The Quarry (2022)

Slow at the start, but pick up nicely around the middle. actually escalated fast ..

ok as a game movie, some scenes and options doesnt make sense, but i guess whatever.

the characters are very unlikeable except Kaitlyn D:, dialogues are quiet bad sometimes, attempt at humor turns cringeworthy. also whats wrong with emma mouth ???

wont replay the game so the rest of endings i just watched youtube, and yeah i didnt missed much.

Chapter 5

"A 'swarm' of bears?!"

"Yeah."

"HERD of bears."

"Yeah, I've heard of bears."

😂

Then I sliced that poor MFer's hand off with a CHAINSAW that just happened to be lying around, and he no-sold it like a boss.

I've played all the Dark Pictures Anthology games before, but everything about this game improves upon that formula and just... gets it right. Playing this a chapter at a time because I don't want it to end.

Like the conept of its predecessor, other than that The Quarry in my opinion is a really bad game. Writing is boring and unappealing, often cringeworthy. Its often obvious that writers are adults trying to mimic teenagers acting how they see them, and the result looks like this: Unfortunately, the only good written character i was interested to learn about was the cop. I liked his mysterious nature and wanted to learn more about his motives from the first time he appeared. I really tryed my best, couldn't care any less about any character's death. Maybe except Abigail, because she is pretty much Sarah from Until Dawn, but younger. Im obviously biased, because thats exactly my favorite type of girls, cute, kind, shy and a bit of a hipster. But still, that doesn't change fact that she is a basic, shallow, deep as a pond character, like almost any other character in this game.

Gameplay was dissapointing as well, quick time events aged really badly. I know few people besides me who were often failing them, because of how slow and boring the story telling was. You just expect to not play the game and listen to cringe teens dialogues for hours.

Not to mention that you can't even skip most of the game, when you want to replay some sequences, The Quarry basically becomes a time consuming monster, if you want to complete it by 100%

Also i couldn't forget about these damn AWFUL facial animations, which will haunt me for few more weeks in my nightmares, they were ruining my immersion more than anything else. With the bank devs made with successful Until Dawn, this huge mistake always should be mentioned. Overall visuals in this game aren't great for 2022 high budget game, but compared with facial animations, bad lighting, visual bugs and objects clipping through each other were okay.

My final verdict - 3 out of 10. This game somehow sold out well anyway, (probably fan base decided to fully trust the developers after great Until Dawn), so i hope Supermassive Games will learn from their mistakes, and do a better game next time. This one unfortunatle is really bad and overpriced.

Picked this up from the library to try, I have been pretty impressed. This is my first of this style of game, and it has been a blast to play with my partner.

There are a few moments that feel odd, like devoting time to character discussions and development, when they should be rushing to save people. But I think this gives some much needed context to the characters to make them more then just "the hot one" the "nerd" etc.
