Quantum Break Review

User Rating: 8 | Quantum Break XONE

Quantum Break is a game that blends TV, and gameplay, and take some big risks.

The story in QB is well paced, we acted, and for a time travel story, actually makes sense. The characters are interesting, and the way it is put together is great. And i feel as though the TV aspect is well executed, and adds a lot to the overall story because you get to see the villains side of the story, which are necessarily the "bad guys". The actors are well played, and the production values were solid, with only some scenes feeling fake, while some scenes felt really cheesy, it was kept to a minimum.

The gameplay is quick, and snappy, with the time powers really making you feel like a boss, and as you Learn new skills, you begin to learn new ways around the combat. Although the shooting mechanics, and cover system are average, they work fine in tandem with the time power mechanics. on top of this is the fact that throughout the levels is notes, and audio-logs that add to the story, however i wished that some of the more important stuff was left to the cut-scenes/show. The one big disappointment was the boss battle, which felt tacked on and was poorly designed,

The graphics were pleasant, with this being a smooth looking game, with no noticeable frame rate drops, or bugs, at-least in my experience.

Overall i feel as though Quantum Break is a great game that gets a lot right, and all while taking a big risk merging TV with video games. and i feel as though it was a success.
