The gameplay might be somewhat generic and linear, but what it lacks in that department it makes up for in spades in narrative. The idea of mixing a video game and a miniseries sounds terrible, but by god Sam Lake and his men pulled it off effortlessly here. The general concept and spin on the age-old time travel story are really well done and heightened by characters that are actually fleshed out and interesting. Overall, it's so much better than it has any right to be.
Feels like more then the sum of its parts. If you can overlook some of the poorer decisions made in it's development its actually a really fun time. Its the only game of its kind and I'd argue its worth playing to see a future that never was.
joya infravalorada con una historia cuanto menos interesante y con un gameplay divertido aunque necesita un poco de variedad los poderes temporales le dan un giro muy fresco a la forma de jugar, aunque la historia te deja con un cliffhanger y no parece planes de continuar la historia algo muy normal de remedy
Quantum Break is a tough one to rate because it had an incredible budget and amount of detail behind its development and the game actually shows that with excellent graphics, detailed environments, TV show-like cinematic sequences at the end of each chapter and solid gameplay and gunplay. With that being said, the execution was not the best one with nothing too remarkable in terms of how the game unfolded including an unsurprisingly confusing storyline. Most definitely not Remedy's best game.
While it is definitely an extremely ambitious game with it’s story and graphics; it is ultimately held back by repetitive stages that don’t do enough to stand out from each other and mediocre story telling. For a launch title though, the graphics and animations are still extremely impressive and hold up well today.
Quantum Break é um jogo com foco na narrativa sobre viagem no tempo. Já começo aqui avisando que se você não curte jogos que colocam a história acima de todo resto, esse jogo não é pra você. Quantum Break tem uma história muito boa, que infelizmente é só enriquecida e mais bem encaixada se você ler os coletáveis que tem no jogo (que não são poucos). A gameplay é maravilhosa e as habilidades que você consegue controlando o tempo são extremamente divertidas, mas elas são tão fortes que o jogo no difícil (que é a dificuldade que eu recomendo jogar) acaba sendo bem tranquilo. Os gráficos são lindos e os efeitos/partículas são impressionantes e únicos. O fator replay do jogo é MUITO fraco, já que a relação entre narrativa/combate nesse jogo não são nada bem cadenciado, acaba se tornando um saco ter que fazer o 100% do game, zerar duas vezes até vai, mas aí você já não vai ter mais saco nenhum pra uma próxima, aí então mora mais um problema no jogo, as decisões que você toma no game não mudam nada no resultado final, mudam algumas rotas aqui e acontecimentos de personagens secundários ali, mas nada que realmente mude drasticamente. Se você curt uem jogo com uma boa história e totalmente cinematográfico (já que tem episódios de uma série inseridas no jogo e com base nas decisões que você toma, que é um ponto positivo por sinal) este game é pra você, caso contrário apenas teste em alguma oportunidade e se gostar, vai fundo.
Gameplay is mostly fun enough, and the story ends up being pretty compelling for a while too (I'm a sucker for time travel), unfortunately Remedy doubled down on all the frustrating aspects of Alan Wake, constantly halting the action for slow walking sections, pages of lore dumps they are clearly begging you to read (though you often have a companion urging you to hurry along), when these come in audio format, the sound fades if you take 5 steps away, forcing you to just stand there awkwardly if you want to listen. I hope they've learned how to integrate story and gameplay for Control.
Why does Remedy have such a hard on for making their games TV shows? Judging by the 4 episodes interrupting the game, they aren't any good at it.
So much foreshadowing for stuff that never arrives before the anticlimactic ending, had to save the interesting stuff for a sequel or DLC that probably won't ever happen.

I originally played this on Xbox One when it first released and just finished it again on PC in the tail end of 2022. During the early days of the Xbox One, Microsoft had this weird obsession with watching TV on your gaming console, and in my opinion that is the biggest detriment to this game.
