Quantum Break stands as a curious relic of its time. It's impressive to note that the game was conceived and developed four years before Christopher Nolan's Tenet , yet it carries a similarly stylized sci-fi action approach, experimenting with time and transforming it into a weapon. Two years before Detroit: Become Human , Remedy was already showcasing photorealistic graphics and animations. Even eight years later, the game holds up reasonably well—its emotions and facial expressions in cutscenes are meant to blend seamlessly with live-action segments, pushing the game toward the realm of a high-budget TV series. However, the 720p resolution, a vestige of last-generation consoles, is noticeable. The level design is distinctly familiar, echoing past Remedy titles like Alan Wake . It feels crude and straightforward, reminiscent of an early 2000s era when Max Payne was on everyone's lips. You might find yourself stuck at times, unsure of what to do next, but "quantum sense" hints will guide you in the right direction. Surprisingly, the enemy AI is competent—they’re fast, agile; the shooting mechanics, however, are simplistic. There's no stealth; you either move, dash, or automatically take cover behind walls or boxes. The superpowers, though functional, often lack impact. The transitions between abilities are clunky, which can be frustrating. Sam Lake aimed to blur the line between cinema and video games. While Quantum Break can be likened to projects from Quantic Dream or Hideo Kojima, it falls short of delivering engaging gameplay and deeper narrative exposition. It avoids becoming a pure cinematic experience but never reaches the fluidity of controlling Norman Reedus in Death Stranding . The protagonist here feels stiff, like an outdated puppet with no upgrade system. The game is linear, offering little replay value despite its branching storylines. There’s no consistent rhythm: at times, you’re nudged to discover notes and read letters, but then you’re hurried to press forward. Yet, some of the "time-reversal" moments are genuinely impressive—be it a shipwreck or a bridge explosion. These are well-crafted set pieces. Quantum Break desperately wants to be a masterpiece, and for its ambition alone, much can be forgiven. Unfortunately, underdeveloped gameplay mechanics make it a one-time playthrough. Still, despite many rough edges and far from ideal moments, it’s really worth playing, especially when on sale. Quantum Break has a soul and an auteur's touch—something most games sorely lack. You can feel the love that went into creating it, and that means a lot.

June 2024

Playing the Alan Wake II DLC reminded of this game, so I thought a replay was in order. I'll never understand why this game isn't more highly regarded. For me, it's an under appreciated classic. Remedy put so much detail into the world of Quantum Break and the pseudo science feels almost plausible. Playing in 2024, the graphics are so good they would not look out of place in a current game. The story is fun, it's well paced and the character acting is great. It's a great shame that Microsoft own this IP, which prevents Remedy working on a sequel, or even incorporating elements of it into the Remedy universe. Maybe one day. After all, it took them years to get the IP back for Alan Wake.

"It's a f***ing masterpiece! I'm playing it in 2024 and the graphics still look really cool. The story is amazing. It's like playing in an Interstellar movie and feeling the huge impact of your decisions. To better understand the story, I recommend reading all the notes. And yeah - this game requires some patience. Honestly, at the beginning everything felt weird. But the more I play, the more I want. More."

April 2024

Terribly underrated and even a little too hated from what I've seen. It's not perfect but none of the game's flaws are real deal breakers unless you have Beth Wilder's ever dwindling level of patience. Gamers whine about everything these days and can't simply have fun anymore without constantly feeling the need to overly scrutinize every single pixel they come across. I mean, come on... you can manipulate time in this game (!!!), it has some genuinely impressive level designs, you get a fun little TV Show with Lance Reddick and Aidan Gillen (who unintentionally turns out to be kind of hilarious as Paul) and while the writing fluctuates and strays a bit from "peak Remedy" it has some really great moments. Which are especially present in the details, aka. all those scattered notes, emails and documents. Some of you guys just need to take a step back and approach games with a little more whimsy again because that is what gaming is essentially all about! :) (oh you died to the boss 50 times on hard? stop crying on the internet, thats a skill issue. get good. hop on a souls game and then we'll talk. nerd lmfaooo)
