If you haven’t played Quantum Break, you should. With all the buzz and the mud being thrown at it, Quantum Break is an experience worth having. Here are the top reasons why you want to play Quantum Break.
Max Payne Developers Made It
Sure Microsoft is the publishers of it but Remedy Entertainment are the developers behind Quantum Break. They are also the devs that gave us incredible Max Payne games and the Alan Wake game. One thing that Remedy does really well is interesting stories, time manipulation and the execution of the whole thing. Quantum Break’s no different.
Tied-in TV Series
To tie in with the game, there is an interesting Quantum Break TV series along with it. Here you get to see aspects of the game which the game does not handle, like the villains of the game and the dramatic back story. Yes, the TV show is not officially in India unless Netflix starts to show, us Indians always have ways to ahem “acquire” it.
Star Cast
Quantum Break has some of the most awesome Hollywood actors in it, like Aidan Gillen (Little finger from Game of Thrones) and Lance Reddick (Agent Broyles from Fringe). If these guys are in it, oh you know the show/game is going be good. I’m totally sold.
Choices
It’s always interesting when players can make their own story as they game along and Quantum Break allows that. Across the four acts, you’ll come across points where you have to make decisions, choices or called junctions. Here you decide how the story progresses ahead, which characters live or die, whom you favour and want to work with; all these open new plot lines. The choices have meaning so choose carefully.
Cross-play
Yes, we are talking about cross-play not cross dressing. Microsoft has implemented some really seamless features such as saves carry forward from one platform to the next. So if you save on Xbox One, your (free) copy of Quantum Break on Windows 10 PC will automatically be synced. Sweet!
Graphics and Audio
Quantum Break is no doubt an awesome looking and sounding game. It is has a very “film” quality to it which is meant to give a seamless look between the game and the TV series. The game is based on Remedy’s in-house North light engine with facial capture and life-like quality. The audio is superb as it really helps one to immerse oneself in the game better, such as every special move affects and alters the sound playing be it voices, background noises, etc convincingly. This is time manipulation done right. The only bummer is that the PC version requires a beefy machine for all its glory.
Updates and Fixes
Every game has its issues, and Quantum Break is no different. More often than not, polishing and optimising a game is an expensive and tedious process and Remedy’s been on it. The new patches are a lot more PC related, so expect better framerates, resolutions, keyboard inputs, a Quit button in the menu (thankfully), pathing, collision, audio issues and much more.
