Quantum Break Review | Gamespresso

Gamespresso: "On paper, Quantum Break sounds like a fractured, weird mess. It sounds like something stuck in an odd limbo between wanting to be both a game and a TV-styled miniseries. In execution however, Remedy has not only delivered an engrossing science fiction story, but also a fun shooter, a unique, new form of interactive storytelling, and easily one of the best time travel games ever made."

Almost completed the game. What a great game. Those high scores are well deserved.

stimm163704d ago

It does definitely seem to be a divisive game though. Gamers looking for something more in line with a hardcore shooter are walking away a bit disappointed.

AngelicIceDiamond3703d ago

I'm playin through it and its solid so far though I'm not blown away by it but Im still early in however.

starchild3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Although I don't agree with you so far (since neither of us have beat it yet) I still respect your opinion. I was the one that agreed with you by the way, not the disagree.

There are basically three reasons why I find your opinion more respectable.

1. You weren't bashing or downplaying this game before you even played it, as certain users of this site had been doing.

2. You don't have a history of hating on everything that Microsoft publishes or is involved with.

3. You mostly used language that made it clear you were merely expressing your own opinion, instead of stating it as a fact and trying to shove it down everyone else's throat.

stimm163703d ago

It does start of pretty slow. Once the narrative ramps up however, I found myself enjoying it a lot more.

InsaneGam3r3704d ago

I never expected QB will be so damn good. I hope they will release DLC for the game.

stimm163703d ago

My only concern with DLC would be how it would fit into the game, and if it could maintain the same quality. The story is so unbelievably tight and well constructed, There just isn't anywhere I can see something easily being plugged in. And the story in the game is already so all-encompasing, I can't really think of where I would want a stand alone piece to add on. To be fair, I am totally on board for Remedy completely proving me wrong and doing an amazing job with DLC, but until then I am cautious of the idea.

starchild3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Well, I'm loving the game. The only downside is the performance on PC really could be better. Most of it is because it's a demanding, graphically advanced game, but in my estimation it should be more efficient than it is. Other than that, though, to my tastes this is another extremely memorable, unique, fun and well-executed game from Remedy. I love all the time manipulation stuff in the game, and the gameplay is as good as any third person shooter I can think of, plus the story it tells is just awesome, in my opinion.

TheGreatGamer3703d ago

I completed it today and wow I am left wanting more. Anyone else catch the after credits scene? A sequel is basically confirmed lol but for now I can't wait to play a second play through making different choices at the Junctions

Germaximus3702d ago (Edited 3702d ago )

Yeah I really loved the normal ending before credits. It would have been fine with just that. I felt so great at the ending. Then after the credits I was like whooooooaaaaaaaa! =) Unnecessary and still awesome.

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.

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.

GamerRN805d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit805d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead804d 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

TheEroica804d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL804d ago

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

S2Killinit804d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

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

StormSnooper804d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica803d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer805d 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

S2Killinit805d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer805d ago

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

S2Killinit804d ago

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

shinoff2183804d ago (Edited 804d 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.

Friendlygamer804d 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

shinoff2183804d 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)

StormSnooper804d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal805d 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.

TwoPicklesGood805d 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.

shinoff2183804d ago

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

DarXyde805d 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.

Petebloodyonion821d 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_Observer821d ago

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

Petebloodyonion820d ago

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

Lightning77820d 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_Observer820d ago (Edited 820d 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?

ZwVw821d ago (Edited 821d 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.

mastershredder821d ago (Edited 821d 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

Jingsing820d ago (Edited 820d ago )

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

isarai820d ago

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