A good game that never reaches the heights of Alan Wake II and Control, but you can see the beginning of remedy's ideas that they would explore in those later games.
The combat and powers are fun, the story is cool and the graphics are outstanding for an 8 year old game, it could've been released today. It has amazing set pieces that create spectacle in the way remedy is best at, like the falling bridge or the crashing ship.
However I felt like it needed more. The tv show aspect was a nice idea but it was kind of a prototype to the live action mix we saw in Control and Alan Wake II, which works much better. It needed more enemy variety, more weapon variety, better upgrades, and just more gameplay. Much of the time spent on this is by watching the show and reading documents. Which is fine, Control has tons of documents too and remedy knows how to create interesting lore. But in Quantum Break specifically I feel like there are very few encounters and actual gameplay which in the end just left me wanting more.