The graphics and the overall visual presentation are absolutely phenomenal, even in 2022 (4K, 60fps). The audio in the game is also excellent. Everything from the sound effects and voice acting, to the banging soundtrack. Speaking of voice acting, the cast of characters in this game are played by some very recognizable Hollywood actors and actresses. They did a great job with the motion capture as well with top notch facial animations.
The combat in this game is pretty good and fun. It can become a bit repetitive but the game is on the short side, so the repetition doesn't get enough time to become tedious. Unfortunately the gameplay takes a backseat to what feels like countless hours of walking around, reading documents, listening to audio tapes, and watching cutscenes.
There are 5 acts in this game, each taking about 1-2 hours to complete on normal difficulty. After each act you are forced to watch a full TV episode of a Quantum Break tv show. Yes, you have to stop and watch TV after every 1-2 hours of gameplay... That is incredibly annoying, frustrating, immersion breaking, and pace breaking. Especially on repeat playthroughs.
Thankfully you can skip these TV episodes, but you will miss out on a big chunk of the story. After the 2nd Act, I got confused about what was going on and I lost interest. Side note, I personally tend to struggle to keep up with time travel, parallel universe, multi-dimension type of storylines in video games and movies. But if that is your cup of tea, then I think you will find the story in this game interesting.
Overall, this was an ambitious project, which unfortunately didn't hit the mark and has not aged very well with its structure. It has fun gameplay moments, an interesting story (for those who can keep up), but the overall experience is pretty frustrating and underwhelming.

gameplay fun, histoire très sympa, mais clairement le mouton noir du remedyverse
Condom break khekhekhekhe
gunplay meh mas a história é boa
Quantum Break es un juego que logra su denominación como videojuego por lo justo, y es que gran parte de su enfoque y modo de desarrollo se basa en contar una historia supremamente interesante intentando adaptarla a una jugabilidad y unas mecánicas que no son para nada necesarias, pero que de igual forma no dejan de ser bastante innovadoras. Para comenzar, Quantum Break es un juego de acción, tenemos el control de Jack Joyce, un hombre que gracias a un accidente en un experimento científico que involucra a una máquina del tiempo obtiene unos poderes bastante peculiares que le permiten (entre otras cosas) detener o acelerar el flujo del tiempo en determinados objetos o personas. Todo el gameplay se basa en esta premisa; podemos congelar determinados objetivos en el tiempo, crear burbujas protectoras, movernos rápidamente, etc., mientras nos abrimos paso con las herramientas básicas y rudimentarias de todo título de acción: armas de fuego. La pequeña explicación de la historia de ahí arriba es solo una muestra de la excusa que necesitaba Remedy para agregar jugabilidad y mecánicas a un guion muy bien escrito e investigado. Ahora bien, la premisa de la historia es dejarnos pensando durante mucho tiempo y reflexionando sobre lo que acabamos de ver; es tanta su importancia en el juego que hasta segmentos live action fueron grabados para dar más solidez y contexto a los personajes secundarios. Irónicamente solo 4 de las aproximadamente 10 horas de juego (mi experiencia) son de jugabilidad real, las otras 6 nos las pasaremos observando unas muy bien logradas actuaciones tanto reales como en motion capture y leyendo numerosos objetos narrativos que nos explican el trasfondo de una historia de viajes en el tiempo que se sale de lo convencional y entrega un guion sólido. El problema principal de Quantum Break está en la poca importancia que le dieron a mezclar este tipo de narrativa con la jugabilidad. Las dos son muy buenas (la historia es mucho mejor pero el gameplay no es malo en absoluto) pero la narrativa se lleva por encima a los segmentos en los que el jugador tiene el control y todo, incluyendo el protagonista, pasa a un segundo plano otorgando demasiada importancia a personajes que está presentes solo para dar forma a la trama principal. Dentro de las mecánicas se han incluido segmentos en los que el jugador tiene la posibilidad de elegir entre dos posibles futuros, cambiando algunas acciones y el contenido de los live action, pero es una opción que a la larga no agrega mucho y está presente solo para intentar dar la sensación de variedad cuando a fin de cuentas el flujo del juego es bastante lineal. Probablemente si hubieran adaptado mejor esos segmentos a la historia de los viajes en el tiempo y sus consecuencias estaríamos hablando de otras cosas. Remedy nos entrega un título muy hermoso visualmente, con una de las mejores historias sobre viajes en el tiempo que se ha visto en mucho y con una jugabilidad que explora nuevas mecánicas. Se recomienda jugarlo, no por su jugabilidad (irónicamente) si no por la gran historia que Remedy ha creado y quiere contarnos por medio de un juego que fue exclusivo de Xbox One por muy poco tiempo.
