Quantum Break Reviews
Whether you consider Quantum Break a game with episodes, or a mini-series with interactive segments ultimately doesn't matter - it's an experience. It may use an unproven formula, but that blueprint is also the main attraction that piques one's curiosity, even if my own started to waiver amidst a story too interested in its own keywords to talk about anything more depth-inducing. With a dire need to be amongst the blockbusters, it's an inoffensive, non-threatening tale with big-name actors who try so seriously to make it otherwise. And while not an one interesting story in itself, Quantum Break has an interesting way of being told.
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.
Quantum Break has an identity crisis going on for itself, not knowing if it wants to be a TV show, action game or puzzle platformer.
...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 pretty much the game that it looks to be according to the trailers. It is a very solid cover-shooter with a story that is confusing and by far the least interesting one in Remedy's portfolio, but it still holds a high standard with many interesting plot points. It is a game you should and even must play on the Xbox One since the PC version is not acceptable in any way. The best part of Quantum Break is how well it works together with the built in TV-show, and that is bound to give you a unique and interesting experience.
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.
This is the most frustrated I've been with a shoddy port in years. There have been other high-profile trainwrecks in the recent past, like Batman: Arkham Knight and Assassin's Creed: Unity. But I didn't like those games, aside from their obvious PC woes.
For all the time-travel hocus pocus Remedy dropped into Quantum Break, the one superpower missing is the ability to get your time back.
Quantum Break is a dramatic and thrilling adventure from start to finish, and an impressive undertaking that succeeds across the board.
Quantum Break looks to the future by mining the past
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.
To be straightforward this is a one-of-a-kind game that is worth coming back to even after you've beaten it.
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.

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, Microsoft's newest exclusive, perfectly scents Remedy Studio and its style, which only maybe them could design and build.

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 will not disappoint you. It is a video game with a very well-told story that grows in interest, graphic effects that we have not seen before on consoles and a heart attack sound section. It is not perfect but it is Remedy.

As it is, as I said at the beginning: time is the virtue and the problem of experience. The chronological concept feels fresh, but Quantum Break was in the oven for so long, I was expecting a bit more, especially from the decision-making and the show. The transmedia component passes as a distraction or marketing ploy rather than innovation, and what could have been something genuinely unique ended up being good ... nothing more. Remedy took an excessively safe route in several of his decisions and missed opportunities to transcend the game mechanics. Despite that, the action is rewarding and the story clever; more than enough elements to give the game a good grade.

Mechanically this might not be anything special, even with the time manipulation powers, but the world and story are enough to draw you in. This is a game that knows how to paint an interesting world and immerse you in it, with a good mix of fighting, exploration and branching cinematics.
