A very interesting mix between action/adventure game and TV show. There are four episodes in the game, and each of them divided into a few chapters. The last chapters are live-action parts, and their contents might be slightly changed by your previous actions. I'd say it's not the best acting I've seen for the most of the actors (some of them might be familiar to you), so the show part itself is average, but the idea of including it deserves praise.

The main, interactive part of the game is great! Graphics is very nice, and the visual/sound effects are superb! There is a variety of interesting and useful superpowers you can use, and there are many approaches to defeat your enemies by manipulating time and environment - it's almost like "playing god". The only negative things I can think of are the running speed (it's pretty slow) and your powers' controls mechanics - they are not perfectly responsive, aiming "time bubbles" is sometimes problematic, and there are other minor inconvenience issues. At the same time, the game isn't hard, so those issues are not critical to the gameplay. The plot was exciting, there is a proper amount of action and calm sequences, cutscenes and time-involving puzzles (usually trivial, though). I'd say Quantum Break is a next step of quality in gamemaking for Remedy Entertainment, the creators of Alan Wake.
