    great game, great graphics, I would love to see this game become an IP with yearly games :)
    While it is not perfect, I do see the potential and what effort they did until now and I have to admit that it is a great game.

    Best looking Nissan commercial yet. I can understand the use of Windows Phone placement in the game but the Nissan vehicles and ads and car chase scenes results in too much in-game advertising
    Confusing controls and unnecessary profanity mars an otherwise entertaining game.

    Muy buen juego. Bastante entretenido. Unos graficos muy bonito. Muy buen apartado sonoro, muy conseguido el ruido de las armas. La serie muy etretenida y un buen complemento a las historia del juego.

    Un videojuego fantástico, donde os meteréis de lleno en una historia inolvidable, uno de los mejores exclusivos de XBOX y un excelente trabajo de nuevo por parte de Remedy studios

    This is some of the best story telling I've ever seen in a video game. I absolutely love the live action movie sequences that are mixed into the gameplay. If you are looking for a a game with an amazing story and a lot of detail then this is a game for you. The gameplay itself is nothing amazing but it is still very enjoyable and fun to play.

    juego entretenido, temática interesante del manejo del tiempo, visualmente bastante vistoso, no da jalones, frams por segundo estables, la inteligencia artificial como que entorpece a los enemigos a ratos

    Worst idea ever to make this instead of Alan Wake 2. AW was awesome game and sequel could be great. Quantum Break is not even fun! Graphics is really good but that's all this game have. Gameplay is boring with bad controls. Remedy, go to work and do something playable!!!!

    sem duvida o jogo é um dos melhores do ano, com uma narrativa diferenciada jogo bem feito um sistema de combate envolvente e desafiador , uma serie embutida no game que casa certinho com o jogo.

    Story is well narrated. Gameplay is awesome. Paul serene's choice is a good idea, TV series is well integrated and the actors are good enough to watch till the end. Isn't boring. Graphics is excellent to see when the time stop in stasis. Unfortunately game is short and you have to read too many information in collectables.
    Very enjoyable game 8.1/100

    -very game mechanics
    -average shooter that can't even get the shooting mechanics down right
    -gameplay is very buggy
    -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
    -720p game. overall terrible game

    Jogo sensacional e alguns pontos inovadores,nota 10
    De um modo geral o jogo é bom. Como ponto positivo do jogo, aponto os bons gráficos e a boa jogabilidade. 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.

    Wonderful storytelling. Great acting and graphics (better than Witcher 3). Not the game for those who just want to shoot and run. If you're like me and enjoy a thrilling story and some high level science fiction, this game is for you.

    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.

    quantum-break-bullets_0

    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. Altamente recomendable si tienes un Xbox One o una PC y te invitamos a que nos compartas tu experiencia con este titulo.    … Expand

    I 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 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

    So Quantum Break is a game/tv-show....?...Yes that's what is, I swear I am not trolling! The game is divided up into chapters/episodes where you play out the events of the story using your time manipulation powers, after which instead of a cutscene you are treated to an actual episode of "Quantum Break" So I will divide my review in two!

    Game- The game itself is very enjoyable, it is a great shooter that also gives you some great abilities to force throw/ force warp and so much more. The game based segments are pretty linear that are typical groups of enemies that you kill, small puzzle, another group then maybe a :boss" fight. 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

    I honestly can't see why this game has a rating of under 80. It's amazing. It's been a while since the last good story-focused 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.

    Wonderful story, wonderful series, wonderful actors and wonderful acting. Quantum Break is clearly a game with the print quality of Remedy . Sam Lake always surprising in their games. Max Payne, Alan Wake and now Quantum Break, a game that is more than I expected, and hit me full on a subject that I like (the time).
    It deserves its place on the VGA? I have no doubt of that.

    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.

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.

    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]
