Lance Reddick ( The Wire, John Wick) delivers a great performance as Martin Hatch, whose motivations are open to interpretation right up until the very end. Jack Joyce, the time-bending lead character played by Shawn Ashmore ( Fringe, X-Men), is one of a few characters played by well-known actors, and for the most part, each member's professional acting chops are put to good use. No one ever said having super powers was going to be easy. Now Playing: Quantum Break - Review Sorry, Jack. Quantum Break isn't the sort of experience that warrants a second playthrough, even though it confidently insists that it is.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Your choices can have an effect on facets of the show and game-characters interact in different ways, and some minor events play out differently-but by and large, this isn't your story to mold. But the disparate parts don't gel well together because your influence over some events creates expectations that fail to pan out in the bigger picture. Both aspects of Quantum Break offer things worth getting excited about: combat is often explosive and chaotic in just the right way, and the show does a decent job of establishing intrigue that fuels your investment in the story. There's no getting around it: blending a "TV show" and a game in one package is a risky move, and unfortunately, one that doesn't pay off here. The rest of the pitch is that-by making narrative decisions between chapters-you can influence the story, which involves time-travel, an evil corporation, and a bit of brotherly love. Between each of its five gameplay-based chapters, you have the opportunity to watch roughly 20-minute-long episodes, which are entirely optional but designed to offer insight into the antagonist's state of mind.
It's one of the game's defining elements. Few games use live-action cutscenes as emphatically as Quantum Break.
