Yep it is. I even know of some people who preferred it to the main game.
Yeah sorry, english is not my native language.

So far this is about what I expected. Nothing about the story and setting grabbed me in previews I saw. The actual gunplay looked decent but seemed spiced up by the powers.
It's disappointing to hear that the TV part seems to be a letdown. I can't stand watching things that feel like a college film project but I also can't willingly skip part of the story.

the 7-10 hr. game length is w/o the live-action part, right?
Mine for Gamereactor Spain:

9/10, just unique, stylish and rad experience, despite flaws. Huge fan of the first Max Payne myself

Yeah, too many negatives that bug me about this game to consider a buy. Maybe I'll rent it at some point =/

I expected a 75 MC on this one, and wasn't overly hyped about it, although in the back of my mind there was always a chance it could be a 'must-buy'.
I was more on the fence because I don't rate Remedy like most do, now I can safely wait for this to halve in price, not because of the MC but because a 7-10 hour game with little replay value is not worth £35 to me.

That was a proof... is someone forcing you to click ?

It gameplay shines in the awesome MP... yeap people praise it.
Whelp, this confirms it, I'm completely out of sync with what is "popular" or critically acclaimed. I loved the hell out of Quantum Break and feel it's the best game yet from Remedy.
Yeah, it's short...but so is every other game Remedy has made. It's still much longer than Max Payne 2 (which I finished in one sitting).

Half Life 2 is always a good choice.
It only took my around 7,5 on medium after i gave up on reading every email fast (in a game like this I don't want to stand still and read lots of text every five minutes)

GameCloud 8/10 (my review)
http://gamecloud.net.au/review/quantum-break
"Quantum Break is a game I think a lot of people are going to enjoy as it’s highly innovative as well as visually unique. It also includes great performances from familiar faces, a wealth of interesting ideas and memorable gameplay that is as stylish as it is approachable. Basically, it’s everything needed to satisfy a broad demographic while still engaging more scrutinous players with a compelling science fiction narrative that’s actually based on plausible scientific theory. I have great respect for any developer that tries to do something different, even if it doesn’t always work. And yes, there are some things in Quantum Break that don’t always execute that well, but it’s hardly a deal breaker. Ultimately, it’s a solid game with good replay value, a lot of memorable moments, and is still certainly a must-play for Xbox One/PC owners."

Damn it! I'm sold on the game, but I really need to know if it does perform well on PC.

...what lol. There are others that liked it. This isn't a mindsynch
My taste often mirrors yours so I'm still on the hype train, and if you're right about it being longer than MP2 then I'll have no complaints about length.
Is it as replayable as the MP games? I just love the way Remedy handles action + atmosphere in their games.

Surprised to see so many positive reviews ...
most of the sites here in Czech gave it quite low scores (2 biggest sites gave it lowest scores):

This is good to hear.
My guess is that people itching for a linear third person shooter are going to enjoy the game. I just wish Remedy wouldn't have invested so much effort on the TV portion.

It's a perfect length for the type of game they craft and it's really impressive how they brought this world together via the show, live actors, and time powers. I still prefer Alan Wake as my favorite Remedy game but this one was freaking rad. The visual stuff going on blows my mind.

What? The majority of reviewers liked the game...

Yeah, backs up what I was afraid on.
Might play it one day, when it's a bit cheaper and if the PC version is well optimised.

It feels like an evolution of Max Payne combat-wise, but failed to create an atmosphere like Alan Wake and Max Payne did. For me, it's not their best game simply because of that.
That said, it plays really damn well and is a lot of fun. It's pretty short byt encourages at least two playthroughs to see the effects of all the choices.
But, people are going to focus on the 2's and ignore the 7 and 8's, that's how it goes.
Can't wait for this. I loved the hell out of every Remedy game and i'm sure this will be the same.
Really excited after the ACG review saying that it is quite similar in structure to Alan Wake, too.
really? i mean, the reviews saying good things don't matter, right?
jesus at some people in this thread

Love short single player games.
My backlog grows by the month so a short sharp games is exactly what I want. Playing through Alien Isolation and I'm enjoying the game length there too.
One stitting? My man.
Yeah interesting point. Even some of the best movies you often find 20% of critics didn't enjoy it - with such a big portion of Quantum Break being live action, I'm not surprised the reviews are so divisive.
