Quantum Break Review | Digitalspy

Is Quantum Break, with its meld of compelling gameplay, strong storyline and high-quality TV series, really the future of gaming? Yes, but maybe it'll beQuantum Break 2 (if there is one) that truly nails it 100%. If they dial back the gorgonzola, the product placement and adjust that cover mechanic, this could have been a perfect game. 

But, for now, you've got the best-looking game on Xbox One, jam-packed full of familiar faces and top-notch acting, complemented by strong gameplay mechanics and a popcorn-crunching TV series.

The game is quite divisive. Well at least its not a complete shambles like the order but still, disappointing to say the least, based purely on the reviews. Need to try it myself now.

Hanilugtehul2965d ago

The order was not a complete shambles it was a good game imo,and Im sure that qb won't disappoint me,the review scores means nothing:)peace:)

Gazondaily2965d ago

Each to their own. I thought the order was utter cack. If this is like that, then I'm sticking to Rocket League

Ricegum2965d ago

"Sticking to Rocket League"

Lol, Rocket League got boring months ago.

Kingthrash3602965d ago (Edited 2965d ago )

All the comparisons to the order.. when in fact qb has taken way less flack than the order even though they have similar problems.
People said the ai was bad In the order, same for qb...they say it was short. ..same with qb... (8hrs *including the 22 min eps...which makes Gamplay like 6 hrs long) qte in combat...no mp...both new ips the order looked better graphically ran at 900p while this runs at 720p...I remember all the flack the order got for running at 900p...this game received none of it...I wonder why this is.
I enjoyed the order and I'm sure I'll enjoy qb...its just makes me wonder why people criticized games like the order and knack such force but not qb.

Pandamobile2965d ago

"Lol, Rocket League got boring months ago."

Only if you're bad ;)

ShadowKnight2965d ago (Edited 2965d ago )

Why compare The Order? I thought Quantum Break was suppose to be the next big game like Halo and Uncharted.

People are generally saying that its ok, but it doesn't sound like goty material like some people were wishing.

Rookie_Monster2965d ago (Edited 2965d ago )

GOTY is subjective as well as in some cases, a game that didn't score as high as another game or games, came away with GOTY from a particular site or publication.

For example, another Remedy game, Alan Wake won Time Magazine GOTY over such games as Red Dead Redemption and Halo Reach even when it scores lower than the later 2 games.

starchild2965d ago (Edited 2965d ago )

Ultimately all that stuff is pointless. A game can be panned by critics or lauded by critics and it really doesn't mean much to me. I feel the same way about things like movies and books.

Honestly, how often is your favorite movie or book the one that won a literary or film award for that year? Sometimes, but very often not--that would be my answer. It's the same way with games.

I mean, we have people calling Quantum Break one of the best games of the generation so far, while others have given it 4s or 5s. It just goes to show you how utterly subjective it all is. And those gamers that write reviews are only a tiny fraction of the wider gaming population. There would be as many opinions as there are gamers, we just don't see the vast majority of them.

itsmebryan2965d ago

mostly 8, 9, and 10s is just "ok" reviews? What would you call good reviews?

NukaCola2965d ago

I did not know TIME loved Alan Wake more than RDR. That is cool. TIME did not love this one though.

"If they dial back the gorgonzola, the product placement and adjust that cover mechanic, this could have been a perfect game."

Begs the question, why give it a perfect score?!

From what I have seen the TV stuff looks like something I would turn off if I happened across it on television, it looked proper cheesy. Game itself looks pretty cool though, will defo try it on PC at some point.

Ricegum2965d ago

Currently sitting at 78 on Metacritic. Thought it would do better if I'm honest but 78 isn't too bad I suppose.

mEATgrinder2965d ago

78 is an average. I think it should be at least 80 because I do believe the sites that gave it 4/10 rather harsh. That being said 78 average means it's pulling equal amount of 90%'s

starchild2965d ago

Metacritic isn't some kind of final authority or anything.

Ricegum2965d ago

Didn't say it was did I? Don't get defensive.

FlexLuger2965d ago

Soring pretty well....with a few exceptions. Glad I pre ordred. I have it both XB1 with a a free PC copy thrown in :)

SwagginMcdoodles2965d ago

Hit me up with the copy on PC? XD

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN59d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit59d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead59d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica59d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL59d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit59d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper58d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica57d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer59d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit59d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer59d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit59d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218359d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer59d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218359d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper58d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal59d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood59d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218359d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde59d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion75d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer75d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion75d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning7775d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai75d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

15 Games That Like to Play With Your Mind

banger88372d ago

15 games on FIFTEEN pages? That's a NO from me.

Superliminal
Antichamber
Manifold Garden
Portal & Portal 2
The Stanley Parable
Monument Valley
Gorogoa
Thumper
Inscryption
Q.U.B.E. 2
Darq
Quantum Break
Perspective
Inside
The Swapper

IamTylerDurden1372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.

I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.

SullysCigar371d ago (Edited 371d ago )

I'd add FEAR and RE7 (when Ethan starts getting visions, especially in the boat) to that list.

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion371d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned371d ago

Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
