I decided to finally play Quantum Break after playing Remedy's more recent Control, which is one of my new favorite games for its gunplay/powers, world design, lore, and interesting side quests. This game had none of that. All of the style and unique ideas are lost behind a VERY generic third person shooter, with a semi-bland story and repetitive combat. I liked the live-action segments and the choices felt weighty considering the outcomes on the pre-recorded elements, but the game felt like it ran too long, even at a relatively short 10 hours. What is great is that Remedy has created a superior successor to this game in Control and if you have not given that game a try, play that one (and its DLC) instead. Mediocre at best here.