I was completely sucked in. Binged it.
Phenomenal experience. This game and Control probably have my favorite combat in gaming. The mechanics are so innovative and fun to use. Remedy's expected excellent storytelling through collectibles is present plus a genuinely intriguing (and expectedly confusing) sci-fi time travel story. The unique structure of live-action TV episodes in-between gameplay acts was incredible and I really wish that we could get a sequel to this story in the same way. It could definitely be better but for a first attempt at something so fresh, it's hard to complain because it was plenty effective and entertaining. The final boss fight mechanics drove me nuts and was the only time I remotely struggled in combat. Otherwise, most of my issues are minor and will be easily forgotten because my memories will be of how immersed I was in this world for 12 hours over two days.
Os manos de Max Payne só lançam pedrada.
eu amo esse jogo
Gostei bastante da jogabilidade e do conceito, porem a história e seus personagens são muito genéricos, o que causa uma persa imensurável no impacto de tudo, e também terminar com cliffhanger e no fim floppar, bem triste; mas seu visual é algo de se elogiar.
Quantum Break ainda que não seja o melhor trabalho já feito pela Remedy Entertainment por trazer uma ideia arriscada de intercalar a gameplay do jogo com uma série live-action que consequentemente dividiu e divide até hoje a comunidade por trazer uma perceptível quebra de ritmo devido a isso. Realmente, essa série traz alguns problemas que não são habituais no desenvolvimento das tramas dessa desenvolvedora (que talvez até seja pela pressa em lança-lo do que qualquer outra coisa) pois o roteiro mesmo que seja bom e interessante como de costume da empresa traz momentos problemáticos demais, seja por ser mal-executado ou até por trazer efeitos ruins ou mal-feitos na tela que trazem todo um ar de amadorismo nas cenas dessa série. Mas mesmo que esses problemas são claros no desenvolvimento da série live-action em si, a da gameplay é competente ao que propõe e toda a ideia estabelecida entre tentar mudar o que já está pré-estabelecido no destino é interessante demais e bem explorada aqui ao ponto de você querer ver a todo momento o desfecho da história do jogo, além disso, a gameplay em si e os gráficos são incríveis com uma combinação de poderes que envolvem toda essa estética de controle do tempo que te divertem demais ao ponto de você está sempre querendo usá-las no game, por isso, vale demais tentar dar uma chance a Quantum Break ainda que o mesmo tenha problemas visíveis e escancarados na sua série live-action.
pretty serviciable/enjoyable action adventure game by Remedy.
good and solid gameplay, using Jack's array of time powers and destroying enemies with it felt pretty fun through the entire game, the gunplay is not the best I had seen in the genre especially coming from Remedy who did an fantastic job on the Max Payne games but here while the weapons had an great punch the overall selection of them felt fairly generic most of the time.
the visuals are great, the whole art direction and particles usage was on point and the cutscenes were almost breathtaking because of the animation used on the characters's faces.
the narrative was largely carried by it's perfomances, Remedy hired well-known actors towards the characters and the result is fantastic but the overall story is your standard convoluted time-travel mess though it does have it's interesting portions like in the TV show or the unique universe for example.
overall Quantum Break is an pretty fun game, it's story is hard to follow and requires a lot of investigation through all the game's collectibles and the need to watch all the episodes of the live-action cutscenes which basically takes half of the storyline but the rest like the perfomances and gameplay largely carries this game around.

