This makes even mundane and easy puzzles pleasing, such as one where Iceman rewinds time so scaffolding will be in a different spot. You might watch years of history rapidly unfold as you move through a room, or escape through a collapsing dock which keeps decollapsing then recollapsing. As objects freeze, skip, or loop in time, they leave ghostly outlines, glowing trails, and showers of prismatic triangles as if the world's polygons were detaching at the vertices. On the scale of threats to reality, time shattering is a pretty big one, and a mighty pretty one. At first, Quantum Break evidently thought my Game Pass copy was pirated because it gave me the eyepatch of shame Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun / Xbox Game Studios Well, it would be if the episodes worked on the Game Pass version, which they don't for me nor many other people I've seen complaining. This sounds unlikely but the game really is in part a live-action miniseries. They also star in live-action "episodes" between chapters, each 20-30 minutes of Canada-grade sci-fi television, which come in multiple forms to reflect pivotal decisions you make. Actual actor Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) is your man, while Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger) and Lance Reddick (Lance chuffing Reddick) play baddies. Off he goes to save the world by solving puzzles and murdering mercenaries. Looking back over their past games, agh, as much as I want spooky investigations, I can't get excited about their next, Alan Wake 2.įirst released in 2016, Quantum Break is a third-person cover shooter starring a lad who tumbles into conspiracy and gains magic powers after his mate's time machine explodes. Their apparent disinterest in gunfights is especially felt in a game so into telling a story that it ends chapters with TV-length live-action episodes starring actual Lance Reddick. I've been playing Quantum Break since it arrived on PC Game Pass, and I'm finding their oft-forgotten time-bending shooter is yet another modern Remedy game full of boring gunfights even as it gives you supernatural powers that could replace guns.
After making their name with Max Payne's joyous gun bonanzas, Remedy Entertainment now seem pretty over guns but can never quite hang up their holsters.
