    One of the best games i've ever played. Amazing plot, actor performance which made me to actually care about the characters! This game actually makes you go back and replay it!

    Quantum Break is a unique experience and one that I intend to experience again. The game takes a chance in its storytelling with the television show. While not everything in the game may land, in this day and age, seeing a AAA game take a gamble is refreshing in and of itself. Any gamer who appreciates a time travel story would do themselves a disservice in missing this game.Quantum Break is a unique experience and one that I intend to experience again.

    Good game. Especially the story is excellent. I found it a bit repetitive, and maybe as a third person shooter there are better examples. Recommended

    An interesting meld of Alan Wake and Max Payne can't prevent this game from feeling linear and short on ideas. Less time should have been spent on the hammy dialogue and acting cast and more time spent on crafting an interesting world and characters who didn't all feel dislikeable and generic.

    Strongly focuses on narrative and it excels in those areas. I personally liked the live-action parts also. Initially wanted to give this a 7 but I found myself still thinking back about this game and needed some time to digest, realise how great it is. The only downside is that it should have let me play a bit more and in a bit more satisfying way. This is a unique game. If you are intoStrongly focuses on narrative and it excels in those areas.

    A good game with missed potential, with good graphics, good characters, good combat, but meh live-action sequences, some bugs and with a narrative, while mostly good, clearly misses some important beats.

    Great game from great developers! They were able to make a very high-quality product, with a great history, which is addictive.. This is a real and correct AAA project for a single pass, of which there are fewer and fewer on the market.

    In the end it’s a game that just feels so empty. The story is great and so are the graphics, but that's it. None of the characters are interesting, the gameplay is often monotonous and it’s just so dull. I want to like it and I do, but in the end it’s just a lot of wasted potential.

    This spiritual sequel to Alan Wake is a hybrid of story-driven action game and a TV show. It's only about 8 hours long. The live-action episodes have the quality of a network TV show. Fans of Detroit: Too Human and L.A. Noire might enjoy it. The game looks fantastic, although there is stuttering and screen tear on occasion. Some might be disappointed with the lack of action.

To achieve this aim, the kinematic where most of the script unfolds are played by real live actors, what has been the most discussed point of this game. Due to this, the game was not very well welcomed among the Xbox community. However, the game is not so bad and is enjoyable.
    The gameplay seems to be like the one we can find in any other third person third person shooter. However, It's way more than that thanks to the abilities that allow us to manipulate time in many ways. Definitely, this makes the game experience fresh and unique. Despite altering time is really cool, gunplay is a bit uncomfortable and hard to get used to.
    Visuals and audio effects are great, and really enchant the game experience till the point that we really think that we are on a movie. It's clear that the sensations developers wanted to send are really worked out. In general terms graphics are impressing (Moreover if we play on an Xbox one X), but sometimes it takes a bit to load textures.
    The real action short films, which are the most outstanding point of the game, are honestly too long and don't fit very well. It's true that they're really worked out and the acting is great, but unfortunately are unnecessary.
    Quantum Break is far from being one of the best games of Xbox One and the generation. However, it's one of the most ambitious one and worth playing it for sure.    … Expand

    This game is not a masterpiece, but it really has the potential of be one in the future, as they take more deep advantage of the esence of this game, i had too much FUN playing it and i found the story really interesting, beautiful graphics, and stunning special effects; Sadly is too short. I think a 8.3 would be perfect.

    Всему не своё время...

    (Quantum Break) QB не может подлежать здравой критике... Это тот самый случай, когда в игре нет ничего лишнего, но хорошо ли это?

