Quantum Break Review // Eggplante

Eggplante: "Time travel is such a cliché concept in science fiction, but Quantum Break manages to ground itself in what feels like reality. The television show manages to be quite entertaining despite being a bit slow-moving and poorly produced in some areas. The entire experience is wrapped up into a single package that makes for a nice escape, but ends up being little more than just a good game."

Amother high score. The 8s, 9s, and 10s make up like 80% of the overall review scores. Incredible!!

ifinitygamer3692d ago

It would have been higher, but there were enough small missteps that brought it down. Otherwise, this game had the potential to be seriously great.

DARKKENT3692d ago

For someone that protests that scores don't matter rookie is sure trying to justify it's low metacritic score on a daily

Quite amusing really... Say one thing do another..

Overload3692d ago

You probably shouldn't focus on just the number of the score.

If you read the review and how they got to that score, you would see the graphics (95%) and audio (90%) are the only things that scored highly while the gameplay (74%) and story (77%) scored much lower. The score is an average of all the numbers.

It's not a bad review, but it's definitely not something to rave about.

christocolus3692d ago

Wow. You just keep trying so hard to downplay this game..Lol. Doesn't matter how you try to cut it. The final review is 86 and that's actually not a bad score. It's quite good and well over average. Atleast this reviewer is very happy with QB.

Rookie_Monster3692d ago

LOL, you are trying to hard Overload. I think you are out of negative reviews to post and is now resorting to this tactic to try to derail the masterpiece that is QB. Sorry, the high scores reviews are Still incoming as I have like 4 of them in my back pocket that is about to unleashed. :D

Black0ut3692d ago

Another game released on xbox console, another game that Overload tries his/her very hardest to downplay. You can play downplay wars and we can play the games. Hows that sound champ?

I'm getting déjà vu from these reviews. Alan Wake went down very similarly. Most people love it. Some people hate it. I myself am the former. Good timing to because QB and Gears beta will definitely tide me over till Uncharted.

starchild3692d ago

Same with me. Alan Wake for me was one of the best experiences I had last generation. The pattern of these reviews does seem very similar. Here's to hoping we enjoy Quantum Break just as much.

level 3603692d ago

After reading a couple of above average reviews and the flaws that they were all describing, will still be getting the game just the same.

XanderZane3692d ago

I'll still be getting this game. Sure the gameplay isn't perfect, but it still appears to be a very fun game and it continues to get good reviews. Many of these reviews don't even make it onto Metacritic, so who knows if that score could have been higher or not.

MagicBeanz3692d ago

Its getting decent score for graphics but the game play is short and flawed, lyp sync animation is awful and its filled with long FMV cut scenes and we all know form The Order long cut scenes are bad. This game did ok but its far from being a masterpiece like some think it is.

ifinitygamer3692d ago

The game is actually not short at all, probably about 8 hours, not including the live-action stuff, which is pretty great considering it does include about 2 hours of live-action cutscenes, as well as a decent bit of replayability. You are correct about there being some flaws, though they're not gamebreaking.
Long cutscenes are not inherently bad if they're done well, and these are done well, just not amazingly so.

MagicBeanz3692d ago

That's odd cause eight hours is considered short for any game that is Playstation exclusive. And I'd say The Order's cut scenes were done pretty damn well but that didn't seem to matter. Clearly there's a double standard, and I know why.

ifinitygamer3691d ago

I mean, eight hours for an experience is really dependent on the type of game. An eight hour GTA or Fallout - hell, a 20 hour GTA or Fallout - would be considered short. An eight hour shooter, however, is pretty good, especially when there are fleshed out live-video sequences in the game to extend the content for the players in a unique way outside of just playing the game for a longer period of time. The Order, IMO, was too long and drawn out with not enough new stuff to do, though I can't argue with the Thermite Rifle. That thing is still badass.

You're still overlooking this Remedy sci-fi shooter, and its 89% cheaper on Steam Deck

Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN789d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit789d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead788d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica788d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL788d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit788d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash788d ago (Edited 788d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper788d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica787d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer789d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit789d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer789d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit788d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183788d ago (Edited 788d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer788d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183788d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper788d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal789d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood789d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183788d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde789d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion804d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer804d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion804d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77804d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai804d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
