Quantum Break is an innovative hybrid TV show/game from Remedy Entertainment and Microsoft Studios. Remedy is responsible for such hits as Max Payne and Alan Wake and they've brought a lot of what's good about those games to Quantum Break . The cast is amazing.

The main characters of Quantum Break may frequently find themselves stuck in time, yet developer Remedy Entertainment appears to have no such problem. The team behind Max Payne and Alan Wake has successfully managed to evolve its signature style of cinematic shoot-'em-up for its latest release;...

The launch of Quantum Break - the first ever title shown for Xbox One - is finally here. It's the story of Jack Joyce (played by Shawn Ashmore) and his best friend Paul Serene (played by Aidan Gillen), caught on opposite sides of a fracture in time that threatens to bring about the end of time.

Well, you have to give Remedy credit for the vision. A time travel adventure that hands you extraordinary powers, as well as the opportunity to steer the story down different avenues; including for the live-action TV series thrown in as part of the package.

Scratch away at that and you've got a watchable TV series wrapped around a focussed and competent game, but Remedy's keen sense of style manages to elevate Quantum Break to something just about worthwhile. Maybe it's because of how eccentric the whole enterprise is.

A game like Quantum Break is a rarity. Retail shelves and digital stores see tens, if not hundreds of new titles every month and when one of them pushes the boundaries of what we know then people take notice.

Strong cast with a great script; Gorgeous in motion; Frantic and fun game play; Well crafted merger of gaming and television

Some minor control quirks; Sound inside ‘time stutters' is annoying

The Xbox One version of Quantum Break was primarily tested for the purpose of this review. Whilst Remedy isn't exactly known for publishing a steady stream of titles, but rather putting them a few years apart, they've always been known to deliver influential narratives that also build upon...

I honestly wanted to give Quantum Break a 10/10. I love sci-fi, I love confident and competent time travel stories and I love Remedy. It's a wonderful game, don't get me wrong, and is almost deserving of absolute praise but a couple of things glared once it was all done and dusted, when I completed...

Quantum Break was one of the first games to be announced for the Xbox One and lead the charge of Microsoft's vision for the new console to be the center of living room entertainment. Since [...]

Story; Time Based Gameplay Mechanics; Junction Points; Cross Media Experience

Gets repetitive towards the end; Choices don't affect TV Series much

It's come full circle. Remedy has always had a love affair with the physics of time. They popularised bullet time with Max Payne and when they moved over to Alan Wake it came to light that they also had a good cinematic flair (or is that flare?). So, what happens if you combine the two?

Time-based powers is a blast to use | The graphics..; is this real life? | The humour in the notes and emails | Great use of known actors

Remove the live action movies and CG cutscenes and you have a short gameplay session at hand | Junction decisions don't impact the game THAT much | Streaming video footage..; meh..
