Quantum Break Standard Edition - Xbox One

Great game a lot of action it reminded me of infamous

I am writing in response from the other review, Yes the Digital version does in fact include the Windows copy for free, the code will be sent out week of 4/5/16, thru Xbox live Messaging system. I received my code for Quantum Break already, it's installed and Xbox recognized it, and thru the Xbox messaging system I also received Alan Wake American Nightmare code for the preorder. So YES it does in fact include Windows Version

I will admit i was skeptical at first on purchasing this game based on past experience with this type of theme in so many previously failed video games. But i have been nothing short of impressed, the game play is smooth and clean. Visuals are fantastic and crisp. Only downfall i can find is that the mini movies are extremely long in between episodes. Overall this game get all high marks and i would hope that a squeal will happen. Well worth the purchase and has replay ability based on decisions made in the game that change the course of the game.

I have played through Quantum Break twice and I really enjoyed the story line. The time travelling, time altered story is very fun and cinematic. The TV hybrid format was enjoyable, but different. It was weird to sit back and watch for 20 minutes after playing for an hour. The gameplay felt a bit like Mass Effect, with the cover-based shooting and powers to use that need to cooldown before using again. Being able to make decisions that alter the story line and characters is also similar to Mass Effect. Once you make a decision you have to live with it and let it play out. The graphics are very good, 720p or not. The developers created a unique style to their design and graphics, and it shows throughout the game and succeeds on that front. This was a good game that I was looking forward to, so I did not mind pre-ordering for $48 (Prime member). But if you are on the fence about this game, you may want to wait until it's in the $30-40 range. Very enjoyable, but maybe not worth full retail price. Also, there's no multiplayer, so don't buy this if you are interested in multiplayer or co-op.

Quantum Break tells the story of Jack Joyce, the wayward brother of a physics genius who has discovered the workings of quantum theory and, in the process, threatened the fabric of time itself. There's a greater conspiracy afoot involving family friend Paul Serene and the mysterious — of course — Monarch Corporation, and Jack is thrust into the middle of it all as he tries to pick up the pieces and save existence. Time travel stories are a tricky thing, and most collapse under the simplest scrutiny. Remedy's narrative operates from a simple, stabilizing premise: The past cannot be changed, but the future isn't set. By sticking to this concept, and mercilessly driving it home, Remedy pulls off the Looney Tunes rule pretty well —€” if you just keep running and don't look down, everything will be fine. The way Quantum Break handles story is, easily, the most interesting, successful thing about it. It's not that combat is bad —€” though its success is a little more uneven —€” but Remedy accomplishes something no one has really tried, much less successfully executed on: The studio has integrated the game of Quantum Break with a fully live-action episodic component.

Watch some videos first to see if this game is for you as it mixes real movie scenes with games. I liked it.

You control Jack Joyce in a race against time to stop someone from his past...or is it his future, from bringing an end to the world. Through an accident at a lab, you gain time manipulation abilities that you will use to fight enemies and solve puzzles while making choices in the story that effect the outcome. The game places like a standard 3rd person shooter with a the time control twist. There are also 15-20 live action cutscenes between chapters to keep the player up to speed on what the bad guys are doing. Another great Remedy game! Check it out.

This game was fun to play as it had solid, but not great gameplay but had a neat concept with the story. As you go through the game you will have to make choices that affect the story that is told. Every so often there will be a live action video that tells the story of various characters in the game and can change based on decisions you have made. I played it through twice just to see how things changed. I do not believe a third play through is needed as I have completed all acheivements in the game. If you are into a game that tells a story I would say give it a chance but probably not the best if you are into strictly shoot em ups as those elements are not as exciting as other games that are available.
