A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead Reviews
In addition to being extremely well-designed and polished, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a game that will keep you on your toes the whole time. It has never been so tense to open a door, drawer, or even simply walk around trying to avoid objects that could attract the attention of creatures. This game, without a doubt, provides you with perfect immersion.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a rather immersive and adrenaline-pumping experience, and although it is not a masterpiece of the horror genre, it is still very interesting, which is hard to find nowadays even in decidedly higher-budget productions. Some elements we didn't like so much, such as the narrowness of some areas that gave us more than a few headaches to get through or the bugs and glitches that - unfortunately - we ran into on more than one occasion. But apart from that, we feel like recommending it to anyone who is looking for a post-apocalyptic horror adventure, with a fair length (about six hours), a balanced level of challenge - net of the aforementioned issues - and a low price (€29.99).

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is an intense and exciting horror experience that captures the unsettling vibe of the movie series perfectly. Simply exploring your eerie surroundings whilst making as little noise as possible makes for an engrossing experience, and whilst the slower pace won’t be for everyone, I found myself completely hooked into the high-stakes at play. It’s dramatic, it’s unnerving, and it’s packed with sequences that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat as you try to make as little noise as possible… what else could you ask for from a video game set in the world of A Quiet Place?
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a thriller/walking simulation that struggles to fulfill its potential. In addition to the repetitive game dynamics, we can say that the atmosphere still feels good at times.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead manages to entertain despite not offering particularly memorable gameplay or storyline. Given its low price, however, it is a good choice for both thriller fans and those looking for an innovative experience thanks to the special feature of microphone-activated gameplay.

I’ve been back and forth on what I would rate A Quiet Place The Road Ahead. At the end of the day, its issues stick out to me so much because this game flirts so much with perfection. They aim to immerse you in to an experience that will make your heart stop. It successfully does so until you hit a minor flaw that can break your immersion.
What really stands out in A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is how willing it is to experiment and build entire mechanics around its central conceit of managing sound.
I have to admit; that I was sceptical about how they would achieve making A Quiet Place a game without being too dull. The gameplay is engaging and having you open everything manually adds a certain depth to the horror elements. The story is okay and provides a nice setup, however, I lost interest rather quickly and the plot feels too predictable. I felt the notes didn’t add much, maybe they talked more about the early days of the Invasion. From the ones I found it felt like just ranting. Pacing was also an issue for me as well. I understand you aren’t able to run, but walking does become gruelling after a while, especially after dying from minor mistakes. I didn’t use A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead’s microphone feature, as I have dogs and I would have been dying a lot more. Overall, I’d say the game provides a great experience and catches the atmosphere and tone of the movies but makes it better with you being at the wheel. I would definitively say it’s worth playing at least once, even more so if you enjoy the films. This is why I’m awarding it the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead was a surprisingly good horror experience, combining human and alien fears into a chilling, atmospheric game. Fans and newcomers alike should enjoy at least one playthrough of this fun horror romp.
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.
