/// »A Movie That You Actually Play«

Quantum Break is all about - the story experience. So knowing that, I advise you to know 'as little as possible' about it. If you can forgive or take aside that this is 'not' a third person non-linear, open world or sandbox game, you will enjoy it a lot more.

The story is really intense with dramatic & mind twisting changes and it 'only gets better' with your progress. Animated cutscenes are really impressive, looking graphically almost too realistic. But that wouldn't be possible without Aidan Gillen (for many known as lord Baelish from the TV series Game of Thrones) that has done a 'tremendous work', playing as one of the main characters.

There is quite a lot of reading in the game (texts & emails on computers, mobiles, tablets, etc.), but I advise you not to skip it, because it explains many details and goes 'hand in hand' with the story. At the end of each act there is about 20 minutes long TV movie part. It could be 'a bit changed' along with some other parts of the story with your decisions at 'junction points' – you get a choice which way you want to progress with the 'main antagonist' of the game.

Because you were exposed to the chronon radiation at the Fracture of Time, you'll get new 'time manipulating powers'. They are fun & enjoyable, especially at the beginning of the game, but the other part of combat isn't that revolutionary at all; using quite ordinary guns & a cover method. You'll be using 'time vision' a lot if you'll want to find all collectibles (for upgrading your time powers) and other narrative objects.

This game is a true 'eye candy'. It looks graphically amazing, probably one of the best I have seen in the games so far. With their own new game engine it will bring you an astonishing visual experience to see time fractures & pulsing stutters around you. But on the other hand, you'll need a high performance PC if you'll want play at maxed settings; with a geforce gtx 1060 6 gb & 16 gb ram I wasn't able to have a smooth experience on ultra settings without upscaling.

The game also has some environmental puzzles, but nevertheless it is - a heavy character & story driven game. So, if you're looking for a game with rich story that looks visually amazing, you won't be disappointed.

Replay value: NOT really.
