If they dial back the gorgonzola, the product placement and adjust that cover mechanic, this could have been a perfect game...But, for now, you've got the best-looking game on Xbox One, jam-packed full of familiar faces and top-notch acting, complemented by strong gameplay mechanics and a popcorn-crunching TV series.

Remedy swung for the fences and hit a homerun with Quantum Break. With an engrossing story, an amazing cast, and the most beautiful visuals on the Xbox One we’ve ever seen, Quantum Break is a masterpiece.

Honestly deserves a sequal lowkey! It's has lots of things to do, and I think there was room for a sequal.

Quantum Break is a good exclusive for Xbox One. Probably won't be remembered for any innovation or marvelous feature but it's fun and can entertain the player from the start to finish.

Quantum Break emphasizes its narrative, which is sometimes detrimental to its cause. However, despite that fault, what's presented here is a very intricate, interesting and visually stunning game; not to mention one that is very fun to play when it lets the player use its protagonist's time-bending super powers.

I have no trouble recommending it to gamers, albeit with a number of caveats. If you're looking for an intense shooter experience, then you should probably pass on it. If you're looking for something that is without a doubt a unique experience in gaming, then you'll find what you're looking for here.

Encounters – generally set in bland open areas – tend to be pretty similar to each other. Jack uses his time shifting abilities – which evolve in terms of range and power, but not sophistication – in the same ways on a limited variety of enemies time and again while relying on an awkward automatic covering system as he reloads or waits for his abilities to recharge. Rinse and repeat. There’s simply not enough variety.

There are a lot of sound ideas in the middle of Quantum Break and, hey, if you're a sucker for goofy time travel hijinks this game has that going for it, too. But those ideas are the only things holding this project together. The moment you look past that heady connective tissue, every single one of Quantum Break's individual elements fall flat.

Uma experiência que eu não acredito que demorei tanto para ter, esse jogo é surpreendente em tudo que se propõe a fazer, esse lance de ser um jogo e uma série ao mesmo tempo, é muito impressionante, e melhor, tudo isso funciona, como eles conseguem contar a história durante a gameplay, cutscenes e complementar isso tudo com os episódios, nunca vi isso antes em todos esses anos, dá nem para acreditar que esse jogo é de 2016, os jogos hoje em dia não chegam nem perto do que foi Quantum Break, os personagens são incríveis, os atores são reais e muito carismáticos, em especial o Lance **** que interpreta o Dr. Martin Hatch, ele rouba a cena toda vez que aparece, personagem fantástico, intimidador, misterioso e intrigante, Paul Serene e suas motivações, a relação entre Jack e William Joyce, tudo muito bem escrito, só não me agradou muito o destino de certos personagens como o do Charlie, Beth e Liam, esperava um desfecho melhor para estes personagens, a fiona ficou no salva-vidas, mas o que aconteceu lá depois da retirada do RCC? O que aconteceu com o liam e sua esposa? E esse final deixou uma grande interrogação na minha cabeça, mas creio ter sido a intenção, e esse jogo ainda é conectado com Alan Wake e Control, a remedy soube muito bem-fazer esse universo e Quantum Break é com certeza um dos melhores dele, espero ver uma continuação um dia.

I really liked this game, it didn't blow me away but it was a solid 3rd person action shooter with a few unique elements. The story for me was the best part with additional story telling through live action segments. Shame there isn't a sequel.

Beautiful 4k visuals on series x console. Fantastic soundtrack and high production quality especially with the cutscenes and attention to detail present **** "TV show" episodes. Perhaps a stretch too ambitious, remedy do their best to tell a compelling time travel story mixing a very light "choose your own" storyline. The gameplay is interesting blending puzzles,exlporation and action scenes. However the game play just never quite flows as well asthe more recent control and Alan wake 2so it ends up being a rather generic shooter with "time bending" buffs to explain your shield and pause enemy moves. Nonetheless if you're a fan of remedy/scif action games then this will appeal to you.

Quantum Break had decent ideas, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Decent gameplay and great visuals (for the time, and that have aged well) are offset by a bad story, short length, and no replay value.

Other than being visually impressive, there is not much about this game that is not done better elsewhere. Its a game full of missed opportunities. The gameplay is lacklustre; shooting mechanics are not quite satisfying, variety is completely missing, and the puzzles did not take anywhere near enough advantage of the "control of time" gimmick. Considering its premise, the narrative and character development is weak. Location variety is uninspired (warehouses and derelict buildings most of the time). Replay-ability is missing, which for a short game is disappointing, unless you fancy making different choices that is. Its an average game combined with a less than average TV show. The casting did result in some decent enough performances in the live actions sections. However, i couldn't tell whether the writing was just too poor to work with, or Aiden Gillen is far from the actor I had been led to believe. Its good enough to play, but also average enough to skip.
