Quantum Break Reviews
An interesting story, a pleasant combination, but no revolution in the subject of gameplay. Quantum Break is the beginning, because Remedy Entertainment intends to develop a concept created over the years.

In a generation where the number of games presented in the gameplay and story telling sections is less than the fingers of one hand, the nature of risk-taking to create a work such as Quantum Brayk is admirable; All imperfections, the game experience is fun, lovely and most importantly special and new.

Quantum Break's commitment to delivering a rich, layered narrative isn't always conducive to gameplay, but that doesn't diminish how engrossing this is an entertainment experience. The combination of intense time-bending action, gripping story, and cutting-edge presentation make this the kind of game that sucks you in and doesn't let go until the credits roll. While it's not quite as inventive as it thinks it is, Quantum Break is fresh, ambitious, and a heck of a lot of fun.
'Quantum Break', like any expensive exclusive, developed a great deal of expectations over time. By and large, the game lives up to those expectations. It has a few stumbles in its pacing and action, but it combines historic shooter conventions with a set of flashy, delightful superpowers and a live-action component that's easy on the eyes. If you have an Xbox One, this is undoubtedly a game you should play.
Quantum Break is a very good game that could have been a great game if it wasn't for performance issues and the handling issues throughout the game. I can't praise Remedy enough however for the chances they took in Quantum Break, and how well they paid off in the game. I feel there aren't many developers taking these kind of chances anymore in the video games industry, and full credit goes to the great team at Remedy for doing what they did. Overall I enjoyed Quantum Break even with the few annoyances scattered throughout the game, and recommend trying this one out.
Great storytelling and terrific action sequences meet with eye-catching visuals and fabulous soundtrack in this great action-adventure game.

I love when developers take risks, that's when we get some incredible games. By itself, Quantum Break wouldn't have been as successful as it is. The gameplay is not strong enough to stand alone. But in collaboration with the TV series, the stunning cast, the script, the set and character design all work so well together that it elevates Quantum Break for just an interactive experience to an interactive collective.
With astounding production values, powerful story-telling, and rewarding combat, Quantum Break is a stellar game. But due to an underdeveloped upgrade system and poorly thought out content delivery that demands heavy bandwidth, it isn't exactly a game we can recommend to everyone wholeheartedly. Make no mistake though, if you have the means to play it as it was meant to be, it's worth experiencing.
Quantum Break makes some amazing innovations in the gaming industry with the live-action TV show, unique and original powers and abilities, and beautifully designed set pieces and the levels built around them. However, the story leaves a lot to be desired, the abundance of video game tropes thrown in your face is way overboard, and the controls for telling Jack where to go really need some tweaking. However, it's still worth the ride.
...as a marquee Microsoft-exclusive action title, Quantum Break delivers impressively on just about every front except that of content; it literally begs for a New Game Plus mode
Quantum Break is an enjoyable game with high replay value, but it underwhelms in several key areas.
Quantum Break is an excellent addition to the Xbox One and Windows 10 libraries, telling a deep and well thought-out story that not only takes itself seriously, but offers great entertainment value. But for its brilliance in storytelling it somewhat stumbles in certain aspects of its gameplay design, keeping Quantum Break from reaching its full potential. None the less, Quantum Break for all its problems has been worth the wait, and Remedy has gotten their well-deserved spotlight in the industry with their strong entrance to the current generation.
Quantum Break is a game that nobody can miss. Go ahead, Remedy shines again with its own light, offering a great game that will make you stay glued to the screen until the end.

As has almost always been true for Remedy productions, Quantum Break is not a game for everyone. Even more clearly than in the past, the Finnish developers focus more on the narrative aspects, first of all telling a story, and limiting the aspects of pure gameplay. However, there is, in Quantum Break, and manages to find an interesting dimension in the use of temporal powers, albeit superficially, between a general heaviness in the character's movements, a neglected (and negligible) upgrade system, a platforming that impresses visually but does not engage the brain in the least, and a limited duration. It remains a great multimedia experiment, a fusion between television serial and videogame unique of its kind, a remarkable test from a technical point of view, and an experience in its own way unprecedented, if only for the unprecedented mix of narrative forms.

Just like Alan Wake, Quantum Break launches into choices that will prevent him from being unanimous. For some it will be a title whose frame, staging, narration and artistic direction will be more than enough. For others, more concerned with pure gameplay, a TPS that is certainly pretty, dynamic and spectacular, but which does not manage to exceed some of its promises. Quantum Break does not succeed without fault, but it nevertheless manages to unite video game and cinema with panache, in particular thanks to its well-crafted history and its top actors. And if you were counting on a good series for a warm weekend, know that it can be interactive and of quality.

Remedy Entertainment's Quantum Break delivers an epic time-travel tale thanks to brilliant writing and a smart use of live-action sequences.
I commend Remedy for taking a chance on a different way of storytelling in Quantum Break. Although I didn't enjoy every aspect of the way it was done, I still had an gratifying experience and would look forward to the next installment.
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.
Overall, Quantum Break serves up a fun experience in a genre that's admittedly starting to feel long in the tooth. It doesn't break new ground but its inclusion of fun temporal powers freshens up the traditional cover shooter mechanics while encouraging some ruthless aggression. If you enjoy cover shooters with a solid story and fun abilities, this is one break you just might want to have.
I enjoyed Quantum Break in the same way I enjoy Marvel superhero movies. They're fun to watch while I kick back and eat some popcorn. But when I go to see The Avengers I don't have a control pad in my hands, and there's where Quantum Break gets confusing for me. Sussing out the relative importance of the two halves of Quantum Break messed with my head as much as trying to sort through all the story's causality loops.
