The Quarry on Xbox Series X is a cinematic horror experience with a branching narrative where every choice can lead to a character’s survival or death. It features impressive visuals, strong voice acting, and a tense, immersive atmosphere. While the pacing can feel slow at times and gameplay is limited for those seeking action, its storytelling focus and replayability make it a solid pick for fans of interactive horror.

I really enjoyed playing this game. It reminds me of some of my favorite 80s slasher movies. The actors they cast in the game did a great job with their roles. Overall I think it was worth buy and I’d recommend it to any horror fan.

A solid successor to Until Dawn!

The Quarry revolves around 9 camp counselors who must do what they can in order to survive the unimaginable horror they will face during their last night at Hackett's Quarry. That is all I will share as far as the story goes as I do not want to spoil this game for anyone.
The Quarry is a game I had my eye on ever since the first trailer dropped earlier this year. As someone who enjoyed Until Dawn, I was eager to see how this game will turn out since Supermassive Games worked on it and while The Quarry is not perfect, I had a blast with the game and I cannot wait to keep playing it over and over again.
Just like Until Dawn, the story is determined by the choices you make such as how characters speak to each other and what actions they do during certain scenarios. Some choices have minor consequences while others can have a significant impact on how the story unfolds. This can include who will live or die. This alone will keep you on the edge of your seat as your choices can make the story go in unexpected ways. On top of this, you have no way of reversing your choices unless you start your current playthrough from the very beginning. Needless to say, choose carefully.
For the rest of this review, I will list my pros and cons of the game and go into some detail about what I have to say.
Pros
- Great cast who give memorable performances including the likes of David Arquette, Ted Raimi, Brenda Song, Ariel Winter, and Justice Smith just to name a few.
- Graphics look incredible (I played the Xbox Series X version). From the lighting, environments, character models, and motion capture. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought this was a live action movie.
- Some fun Easter eggs for all the horror movie lovers out there
- While the gameplay is similar to Until Dawn, some changes were made to ensure better control during gameplay segments
- Loading times are pretty quick (On Series X at least. I can't comment on the PC, PS5, PS4 or Xbox One versions)
Cons
- While the graphics look great, there is occasional texture pop in which can be distracting
- $70 is a pretty steep price to pay (for the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions). I personally didn't mind paying full price as I know I will get my money's worth but I can see why $70 would be too high for a lot of people. Wait until it drops to $50, which I feel is a little more reasonable
- Some parts of the story do kind of drag a little longer than necessary
- On my first playthrough there was no option to skip the end credits and the credits did go on for much longer than expected (I'm sure an update could potentially allow an option to skip it)
Overall, if you enjoyed Until Dawn, I highly recommend it The Quarry!

A different type of game

The Quarry is a different game in that it's kind of like a movie. It has great graphics and the choices you make during the game set the trajectory of the plot and the interaction of the characters. There are plenty of possible sub-plot twists and character interactions.

The Quarry on Xbox Series X is simply beautiful. It seems like you're watching a movie the graphics are so good. The voice acting is done very well also. The game is unique in that you're following a horror story where you decide the moves. The decisions are basic, trust them or don't, be judgmental or playful, etc. and there are long stretch's (maybe 3-5 minutes) where you're not doing anything. There are twists and turns in the plot and I was genuinely surprised on multiple occasions as the story unfolds. First run through took me maybe 16-19 hours. You can replay it after the first run through to see how different decisions play out but the first time is the best.
I gave this game 4 stars because the first time played its great. However, I can't see paying $59.99 for it as it's not that long and the replay ability is limited. If you can get this game on sale it's worth it and I recommend the purchase it.

Good game, great price. Story driven, may get kinda board at first as its starts with a rather long screen with no play besides dialog choices.

This game is very entertaining and i really do enjoy the many different scenarios that can play out. But the price point of $70 for series x is steep. The water isnt visually appealing and theres quite a few visual artifacts that just shouldnt be there.

Super fun game! Played this game a few times just to get different endings and achievements. Couch co-op is pretty fun too! This felt like a nice follow up to Until Dawn. I wasn't a big fan of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but this felt like a return to form.

Similar to games like the Dark Anthology series (same developer) but longer. Basically a 3rd person action choose your own adventure game with QTEs. Decisions you make will decide whether your characters make it out alive.

Really good game so far, maybe great. I’ve only just started chapter three. As expected, the game is heavy on story which is what I wanted, so I am very happy the game. I find the characters to be likable.
