Quantum Break

This is a really rough game in 2025 with a range of issues.

I picked this up a while back and tried giving it a play on the Steamdeck. With the mixture of locked 30FPS pre-rendered gameplay cut-scenes, the in-game live rendered cut-scenes at 60FPS and the actual gameplay running anywhere from 50-60 FPS, it's a very rough experience.

On low / medium settings with the default upscaling (which is a legacy upscaler) you're able to get 60FPS but it never feels smooth in movement (even with vsync disabled and a 60FPS limit put on the deck). The game itself looks very poor in movement, it constantly wobbles, shimmers and shakes and it's incredibly distracting. I get it's a 2016 game but it looks and feels so much worse than Control, a similar game from a similar time period.

The game is part live action so after each major segment you'll get a video. No that video isn't stored locally, it's on some far away server in Kazakhstan streaming to you at 720p at the lowest bitrate possible (which will still somehow stutter and pause mid stream). I ended up just skipping these and watching them on YouTube. I'm amazed they just didn't give you an option to download these considering that's exactly what the Xbox version had.

I expected a decent story and game from Remedy since I enjoyed Control, but this one was a huge miss for me, I didn't enjoy the convoluted storyline at all and it's very shallow set of decisions.

I'm so glad I picked this one up on sale years ago and didn't pay full price for it.

Just finished the game on Steamdeck and I gotta say it ran amazingly at medium settings. Never dipped below 30 and was very smooth, though the fans were going crazy.

Story was pretty interesting, and even the live action episodes were pretty cool, but I didn’t really see a need for them since they already had cutscenes, it didn’t really add much for me.

The gameplay is pretty sick, time powers are amazing to use, guns are pretty standard but it feels great to use both in tandem to get rid of enemies.

Overall it was a great game, a little on the short side so I would recommend getting it on sale like I did, but I’m glad I played it. Remedy always does a pretty great job.

Game with an interesting plot. Things about past events and future consequences of the events. You have multiple options to pick but it doesn't impact the story that much. Although you get little hidden details here and there with each decisions.

Reading the documents, images, hearing the radio and character logs were very interesting. Everything gave an idea of what was going on in the game. How there were factions within factions. Also, there are tributes to Alan Wake. I liked that too.

The game has great visuals for its time. The details to the environment and special effects during fights were awesome. Just walking around the university and the island was beautiful. Even the inner environments were good looking.

I didn't find the music of the game that much to my liking. I liked 2 songs. Not that much good music. Although the mid episodes helped me get immersed in the story.

The game mechanics were fun. The guns and ammunition were basic but the time related powers were fun to play with. Although it would be more fun if there were more weapon choices or throwables like time grenade or something. That would be fun.

All over, it was a fun experience. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes a linear single player game. Its a bit short for a game enthusiast but its enough for a casual gamer.

An absolute fantastic game!! One of the few games with a story that completely pulled me in from start to finish. With the game being older, there are some glitches (elites spinning uncontrollably) and the likes, but that is to be expected with no more patches coming out. Due to the glitches though, I give this game a 9/10.

I already played it on Xbox One when it came out. I liked it a lot. I recently tried to play it via the PC game pass but it has some graphical issues and the episodic videos wouldn’t play in the Microsoft Store version. Users on reddit suggested that both these issues are not present on the Steam version. So here I am.

Like all Remedy games, fantastic storytelling, fascinating world building, and great characters!

Don't think too hard to question too much and you will have a good time. Even if it does drag on a bit at times.

It was an interesting and different game. It's worth trying once.

This game has cinematic cutscenes/episodes that are streamed between chapters and the servers/CDN they are hosted on is rubbish causing them to constantly buffer. On XBox they can be downloaded in an episode pack "Quantum Break Episode Pack" allowing the cutscenes to be played offline, over slow internet or in locations/countries that the servers/CDN simply fail to serve. In Australia these videos can't stream without buffering even on an uncontested 1gbps connection. There are also many reports of the video hosting going down completely, preventing the episodes playing at all.

This is completely unacceptable as the product simply cannot work correctly for many customers. For many customers this issues cannot be fixed and they have to try to watch the cutscenes on YouTube, however this can be tricky as they are dependant on various choices and discoveries made during gameplay. This will be the first game I have ever requested a refund on.

one of the coolest game i ever played great story line great actors and great game . man i love this game so much .

Is it possible to make a great TV series and a game at the same time ?
Well, Quantum Break says fuck yeah!
Amazing graphics, a great story, wonderful gameplay with different time skills, modeling, programming, level design, lightning everything is almost immaculate.
Now time for the bad things:
1 - After all that choices we made as Paul Serena, why didn't it feel like we were making a difference ?
2 - Upgrade menu could have been better,
3 - Optimization at one point,
4 - It always felt like, i was fighting at same difficulty and short.
I can't really think of anything else for the moment.

