The Quarry Reviews
The Quarry is a game similar to others from Supermassive Games, but it is not the successor to Until Dawn. His story progresses slowly and there are very few QTEs, but his replay value is very high.

A significant return to form for Supermassive’s interactive cinematic horror games, The Quarry feels like a true spiritual successor to Until Dawn even with persistent camera and control issues.
The Quarry is a fantastic return to form for Supermassive Games. Every character stands out well on their own thanks to the fun and excellent writing. The monsters and villains, while not terrifying, are a very cool take on the Summer Camp Horror stories that we’ve seen time and again up until now. With just a little more refinement on the rough edges, there’s no doubt this game would’ve been a top 10 horror game. Even then, The Quarry is memorable, and I highly suggest you check it out, especially with a group of friends.
I really enjoyed my time with The Quarry as Supermassive Games has delivered another quality game. I was hooked right away by the engaging story and characters. The motion capture and acting were very well done, kicking it up a notch from 2015’s Until Dawn. The countless choices have weight by the ending but ‘failing’ a choice isn’t always the end of the world. The graphics and audio were superb in setting the scene no matter the mood. There is also a lot of content to play through with items to find and achievements to unlock. The full release of The Quarry has barely happened and I can’t wait to see what Supermassive Games bring us next!
The Quarry is simply a perfect return to a horror atmosphere that Supermassive knows how to do so well. It's by no means a revolutionary masterpiece, it still has some historical flaws for the studio, but it's a well-executed homage to a horror genre that still has weapons to show, if used wisely. It was not an easy task, but The Quarry managed to give us an unforgettable stay in the woods, with plenty of choices to go through and relive over and over again to delve into its well-hidden mystery.

The Quarry may not be quite as memorable as Until Dawn. Although it shares many stereotypes with Until Dawn, the game remains an entertaining watch despite its resemblance. It's undoubtedly a game that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its combination of mystery and dread. On the other hand, it's far from bringing any revolution to this genre in terms of gameplay elements.
In the end, The Quarry is a triumph of interactive storytelling and is an engaging and compelling tale with a strong cast. It will be interesting to see what Supermassive will do next but The Quarry is a game well worth your time.
A great visual experience is one thing, but combine that with top-notch voice acting, and you can almost feel the emotions and the feelings of the characters that are portrayed in this epic interactive horror experience.
Although there is not much difference between Supermassive's previous games systemwise, Quarry shows an interesting storytelling based on classical teenage horror film. Facial expressions came naturally without awkwardness thanks to the collaboration with famous actors. But, it is a bit unfortunate that we can not enjoy co-op multiplayer right after its release.

The Quarry is everything the vision of a Supermassive Games production can be; a loving rendition of a classic horror story told with reverence, levity, and many, many buckets of blood.
Wearing every cliché on its sleeve, The Quarry is having a whale of a time with its setting. Sometimes it’s satirising the slasher film, others it subverts them. With many endings and path-altering decisions to make, no two playthroughs are alike. Coupled with a heap of horror alumni, as well as up and comers, The Quarry is a veritable romp through jump scares, ghost stories and video nasties.
If Until Dawn is The Legend of Zelda, then The Quarry is A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time: the next evolution of a great idea, presented in a new and exciting format.
By returning to a structure that has made plenty of horror films a hit, Supermassive Games has delivered in trademark fashion with The Quarry. With fun scares, demanding situations, a cast of fun characters, and a narrative that picks up momentum with each passing chapter, there is much to like about this game. Of course, if you were never a fan, it will be hard for The Quarry to convince you otherwise, however, for those that love this kind of thing, this is one rabbit hole you might not want to come out of.
