Quantum Break

Quantum Break is a great game, but the PC version is full of technical woes. It’s playable, but not the DirectX 12 showcase it should be.

At one time, things looked different. Quantum Break was to be the game that cemented the Xbox One’s place as the all-in-one entertainment centre of the future, bringing together the worlds of TV and game together in one compelling cross-media experience. As it happened, the companion TV show was cancelled, leaving us with short 22-minute episodes that do little more than fill-out the storyline of the game. They’re supported by a series of junction chapters which punctuate the game’s five acts, your binary choice in each one affecting the flow of the storyline in both TV episodes and the game.

Quantum Break is an artistically distinct shooter, with a compelling and malleable plot and excellent performances from its main players in both their digital and live-action forms. While I wish more thought had gone into maintaining the thrill of discovering its time-twisting powers from start to finish, it ultimately didn’t prevent me from thoroughly enjoying Quantum Break’s 10-hour campaign, two times over.
