Quantum Break Reviews
Quantum Break is another example of Remedy Entertainment sticking to what they know, and doing it better than anyone else. An engrossing adventure with a captivating story. experimentation with new mediums for telling stories in games and refined third-person gameplay to match. Quantum Break isn't optional, it's essential.
Remedy's Quantum Break is an ambitious title that doesn't always meet its own expectations, but when it does the result is spectacular.
Ultimately, Quantum Break was obviously an experiment. On one side, I'd rather see game developers and publishers focus their resources on telling their stories via the games themselves, but it's impossible not to recognize the value of this title as a game. It looks awesome, it plays great, and makes you feel really badass. What's not to love? Remedy is back, baby!
Like Max Payne and Alan Wake before it, Quantum Break has already left me desperate for a sequel. And with one or two loose threads left dangling tantalisingly, the way is certainly open for one. Quantum Break is another superlative Remedy game, combining story and gameplay to startling effect. I want to go back in time and play it afresh, all over again.
A confident, bold and thrilling action-adventure
With a great cast, fun third person action and a set of interesting and unique powers Quantum Break stands out as an amazing game with plenty of unique features.
Quantum Break is a dramatic and thrilling adventure from start to finish, and an impressive undertaking that succeeds across the board.
As a game, Quantum Break is solid. There's a good balance between the shooting and exploration sections, and while some people may dislike the simplicity of the core shooting, the time-related powers augment it enough to make it fun. As a TV show, it does a good job of staying interesting without wearing out its welcome. As a whole, the story nicely melds together both pieces, and the different avenues the tale takes gives you a reason to replay it. Quantum Break is another excellent game from Remedy, and it belongs on the shelves of all adventure game fans.
Quantum Break is Remedy's most ambitious and immersive title yet.
Being sensible, it's hard to find any real faults with Quantum Break
Quantum Break is the largest and riskiest experiment in the entire 21 years of Remedy's existence, but it paid off. It does not mean a revolution, but it is still a fascinating experience in which two different media intersect in a coherent and excellently functioning mix.

Quantum Break is one of the best produced videogames of late, comfortably sitting among Remedy's catalogue of hit titles.
A beautifully crafted and hugely enjoyable experience, Quantum Break is a fantastic addition to anyone's library. The lighting effects alone make any arguments about resolution dissipate, with a solid set of unique mechanics and breathtaking set-pieces that keep the game fresh and exciting. Whilst I had some issues streaming the show, the content within is in such good keeping with the game, that it's a minor blip on the radar when all is said and done. Microsoft's flirtation with the world of TV proved to be a bit of a flop, but for the most part, Remedy have somehow managed to nail it.
Quantum Break tells a fascinating story about the transition through time that combines live action with video games in a way we've never seen before.

More TV, a little more game, a longer and more carefully handled ending and a challenge boost would have forced my hand to 10/10, easily. But it's just not all there. Still an amazing experience though, if time travel is your bag.
As an action game it delivers, but it seems to me that the most important thing is that in the end they managed to overcome the challenge of being a simple third-person shooter to become a fantastic audiovisual experience. This is thanks to the good design of the game and its system that forces you to use powers intelligently and creatively.

Quantum Break does almost everything right. The shootings are as fun as they are spectacular, the story entertains you right up to the satisfying finale, little puzzles and skills provide just the right dose of variety, and the presentation sets new standards in cover shooters. However, depending on how you play, the spectacle is over after eight to ten hours - including the TV episodes. But these eight to ten hours are tough, I promise!

The concept of time is a core tenet of Quantum Break. It is the driving force behind the gameplay and the scientifically enthralling narrative that intertwines the game and accompanying television series. Despite the scientific complexity of using time as both a gameplay and narrative element, Remedy Entertainment has done a fantastic job of producing a compelling story that is not only engaging and filled with spectacular twists and turns, but it is also incredibly immersive – especially for players who take the time to find all of the extra collectibles. Complementing an unforgettable story are visuals and audio that defy what many think the Xbox One is capable of, for Quantum Break is an unmistakable technical marvel and one of the best looking games of this generation [thus far]. Coupled with gameplay that manages to inject a fresh spin on the typical cover-shooter genre, Remedy Games have managed to create a memorable game that deserves to be experienced, played and enjoyed. Quantum Break is, without a doubt, one of the best titles available for Microsoft’s Xbox One.
Quantum Break is unfortunately not the savior of the Xbox One homeland, a role that I don't think it has ever aspired to. That said, Remedy's new work is excellent from many points of view, particularly when the spotlight is put on the storytelling and the hatching of the characters, two things that the house of Sam Lake can do very well and that here were even more complicated to bring home successfully, given the slippery terrain of temporal paradoxes on which the plot continually rests its foundations. The action phases are also embellished with good ideas, but automatic coverages generate problems too frequently for them not to be taken into account in the judgment phase. I also appreciated the good integration between the parts played and the episodes of the TV series: a combination that almost unexpectedly works great, probably due to the aforementioned experience of Remedy in knowing how to tell good stories, as well as for the skill. of the actors involved.

Qualms aside, Remedy's return to action gameplay with their refined narrative chops is a concoction that shouldn't be ignored. On the whole, Quantum Break is highly recommended - a welcome exclusive for the Xbox One and breath of fresh air in the AAA space.[Insert time pun here]