Nearly 9 years later and this game is still awesome. Undeniably a Remedy game with both their iconic fight mechanic and the combination of live action and in game cut scenes, make this a great title to come back to every few years. The story has me hooked up each time I replay and the different combination of ways the story can play out gives you a good illusion of being in control of the narrative between the start and finish.

Definitely can recommend this game, if you are fan of the devs looking for more- this is a must play!

Great game, great story. Love you Remedy.

wtf with the ending tho?

Very impressive game from remedy studio. there is some Tasty bug's But it's worth the Time 🌹

I love playing Remedy games, but the check points are awfully placed on this one, It makes playing this game incredibly frustrating, It is not fun at all, give this one a miss. Buy Control instead, that is a far better gaming experience. And Remedy, ditch the check points and allow the player to save!

Content buffering on the episodes, Therefore a good review from me is also buffering.

I don't suggest buying this game unless we can download the live action scenes. Otherwise the whole game gets stuck with content buffering errors.

it's feels like more a movie than a game, but it's very good one

S tier story.
The ending was a cliffhanger hinting a potential sequel but it probably got cancelled.
The visuals are pretty stunning for a 8.5 year old game. If the visuals are blurry, kindly turn off upscaling and restart the game. The way the game managed to visually represent broken time through distortions and particle effects was quite creative. To be honest, Remedy Games are known for this kinda stuff so it shouldn't be a surprise.
The pacing is kinda bad in this game, there is a lot of stuff to read and listen to which can break the immersion sometimes.
The gunplay is good in my opinion, the powers are pretty fun to use but there is a lack of enemy variety which makes it repetitive after a certain point.
A lot of people complained about the live shows but it wasn't that bad in my opinion. The actors did a decent job.
100% the game is kinda easy and so is obtaining all the achievements. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me for a story rich genre game.

Review: I would consider this game a interactive series rather than an actual game. If you are not a fan of cinematic and story driven games, close this store page immediately and keep scrolling.
The game has 4 "episodes", one after every major choice the player - these are pretty long if you don't enjoy these type of "interruptions" so to speak. After each, you have a few hours of game play where you interact with objects, read emails and watch videos, listen to audio clips, or fight against the bad guys.

The combat itself starts off simple, the powers are pretty OP, if you play "Normal" this game is a breeze UNTIL the last chapter of the game where you face the final boss - THIS FIGHT ... This fight almost made me give up the game quite honestly, I initially played the game on "HARD" but it was impossible to succeed in the battle, every time I thought I was there I would get one shotted by one of the enemies, forcing me to drop the difficulty to "NORMAL" and missing out on the platinum achievement. This sucks as a completionist, but all the hours you see here is me trying to get the final battle win on hard mode.

You can replay the game and choose the chapters you want to restart, so, if you don't care much about story and just want achievements for the other choices, this makes it easy.
The story itself seems pretty "locked in" - when you replay the game the opposite way it's easy to notice. There are some obvious changes such as the second NPC that joins you, the ending scene dialogue, some of the notes/videos you find. But overall, there's just one ending, and I wouldn't consider this a real "choice matter" game since they all lead you to a similar plot line.

All in all, this is a nice experience, the ending battle is beyond frustrating but the story was interesting and the visuals were captivating, the game is quite demanding so sometimes there are drops in performance but nothing crazy. I would give it a 6.5/10, and a good experience for those who want an overall relaxing and cinematic driven game, but I'm a tough critic.

This game is 70gbs and most of that is uncompressed video files of like a CW show. #SamLakeIsGOAT

This product is a symbiosis of a series, interactive storytelling and a game that allows you to unravel an interesting story like a ball of wool woven by time and sequence of actions.

Yes, there are some disadvantages of the game (for example, in some places you can't skip the same moments), but still they are leveled by the final quality of what came out in the end, as well as the narrative itself.

So, finally played this game to completion. Awesome. The episodes being interwoven with the different acts in the game is very cool. Graphics are great, combat great. Wish you had a sprint option in movement but not a deal breaker. Story is very good, intricate & detailed as well as some surprises I didn't see coming. If a 2nd game was released I'd play it too. Does have frame drops when transitioning from cut scenes to game play but overall game is solid. I don't like the fact that ultrawide support is sub-optimal. I could only go with my monitor native of 3440x1440 instead of any of my custom resolutions that are larger.