É um jogo bem genérico, por mais que os gráficos e jogabilidade sejam interessante, a história obvia não me agradou tanto como esperei.
Hikayesi ve prodüksiyon için çok para harcanmış. Oynanış bunların yanında sönük kalıyor
It is very cool, i don't mean the game
Posits a terrifying alternate reality where everyone is forced to use Windows Phones
Нет, ну какое же говно!
Тут всё сделано хуёво, прежде всего — игра. Как шутер это дико пресно: способности банальные, враги скучные и стандартные (обычные, юркие и бронированные), а оружие звучит и ощущается будто трещотка.
Сериал категории «С», который ничего не добавляет к истории, рассказывая о третьестепенных персонажах, на которых, естественно, наплевать. А ведь и кат-сцен в игре хватает.
И экспролинг: записки, море записок, их не только дофига, но они ещё и наполнены «водой»! Возможно сценаристам в «Remedy» платят за количество знаков. Иначе эту графоманию объяснить невозможно. Ну, ещё можно найти очки для прокачки способностей. Вот только возвращаться не дают.
В итоге выглядит прохождение этого высера выглядит примерно как: «Кат-сцена, блуждание по локации и чтение записок, перестрелка (короткая), блуждание и чтение, 20 минут сериала».
Если вырезать отсюда сериал и чтение записок (они бывают очень длинными), то игры останется часа на 4-5. А так всё это тянется часов 8-10. Причем сама история... скучная. Это обычная для жанра временная петля, да ещё и с намёком на продолжение. Я не удивлен, что эта херня провалилась. Здесь настолько сломан темп, будто бы специально старались.
P. S. А ещё в игре адово мыльная графика и мерзкое, слишком резкое освещение, постоянно перерастающее в пересветы.

Well, this was a weird experience. At its core, there are three elements to the game. First is the third-person shooter element where you use the powers of time to zip around the area, freezing enemies as you stack bullets into a satisfying collective shot. Second is the episodic nature with a single dilemma at the end of each, with a little preview of the consequences of each choice before making it. The third is the live-action TV show, where the content is based on how you chose to get through the previous dilemma while making a few minor tweaks if you got all the collectables in that section. While the live-action part is quite cool, seeing the character being played by their actual actors, they go on for far too long. So much so that there were times I had to remind myself that I was playing a game.
Oynanışı iyi awk sarıo.
O melhor exclusivo do XBOX e mesmo assim continua sendo um jogo mediano com uma história boa
Como esperado da Remedy, o jogo impressiona com sua física e gráficos até hoje.
É uma história com uma premissa bem interessante, que se perde criativamente ao longo do jogo, não sei explicar o que acontece, mas a cada capítulo novo a história fica mais fraca. Mas o que mais gosto na narrativa é essa mistura multimídia, que funciona muito bem aqui, acho que esse descanso de cada ato com um episódio de série caiu super bem ao jogo.
Eu não entendo o que acontece em Quantum Break, mas ele quase chega lá em vários aspectos, a jogabilidade por exemplo é quase boa.
Tá, o boss final é uma dos piores que eu já vi, é muito pouco explicado o que tem que ser feito nele e você só morre e morre repetidas vezes sem entender onde está errando. Tive que ver uns vídeos pra entender o que tinha que ser feito.

I feel like this game often gets overlooked as it released at the peak of Xbox-hate. But I love this story and the episode elements of the game that would change based on your actions is a pretty cool and unique feature.
the little gameplay you get out of this is alright but good fucking grief do you have to wade through some DUMB live action show of this in between chapters