    QB не может подлежать здравой критике... Это тот самый случай, когда в игре нет ничего лишнего, но хорошо ли это? Во время прохождения надо уметь вовремя останавливать время вокруг себя, чтобы например прочесть треш-сценарий одного придурковатого поклонника, а где то наоборот ускориться и предельно быстро пройти отрезок с препятствиями на рушащемся мосту, как подобает главному герою QB. И я говорю сейчас не об айсмене из людей-Икс, а о самих игроках. Именно геймеру отводиться тут главная роль, чтобы с определённым инструментарием он мог импровизировать как в бою, так и в прочтении меняющихся по ходу повествования записей, которые будут придавать ЯКОБЫ не особое значение сюжету, а самое главное финалу игры. От того как игрок распределит свои приоритеты при первом прохождении, зависит то как он будет проходить игру во второй раз, и будет ли этот второй раз вообще. Возвращаясь к началу текста, я как и главный герой в финальной сцене, остаюсь без права выбора и с троеточием на конце...    … Expand

    It is a good game. Good gameplay, good graphics, the power that we are able to use during the game its pretty useful and its feels very good to use as well... totally fits with the gameplay.

Quantum Break is that solution. Hello gaming folks Brandon here with a game I had no interest in, yet ended up really enjoying. To the point I can say this is one Xbox One exclusive that one MUST own. I shall get into this video game/TV hybrid of a game now.

    ​The story is all about time travel. You play Jack Joyce or as I referred to him as the entire game as Iceman. You develop time manipulation abilities after an accident that occurred in a science lab. Okay I’m really not selling the story let me just say it has some predictable moments in it but the story is very entertaining. The gaming sections that is. So you get to choose where they story goes while playing as Petyr Baelish. After you do so the game will cut into a 20 minute episode of a TV show about the side characters. This is where the game falls a little bit for me. While the choice you make does matter the outcome is still the same very Telltale in that way. Unlike Telltale this little nitpick actually fits in the story, but it makes one wonder why give you an option in the first place? The sad part about the TV show is that it feels like it should be on the CW. The actors are all these pretty late 20’s people who are all very smug in some way. You follow generic white protagonist who is trying to save his wife from the whole time collapsing on itself thing. There are only four episodes that occur which isn’t a huge deal and I honestly feel like this was a good idea that opened the game’s story a little bit. It also gave the villains more personality, and mystery over being just the bad guys. I do see people outright hating this game with the statement, “I paid for a game not a TV show”. As we know you can never please everyone. I enjoyed this story immensely and if you hated Life is Strange like me maybe check this story out it is way less teenage hipster like.

    The game looks beautiful, the characters truly look like their respected actors. It kind of make you laugh at the character model of actors in PS2 movie games. The freezing in time is such a great look with everything frozen in the air it creates an awe. The voice acting is wonderful I don’t think anyone does a bad performance in this, well Sean Ashmore has some cheesed up lines, but I can’t tell if that is his fault or the script he was given.

    The game is a third person action game with a cover mechanic. The saving grace for the game is time manipulation powers. You can freeze time, create a bubble shield, and run fast through time to punch the **** out of some soldier. The Monarch villains (I couldn’t help but to think of The Venture Bros every time they say Monarch) vary throughout the game every act they will introduce a new baddy keeping the game fresh. The game short enough to never get boring or repetitive. It is about a 8-9 hour game. The bad parts of the game are few but leave a smear on it. The final boss fight is just annoying and almost made me rage quit. This is a personal preference of mine being that I hate fighting bosses while goons are trying to kill me. The second which is a big one is the game is buggy. I had enemies freeze on me to the point I only could kill them with a takedown. I had the game lock up on me twice, and the frame rate dipped on me a couple of times.

    Overall the game is super fun with a super hero feel without all that hero jazz. The main character may be a mass killing maniac with a one track mind, but he is still likeable as **** The gameplay is fun and interesting mixing Gears of War with Infamous. The bugs are few but glaring, yet they may be fixed later on. Last the show that is skippable isn’t the best but it has quite a bit of character development for the villains. I give this game a 4/5. I high recommend you buy this and hold it over the heads of your Sony friends, and let your PC friends tell you how much better it is on PC because it is what they do. Until next time friends, or next Space?    … Expand

    Microsoft's take on the PS4's successful Quantic Dream-series. It looks good, the story is nice, the cinematic elements look great, but the dramatic arc of the whole game is suffering. And the end boss is way too hard considering the whole game.

    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]
