An absolutely phenomenal sequel to my previous favorite game I've played in 2021, everything great in the first game this game does even better. Combat is actually fun with me being indecisive on my main moveset in game, which usually means I'm enjoying everything I have. As soon as the game felt stale it introduced something's new that blew me away and kept me interested, with 4 enormous areas, I found myself exploring every area I could. With an amazing story, great characters, and near perfect visuals, this game kept me hooked from start to finish. The new point system and item shop streamlines everything, from improving and prefecting what you already know, to strengthen your new moves, and the new pins make exploration, combat, and even spendings much easier. Plus, 100%ing the game is even easier now with a postgame item.

This game is even better than the first, with my only complaint being how you can't enter your Levitation Ball from midair. 11/10, would absolutely recommend again.

In my personal opinion, one of the better games or even media that handle time travel well.
This is technically my 2nd playthrough as I played the original on XBOX, but it was still as great as when I first played a couple of years ago.
With so many options to choose and collectibles, this game is great on the first, and second playthrough.
The combat is great as well, every ability that you have is absolutely fun, and the variety of weapons keeps it feeling fresh.
Your powers are used for more than combat, you get puzzle solving abilities, and even some of your combat abilities can be used for collectible hunting and puzzle solving. And the dialogue is charming and interesting, it made me want to listen to every interaction the game has to offer.
You not only play as the hero, but at the end of every chapter, you take a step in the villain's shoes and help them affect the story, do you be calm and collected, show no mercy? The choice is yours, and it affects the overall story.
Finally, Quantum Break didn't need to go the extra mile, but they sure did, by having there be a high quality tv show at the end of every chapter, and collectibles aren't just for 100% the game, they unlock other things in the show, giving an incentive for casuals to get them, to get more story content.
This game isn't perfect, the parkour is a bit janky at times, and sometimes enemies just, don't work. But despite these flaws, it's a solid, A+ game.
An easy 8 or even a 9/10 for me.
