With its amazing story, innovative mechanics and impressive graphics, it is a game that deserves to be experienced by every Xbox One owner.

    The way in which narrative is presented, using traditional cutscenes and a live-action TV series that is affected by the choices you take throughout the game, is something that has never been seen before in any game of any genre. While the TV series is not necessary to understand the main story of the game, it complements it greatly by deepening on the characters and providing additional information that will allow a better understanding of Quantum Break. The story is absolutely fantastic and intriguing, capable of keeping anyone hooked, as the pace is excellent, and combined with its stunning visuals, it will leave the player wanting more all the way through the end.

    The gameplay is also good, there’s enough enemy variety, and it's clear Remedy Entertainment knew how to take advantage of the time-controlling aspect of the game to make its mechanics feel fresh. There’s not a lot of weapon variety, which may result in a more null experience. However, the character special abilities do make up for that.

    Quantum Break is a game that deserves a lot more recognition and I personally hope that Microsoft Studios and Remedy Entertainment analyze the possibility of developing a sequel, as this is one of the new Xbox exclusive franchises with the most potential out there. This is a must-play title for those that love excellent storytelling and fun gameplay.    … Expand

    Quantum Break (on Xbox One X or High End PC)

    The good: Enveloping story, an argument that catches you at first. Facial capture and movement very well achieved. Very high level face capture. Physics and trajectories of sublime captured objects (it is a total visual impact). In chrono and temporal fracture events, the amount of particles and rendering effects are impressive. Difficulty    Quantum Break (on Xbox One X or High End PC)

    The good:
    Enveloping story, an argument that catches you at first. Facial capture and movement very well achieved. Very high level face capture. Physics and trajectories of sublime captured objects (it is a total visual impact). In chrono and temporal fracture events, the amount of particles and rendering effects are impressive. Difficulty selector (personally I recommend playing it in difficult). The shootings are satisfactory. Ability to improve powers. The AI ​​of the special forces is very advanced, raising strategies, flanking you and forcing you out of coverage. Monarch agents escalate in danger and lethality as the game progresses even generating countermeasures to stop you and creating devices to stop you as annulment devices and chronon grenades that counteract your powers to stop you giving you a lot of challenge and allowing you to be creative and at the same time cautious with your abilities. Many collectibles and the timeline lets you know where one has gone. The patch X of improvement 4K leaves you with the square mouth (this is one of the games that you must play if or if on an Xbox One X and already if you can on a TV4K). "Easy" achievements. It is in Game Pass. Do not miss the series or the temporary events that you can modify in the series and the video game and vice versa.

    The bad:
    Short game, leaves you wanting more. The game-series experiment may not like many. The variety of weapons is poor. The AI, however advanced, shouts orders revealing its location and revealing its next movement, which allows you to anticipate its intentions. This game takes the Xbox One Fat to the limit and in the events of temporary fracture crasheaba, the same in poorly optimized PCS. The music is forgettable. After passing it twice the final "end" is a huge Cliffhanger

    Lo Meh !:
    There are people who praise Dath Stranding because his background and story is told in mails ... here too many things you find out by mail.
    There is a “press” that hit this game with the washbasin because of the resolution when it came into play and when the patch X of improvement in 4K came out they did not have the courage to change the score
    You have to laugh at the useless people who say they will “watch the series on YouTube, on the outside or skip it” since they will miss part of the story, events and relationships (things you do in the game affect the series and the series counts and passes while you are in the events of the juice), you can skip the series and play without guilt but you cannot watch the series without playing the game because there are things and decisions that affect the series and the events of the game. If you are thinking of doing a formal second part (not Control) to get us out of doubt of the Cliffhanger in which it ends or "the new Monarch".

    This is an incredible game, with a very interesting story and full of action. It is one of those games that inexplicably has not received the credit it deserves, despite its high quality and refined work. I strongly recommend you to play it, and you'll see how its story hooks you up from the first moment.

    the perfect combination of sci fi and RPG elements, Shawn Ashmore brings Jack Joyce to life in this experiment gone wrong. many upgrades for yourself, different types of weapons to choose and or pick up from killed enemies. story is split up into 5 different acts then eventually taking control of the antagonist for a bit. great ending to an underrated game.

Max Payne в начале 2000ых был игрой абсолютно невероятной и можно сказать она совершенно изменила моё лично восприятие компьютерных игр. До сих пор вспоминаю с теплотой эти прекрасные мгновения первого прохождения этого шедевра, тогда это было очень круто. Сейчас уже так не будет конечно. Для «сейчас» же ремедийцы совсем недавно запилили весьма крепкий научно-фантастический шутер от третьего лица Control. Ждем с нетерпением очередных разборок с Бюро с уже приобретенными DLC. Серию Alan Wake я как-то совсем пропустил и не уверен, что стоит к ней возвращаться даже с учетом новоиспеченного ремастера. А вот Quantum Break, вышедший в 2016 году и ставший при этом эксклюзивом Xbox, при достаточно хороших отзывах пропускать совершенно не хотелось. Итак, Quantum Break это опять-таки научно-фантастический шутер от третьего лица, но в отличие от Control коридорного типа. Честно говоря, первые пару часов игры оставили неоднозначное впечатление. Вот казалось бы уже почти 6 лет прошло с момента выхода Quantum Break, а персонажи и некоторые текстурки до сих пор периодически слегка шлейфуют, нечасто и возможно не слишком очевидно, но всё же. В Control нечто подобное тоже припоминаю. Может это конечно фирменный стиль финнов? Более того изредка фризуют кинематогрофические сцены, в игре вроде бы ничего подобного к счастью замечено не было — всё летает без лагов. Эхххх, и вот это вот всё мелкое «безобразие» на флагманской Xbox Series Х?!?! Непорядок! Возможно конечно где-то оптимизацию не подтянули, так как всё же игра идет по обратной совмести от Xbox One. Ладно, это не сильно критично, но в глаза конечно бросилось и в случае с торможением картинки немного настроение-то подпортило. Касательно этих самых кинороликов, как раз с ними-то у нас и сложились первые сомнения по поводу уместности оных, ибо не много ни мало, но каждый из них после окончания игровой главы длится по минут 20. Первая катсцена пошла тяжеловато со смешанными чувствами, но в любом случае сразу для себя отметили достойное качество этих короткометражек и хорошую игру актеров. С каждым последующим мини-фильмом становилось всё интереснее, персонажи западали в душу и уже практически после второго киноролика стало очевидно, что сие новаторство работает и вызывает неподдельный интерес, тем более, что перед каждой катсценой мы, играя за главного антагониста выбираем один из двух путей. И в зависимости от нашего выбора мы смотрим соответствующий ролик. Даже немного жаль, что мы увидели по сути только половину материала, но главное, что слепили фильм мы сами. Геймплейно игра тоже постаралась выделиться из себеподобных и прежде всего за счет набора сверхспособностей нашего протагониста Джека Джойса.… Expand

    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.

    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]
