I generally enjoyed my time with Quantum Break the movie, but not Quantum break the game. I really liked the presentation, characters, and (convoluted) story.

The game aspects were severely weak. This should have been an “Uncharted” where the story and set piece action carried it even though the gameplay was fairly average. Instead, the game had only 4 powers and too much repetition to make it fun. Even worse, there were bad guys that were immune to some of your powers, thus further reducing your options in certain situations.
Still, I would give Remedy another chance. I am curious about Control and would like to see them continue to iterate and make a truly fantastic game.

I am glad I knew what I was in for when I started playing. Half-game, half-TV series with a 75 GB download upfront to get the 30 minute cut scenes. It would be easy to say "I am not going to put up with this"

Overall it is decent; I am entertained. Now that I see their newest game Control, I can see what they were going for. The action is stylish when you use the powers. However, I haven't got a good feel for how to combine them. I would have loved if they did more with melee or stealing weapons. The gunplay is fine but not the satisfying element of it.
The graphics are incredible and the character are models are excellent. I love all the time effects with shattered glass and streaking lights.
The characters are really intriguing and the branching story is an decent gimmick. The actors do a good job of portraying them and I actually look forward to the 30 minute shows. Again, it really helped I knew what I was in for. The overall story is kind of "huh, whatever". There is some cliché bad guy stuff but the actors can turn the mediocre plot into something better than it should be.

Solid game. I finally finished it which takes a load off though I wouldn't mind replaying it in the future to mop up the rest of the achievements.

This game was a Third person shooter and a Tv show all wrapped into one game. And while that may sound cool, its not. The game by itself isnt that bad, run, gun, and use time to your advantage, Pretty straightforward. And the Tv show by itself is actually really good too. Its like a superpowerless "Marvels Agents of Shield" …

The game by itself isnt that bad, run, gun, and use time to your advantage, Pretty straightforward. And the Tv show by itself is actually really good too. Its like a superpowerless "Marvels Agents of Shield" (My favorite show of all time, Tahiti is a beautiful place is it not?) which makes me want to watch it from start to finish. BUT, there is a butt here. The game tries to mash these two completely different things together, and it falls short... literally. Both the game and movie trip over each other the entire time, The game gets redundant while waiting for the show, and the show starts to get boring when your waiting for the game. Its just a sad mess the repeats itself. it truly could have been remedied by tearing the movie and the game apart, and making them go there separate ways. I would recommend this to ages 18 and over, as it can get kinda mature at times(With reluctance I might add).

Been installed on my PC for a long time. Finally got around to playing it. Enjoying it so far. I love the spacetime bending graphics. So weird and awesome.
