Truly, the future of gaming.Īll in all, Quantum Break is one of the better Xbox exclusives out there. Your decision will determine how the episode of the miniseries will pan out. Made up of five gameplay acts, the game puts you in the shoes of Hatch at the end of each act, where you have to make a decision on how’d like to progress in the game. Starring The Wire’s Aidan Gillen as the antagonist Paul Serene and Lance Reddick as the scheming Martin Hatch, Quantum Break’s production values – both in the game and the miniseries – are at par with the best TV shows out there. He went from someone who had never shot a gun to someone who was wielding a tactical sub machine gun in a matter of hours. While that makes combat – always one of the things I most look forward to in a Remedy game – great fun, the one grouse I had against this game was the lack of a progression system in Jack’s ability to earn those powers. Playing as Jack Joyce, the boy-next-door-turned-time-bending-superman, you have the power to teleport, slow time down, create a force field against oncoming bullets, to name a few. However, that doesn’t take anything away from the exhilarating gameplay Quantum Break has to offer. I often had to stop and retrace the steps the protagonists took to make sense of what is happening in the timeline. Quantum Break’s story, while engaging, could’ve been a little less complicated. The game plays beautifully and looks even better. The seamless integration of a video game with a live-action miniseries mustn’t have been easy, but all the hard work has been worth it. Remedy, the studio behind one of my personal all-time favourite games, Alan Wake, have been working on Quantum Break for a fair bit now. It, quite possibly, is the future of gaming. Quantum Break is so much more than just another shooter.