A very long shooter. Loved the interactive story and all the choices. If you are not used to shooting games then this won't be for you but, if you push past that side of it the story made it all worth it. I would definitely recommend

remedy never fails when comes to third person shooter, and this time is not differente. excelent gunplay, the time perks are very enjoyable. the story of the game is cool and boring at the same time, because its well scrypted and acted but the live action show is little bit silly. i would recommend this game easily, worth totally, and you can always skip the live action if its bores you.

I think the game is good. It's definitely for more of more for people who like a long... LONG... story driven game. I'm not a fan of playing a game with choices just to have the choice acted out in a live action skit that takes 15 minuets. I don't know how many there are because after the first one I lost interest. It killed my immersion.

After all it was pretty enjoyable.
I should've reviewed it before as I don't remember much about the game nowadays.
Only that the bad guy, as usual, was actually right or something.

TL;DR:
+ Story: 9/10.
+ Graphics (design, models, facial animations, effects): 8.5/10.
- Graphics (overall impression): 5/10.
- Gameplay: 4/10.
- Performance: 3/10.

Maybe the pros and cons listed below will help you to make a decision whether or not to give this game a chance. My first 2 playthroughs were on an XBox SX + Sony TV with decent quality of upscaling, so I didn't experience half of the negative aspects of this game back then, maybe that's why I still give it a Recommended.

Pros:
+ Story: 9/10. Although, since it's about time travel, there're a number of dumb things such as characters talking about the fact that it's impossible to change what's already happened; however, for some reason they think they can stop the Fracture which technically has already happened because P. and B. saw the End of Time, so the activation of the CFR would take place in the past.. Nevertheless, I'd say it's the best story among all Remedy's games (who would have thought that Sam Lake's Alan Wake 2 would be schizophrenic nonsense) and it easily deserves a movie or a TV show which it kind of gets since between every act there's a ~20-minute "cutscene" with real actors, although a separate movie/show would still be great. It's quite unusual to see real actors and their digitised versions in the same game, and not only that but also, the decorations, costumes, cars. Remedy did a really good job on that.
+ Graphics (design, models, facial animations, effects): 8.5/10. The game also has unique and memorable visual elements.
+ Choices you make in the Junction chapters affect: live-action show, the fates of some minors characters, dialogues, documents, small details and a boss fight. The main storyline is linear though. Also, if you solve the equation in the very beginning, that will be reflected in the live-action show as well. By the way, IMO Nick is a better and funnier companion than Amy. I'd definitely recommend replaying the game to see all possible outcomes; you can replay ANY chapter on ANY difficulty which is great.

Something to keep in mind:
* I know that reading notes is boring and it distracts from the action gameplay pace but some of them are really important to know the characters better and empathise with them, so my advice is: at least pay attention to Will's and Beth's notes.

Cons:
- Graphics (overall impression): 5/10. The game is blurry AF and everything is lo-res regardless of the settings. Disabling Upscaling doesn't do much except for reducing FPS from 100-140 to 50-60.
- Performance: 3/10. FPS can drop to 30 after almost each cutscene (not always though) and, what's worse, during some gunfights, so prepare for a cinematic 24-fps experience (sometimes it's literally a slideshow). Funnily, Upscaling doesn't affect those severe FPS drops at all. I don't remember having these issues on my Xbox.
- Gameplay: 4/10. Sadly, the most important part of every game is somewhere between mediocre and boring. The good thing is that the game is quite short.

Cons (non-crucial but noticeable):
- Live-action show is online only, so your game is held hostage by Steam. If I'm not mistaken, on Xbox it's possible to download the entire show to your local storage.
- But who truly holds the game hostage is Microsoft, so it's highly unlikely that someone will ever address the graphics and performance issues.
- The only way to set a 4K resolution is via a .ini file
- The 30 FPS lock setting and aim-assist enabled by default are embarrassing and also aren't something you would expect to see in a PC game, unless it's a lazy console port.
- White cursor on a white screen was a terrible decision.
- Both Charlie and Liam are p*ssy sl*ves, except Liam is more of a "combat p*ssy sl*ve", so you have to deal with this contradiction when you want to empathise with him but every time his wife is brought up in a conversation he loses his mind completely and you begin to hate him, even Charlie looks less pathetic.
- Within the first 5 minutes of the game you see Saga Anderson before she became an ugly Swedish rapper - a reminder of how pathetic Remedy has become over the years because almost none of their projects were commercial successes, so they had to beg for alms and do whatever their investors (Microsoft, Epic Games) told them to. You still think this Saga was an Easter egg? Sure, keep coping.

It has all the elements of a good game but the mix is all wrong.

