission. I would get Far Cry Primal over this as there's a lot more to do. This half simple Simon shooter, half simple Simon story doesn't really do it for me. If that changes I'll come back and give it higher but for now I'm disappointed. It doesn't do any one thing well.

    Nothing done really well except the hype.    … Expand

    Was so looking forward to Quantum Break but after reading the reviews thought I was going to be let down, but I wasn't. I am very sad it is now over and will need to replay. Great story, great action and whilst there are some shortcomings, it does not dampen the enjoyment.

    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.

    I'm a really big fan of Remedy's games, but I feel slightly let down by Quantum Break. Not an awful game by any stretch of the imagination, but the gameplay is really formulaic and the gunfights are uninspired. The story isn't awful, it's well enough written, but it isn't great, and it's all very predictable. I can forgive the game the odd rough graphical glitches, but in terms of gameplayI'm a really big fan of Remedy's games, but I feel slightly let down by Quantum Break.

    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]
