A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead Reviews
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead does a commendable job of taking the uniquely silent scary movie series and spinning it into an interactive adventure, even if its methods for sustaining stress seem a bit too clearly contrived at times. I greatly appreciated the many handcrafted human touches that made its evacuated spaces so evocative, and the safety net of its consistent auto-save meant that my numerous instant deaths never became a source of frustration.
As noiselessly as a survivor in its world, A Quiet Place has received a video game tie-in, and despite the publisher not doing much to promote it, it's not bad.
In the skin of a young woman with respiratory and anxiety problems, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead invites us to survive in a horror game that will force us to be fast, intuitive and very, very quiet. The juicy world of A Quiet Place is perfectly adapted to the video game with a series of very well thought out mechanics that manage to justify each new step in our escape from horror. To this is added a very powerful visual world and a story that adapts to the spirit of the films and manages to stand out in the crowded catalog of horror games.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead doesn't have enough innovation to prevent it from running out of steam in its final hours, though it does a solid job of replicating the franchise's thesis in video game form.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead delivers plenty of spooks throughout its roughly eight-hour adventure, but it does run out of ideas somewhat during the back half of that runtime. When called upon, the cast is well-acted (even if the story is quite threadbare) and the whole thing does enough to cement itself as a worthy entry in the 'A Quiet Place' universe, which is a nice achievement for Stormind Games. Some more late-game variety and additional options for dealing with the enemy could have made this a horror great, but as it stands, The Road Ahead is just a decent romp through what's becoming quite a popular movie universe. Horror game aficionados and A Quiet Place superfans should definitely consider this one, but for those less experienced, there are better options out there on the horror game market.
A Quiet Place: The Road is a pretty decent game based on a well-known movie franchise. What we have here is a pretty good stealthy horror game that offers very good acting and animation. Unfortunately, some of the gameplay decisions weren't quite right, and the music doesn't deliver as well as the rest of the audio. However, looking at the price of the game, I'm able to conclude that it's adequate and not exaggerated, as is the case with other games that have been coming out recently.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead captures the atmosphere of the films really well and offers an immersive horror experience similar to Alien: Isolation. Unfortunately, it's technically completely unsatisfactory and often requires you to progress a little too slowly, which really reduces the enjoyment of the game.

For fans of the A Quiet Place franchise and horror game enthusiasts, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is an experience worth checking out. While the story is relatively simple, the constant tension and gameplay focused on silence are engaging and deliver a solid dose of adrenaline. The affordable price also makes it an appealing option for those looking for an alternative to more expensive AAA titles.

It mimics the films really well, and adds elements to the story that work perfectly within it, such as Alex having asthma and incorporating that into the gameplay and narrative. As a well-versed survival horror player, I found the game to be a bit simple for my taste, however I would recommend this to anyone trying out survival horror for the first time.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead by Saber offers a solid Alien Isolation-like experience in the A Quiet Place universe, closely following John Krasinski’s formula. While fans will enjoy the familiar tension and references, the slow pace, punishing sound mechanics, predictable plot, and bugs can detract from the experience, though die-hard fans may still find it rewarding.

Once you've locked down the game's core mechanics, it becomes all too easy to survive. Most of the time, you'll be crab-walking around a closed area trying to avoid a creature that will kill you with a single hit if you rustle a bush or step on an empty can.
While A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead isn’t a masterpiece of a horror game, it is interesting and that is hard to accomplish, especially in horror.