Too much walking, collecting docs, too little challenge and fun.
The story is technically interesting but lacks any emotional core.

Remedy loves vocalising character inner monologue (in here it's framed as the main character being questioned), but its constant presence is distracting here and feels like a clunky attempt to overexplain the convoluted plot to the masses. And even then a lot of plot threads are half baked and there is not enough breathing room to get immersed in this setting.

For Remedy fans only with a big discount.

Man this is a funny ass game. It's not good but it's funny

Why isnt there an I just Like this button? It's great. Scifi, mystery, action. Good story. Mind bending. Why do I need to type all this. I just want the algorithm to know what I like.

worst story, villans, full of lags and bugs, graphics of lawest quality, and controls are so low dump

The most Remedy of Remedy games, I both liked it more and less than Control, I finished it in couple of days and enjoyed it, suprisingly ran worse than Control. with lots worse frame rates. The bosses were generally worse along with the level design.

The combination of tv series is strange. I did like the look the most of the combat which had some FEAR touches. Did not like Remedy manadatory platforming and gimmick skills tests. Up to Act 3 really enjoyed it Act 3 I hated it and ran like crap on my computer. Act 4 and 5 are mostly better apart from the very cheap final boss where I had to resort to a walkthough and it was stupid and annoying.

Liked the Alan Wake and Control easter eggs. Very polished apart from the Microsoft and Nissan co-branding that was very very obvious and made it look very mid market American cable show. Good cast story is so so still waiting for Remedy to be as good as Max Payne 2.

Very unique concepts and ideas. Unfortunately the gameplay is lacking in multiple aspects. The 2 most annoying aspects for me were the auto adjusting over the shoulder camera and the auto crouching when in combat. The story also has inconsistencies and the plot armor is insane in the mini-series (the pseudo john wick is the one i am referring to). Not the quality i am expecting from Remedy but I saw that another well known company was also involved in the production of this game so i'll just blame the bad parts on them. Liked the ideas but the game is not worth it in my opinion, glad that i could give remedy some more money for their future project tough :)

I have waited since 2016 when this game was first shown to play it. I had a PS4 at the time and no way of playing it. Flash all the way to 2025 and I have a PC capable of playing it. While it has optimization issues (I am on a 2080 super and ryzen 7600) at 1440p I would get some wildly changing fps from liek 120 to 45 all in the same area. The game lived up to the hype for me 9 years later and this game has made me want to play the entire remedy catalog. Can not wait to play Control one day. 10/10 game has its issues but this is what I like in a game good story, good characters fun combat. It is all here.

I loved this game! It had a great story and interesting game mechanics!!

This game should have been amazing, however stumbles over multiple issues (gameplay mechanics, story presentation etc.).

This game really set up the foundation for the Remedy Connected Universe, even if they can't legally say it did.

It runs really well on my 4060/i7-13620H/16gb RAM laptop at the highest settings, with no frame drops whatsoever.

Gameplay is enjoyable, though a bit basic, but that's to be expected with this being the first Remedy game with the main focus of merging a show and a game into one.

Speaking of the show, it's one of the best things about QB while simultaneously being the worst things about QB; as many others have said, the servers the episodes are stored on are absolute doo-doo garbage and constantly cut-out every few seconds even with a stable 150+ MB internet connection. I wouldn't be so disappointed with this if the show wasn't an integral, core part of the experience. It's rather surprising nothing has been done to fix it (by either Remedy or Microsoft) due to the uptick of people wanting to play it after Alan Wake II. But, I can look past the streaming issues and still say that its watchable.

Moving on from complaints, I'd like to praise the amazing time-travel story that has been crafted here, with complex plot points and great wrap-around "Ohh, so that's what happened there!" moments that it gave throughout. The acting was great (as to be expected from Shaun Ashmore and crew) and helped to elevate both the in-game stuff and the show (when it was working).

In conclusion Quantum Break is a must-play for fans of Remedy, and great game for those who love time-travel narratives despite a few flaws.
8/10 all things considered.

This game is Fire literally, I am amazed that such an old game have such high graphics with awesome story line and good control. It's literally beating some of 2024-2025 games. My appreciate the Game Developers and the Whole Crew.

Great game! I love the time powers. And the graphics are good. Gun play is very good. The story was phenomenal. Truly a hidden gem. I recommend 10/10.

Often whispered in the halls of "forgotten greats," Quantum Break is a Remedy Entertainment game that deserves to be blasted out of temporal stasis and back into the spotlight. If you're a devotee of Alan Wake's atmospheric mystery and Control's mind-bending powers and narrative depth, then buckle up, because Quantum Break is your next obsession.

