Quantum Break Reviews
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.

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.

To be straightforward this is a one-of-a-kind game that is worth coming back to even after you've beaten it.
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 looks to the future by mining the past
Quantum Break is a dramatic and thrilling adventure from start to finish, and an impressive undertaking that succeeds across the board.
For all the time-travel hocus pocus Remedy dropped into Quantum Break, the one superpower missing is the ability to get your time back.
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.
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.
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.
...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 has an identity crisis going on for itself, not knowing if it wants to be a TV show, action game or puzzle platformer.
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.
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 combines masterful storytelling with fast-paced combat and great acting to prove that linear games are still a force to be reckoned with. You'll want to play through this game more than once to catch all of the nuances it has to offer.
Quantum Break is another incredibly satisfying action-adventure mystery from Remedy in the same leagues as Alan Wake and the original Max Payne – bolstered by a bigger budget which has resulted in a terrific cast of actors, complex and intriguing storyline and script, and well-implemented live action television sequences. The third-person cover-based gunplay, while executed better in other franchises, is still enjoyable, but it is the exploration of the environment for background details, clues and easter eggs is what makes the bulk of the gameplay enjoyable.
It is apparent from the first minute to the last that an epic narrative is the primary focus in Quantum Break. From the full-length live action film to the extensive emails and documents, the game beckons you to savor the internal drama and cataclysmic storyline. If you're more interested in skipping to the action, you'll likely be disappointed with the remedial difficulty and generic shooter structure.
A confident, bold and thrilling action-adventure
A brave attempt at cross medium entertainment, let down by leaning more one way than the other.
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.
