The Quarry Reviews
If you loved Until Dawn and Dark Pictures Anthology, you will adore this title. If you've never played these but you're into horror movies you certainly won't be disappointed, as it delivers exactly what you'd expect - Tension, thrills, jumpscares, and the periodic deaths of fundamentally annoying yet somehow lovable teenagers as they hit "rock" bottom.
The Quarry's charming cast and eye-watering visual splendour are worth the price of entry alone, but its strong, varying plot is where it truly pops.
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 incredibly entertaining and a blast to go through. Even with a list of small flaws, I still can’t wait to go through again and unlock some more of the 186 endings, as well as numerous death sequences. I’m not sure how much of that majestic sheen will still be there after multiple playthroughs, but I’m going to find out. Summer camp was never this thrilling when I was a kid.
The Quarry is a tense horror adventure with incredibly likable characters and some effective scares. The central mystery is fun to figure out, and the game doesn't take itself too seriously. While there are a few hiccups, you can either work around them or ignore them as they're not so major as to detract from the overall experience. This is Supermassive's best work yet.
The Quarry is a masterpiece and if you love film productions, filled with important and minor choices, do not waste time on subsequent reviews, but move as soon as possible to the title quarry. You will not regret it.

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.
The Quarry is a significant evolution of the formula established with Until Dawn. This time around the performance capture, cinematography and complex branching story are even more impressive. The game’s biggest achievement, though, are its setting, narrative and characters. While they don’t entirely transcend the stock tropes of genre fiction, they are far and away some of the best in any videogame and absolutely the equal of big-budget horror films. The Quarry is a must-play for horror fans. Gamers who enjoy great narratives, memorable characters and intriguing choice-driven mechanics will love it too.
The Quarry picks up where Until Dawn left off, introducing another group of personable teens you'll attempt to keep alive. Or not.
I had an absolute bloody blast with The Quarry, and I say this knowing that it won’t be for everyone. But if you like mystery, if you like running for your life, if you like holding your breath until the beast crawls after another victim...well, you’re in for a terrifying treat.
With dynamically branching pathways and some truly frightening sequences, The Quarry just might be my favorite game from Supermassive.
The Quarry is Supermassive's best game so far, capable both to blend storytelling and interactivity and delivering a fine, standalone, cinematographic experience.

The Quarry is one of Supermassive Games' best titles, harking back to the glory days of Until Dawn for all the right reasons.
The Quarry is yet another impressive title by Supermassive Games. While it doesn't veer away from their previous titles, their ability to write an interesting story with compelling characters is only improving. Featuring several red herrings and twists, The Quarry will keep you guessing and gives you an ever-increasing impact on how the story turns out. There are still a few niggles here and there, such as the sloth-like character movement and a few facial animation and audio quirks, but this looks better than ever and features an excellent soundtrack. If you're a fan of Until Dawn or The Dark Pictures games, you'll like this; particularly as the larger budget comes with a much bigger cast and a much larger and more branching story.
The Quarry reinvigorates storytelling in horror by giving you more agency as the player, branching off into so many outcomes thus making you want to play again immediately after the credits roll. Backed by clever humour-laced writing, stellar cast performances, interactive depth, this is the new horror game that everyone should be talking about.
The Quarry is a thrilling experience from start to finish that any fan of Supermassive's other horror games will immediately adore. If this is your first foray into their games, The Quarry is an excellent jumping-in point before diving into their other games. Standout performances, fantastic writing, and horrifying visuals are sure to delight all fans of horror.
A summer camp teen horror inspired by movies from the 1980s, the setting and set-pieces are at times cliché or familiar, but with a cast of engaging characters and great story you're left with something wholly memorable.
The Quarry offers truly intensive suspense made with a captivating story and a well-crafted direction.

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.
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.