This isn't just another shooter with a gimmick; it's a signature Remedy experience dripping with their trademark storytelling prowess. You'll be immediately immersed in a world teetering on the brink of a time-fracture, a compelling premise delivered with the studio's flair for cinematic presentation. Like Alan Wake, it weaves a complex narrative tapestry, drawing you in with intriguing characters and a central mystery that unfolds with delicious suspense. And much like Jesse Faden's Oldest House adventures in Control, Quantum Break embraces the bizarre, layering time-manipulating powers into both engaging combat and a narrative that constantly twists and surprises.

While perhaps overshadowed at launch, Quantum Break remains a fantastic showcase of Remedy's unique vision. Its innovative blend of gameplay and live-action television episodes was ambitious and, at its core, a testament to their dedication to narrative immersion. The time-bending mechanics are not just visually stunning but also deeply integrated into combat, creating dynamic and satisfying encounters.

For fans yearning for more of that distinct Remedy magic – the atmospheric storytelling, the unsettling mysteries, the protagonists grappling with extraordinary circumstances – Quantum Break is a temporal anomaly worth experiencing. Dust off this underrated gem; you'll find a forgotten Remedy classic that absolutely deserves to be remembered and celebrated alongside their more recent triumphs. Prepare to have your perception of time, and gaming, delightfully fractured.

Weakest entry in the Remedyverse games, but still enjoyable. Gameplay is probably the weakest aspect of the entire game, but it isn't bad - just basic. The integrated TV show was an enjoyable aspect for me and I found the story enjoyable. Play it if you really wanna understand the Remedyverse and everything happening in Alan Wake/Control.

This game has undoubtedly amazing production values for 2016: mocap is spot on, character models are amazing, special effects are next level. Gameplay wise, playing with the time related powers is really fun. The only big letdown was the writing. "Time is like an egg, and the egg is broken,..." no ****! It was so bad that it became fun, so kudos for that!

Could hare been a great Exclusive for Xbox but they fumbled hard with the story. Which got over people's head.

I liked :

- The shooting mechanics are serviceable, and the time-manipulation abilities can be fun to experiment with, but the combat quickly becomes repetitive.you get bunch of different abilities like slow motion, speed, energy blast.


- visuals are stunning, with impressive character models and well-executed time distortion effects.

- Easy to understand controls, smooth controller support.

I disliked:

- The story was dull, uninteresting, their show felt like an indie show

- Cutscenes, and show elements interrupts your gameplay

- Repetitive combat, enemy variety is very less

- though fps was stable 60 at the beginning, Game starts dropping FPS From 60 to 38 in High

settings. It was hard for me to shoot the enemies because of the constant fps drops


My personal rating is 6 out of 10

Time Travel, enough said. seriously though, this game is excellent, so much action, stopping time. the only down side is no manual saves for you to try different things. i missed a lot of secrets (and didn't want to use the walk through). i love the integration of game and live action movies. also, i was told that this game along with Alan Wake and Control are somehow connected, can't wait to find out how.

Quantum Break is an absolute gem for fans of Remedy's storytelling. The game stands out not only for its innovative time-manipulation mechanics and live-action integration but also for how it connects to the wider universe alongside Control and Alan Wake. As someone who enjoys unraveling deep, interconnected narratives, this game hits all the right notes. Highly recommended for anyone invested in Remedy's universe or simply looking for a unique and engaging experience! Beside i got this game in huge discount AF after playing Alan Wake 1,2 and Control.

genuinely fascinating bit of remedy's history that i wish had significantly less corporate meddling than what clearly occurred. you can constantly tell that a much more interesting, weird story that would much more explicitly use time travel as a metaphor for grief lurks just beneath the surface of a game that microsoft wanted to be a more broadly appealing superhero origin story, and i wish all those weird and super compelling elements hidden in emails and notes got a bit more explicit screentime, especially in relation to the relationship between jack and will. although, I do find the choice system in this game to be interesting, at least in the context of who we're making choices for.

gameplay wise, it's pretty solid, but nothing too crazy or mind-blowing. I had overall a pretty good time with the time powers, but it's clear that control is the more refined experience of this.

overall, a decent game that's often overlooked, and an underappreciated part of remedy's catalogue, but it's a genuine shame that they couldn't get More Weird with it.

It's a nice story-driven action adventure. It's running perfect on my PC - no problems whatsoever....

Short story without the episodes but still fun.

Its a great game, with a good story, not a great story, but good.

The mouvements mechanics are a bit scuffed at times, like I was able to climb invisible walls because I could wiggle myself in places where we shouldn't be (Wiggle against a weird geometry would get my character to just gain height suddenly).
