The email chains, the notes, the protest placards scattered around the place - it's all wonderfully detailed. One particularly enjoyable side plot is an author-insert spec script written by one of the special operations commandos employed in Monarch's pri...
Quantum Break isn't a complete failure, but it never quite lives up to its media-spanning hype, being neither a great game or a great story. I'm glad I played it, but I simply can't recommend you buy it today at full price unless you're highly intrigued b...
Abstract: Quantum Break feels like the game this generation has been craving all along. It's inherently ambitious in its design, creative with its execution, and stylish as all hell. Then again, we've come to expect nothing less from Remedy Entertainment.This is, a...

The creative, speedy combat is great fun, The story aspires to an interesting, layered narrative
The combat never evolves to a truly satisfying level, Disjointed structure leads to big pacing issues, The TV show is rather underwhelming
Stunning graphics with the best motion capture and digital cast in gaming; clever, involving storyline and Hollywood-style scripting, innovative structure with TV episodes breaking up play
TV episodes take a lot of patience to get into, some minor glitches in animation, never really explained how the unassumingly lead hero became quite so proficient with military weaponry
How you ultimately rate Quantum Break relies heavily on your acceptance of the TV episodes that you must watch to get the fullest experience. And we can't help but feel that there will be plenty of players out there who positively hate the idea of f...
Generally smooth framerate, Great voice/acting cast
Mashup of TV and games doesn't work, Boring, often difficult to follow storyline, Overreliance on collectible items, Poorly designed shooting, Game and TV show aren't interactive enough
Stunning and realistic in motion, Combat feels powerful and fun, The ‘Junctures' and ‘Episodes' feel unique - and work
Unavoidably linear, No real replay value, Immersion breaking AAA trappings
Quantum Break: fun, but not quite revolutionary Is Quantum Break revolutionary? Not quite - or at least not from what I've so far seen of it. The live-action elements are hugely impressive: the production values are high, the story is well thought out a...

Quantum Break looks to be a compelling prospect. While its TPS action is pretty standard fare these days, the game's time-bending mechanics lend it heft and variety. Depth, though, could be the silver bullet. Alan Wake ran out of steam at the midway mark...
Abstract: Quantum Break is a hugely ambitious game which if developer Remedy's enthusiasm is anything to go by will be the most-groundbreaking title for the next-generation consoles so far. An Xbox One exclusive due for late 2015, the game will be mostly a third-p...
Astonishing graphics, Spectacular time-freezing set-pieces, Stong third-person gunplay mechanics, A good story that keeps you involved
Relatively short, Gameplay can feel weirdly dated
Quantum Break's no travesty of Order: 1886 proportions, but its gameplay, while fun, can't reach the level of its stellar graphics. Enjoy it for its engaging time-control gunplay, its spectacular stutters and its sci-fi storyline, but this isn't the landm...
