A bold experiment in marrying passive and interactive elements to create a narrative game, Quantum Break almost succeeds. It looks utterly stunning, and it's fun to play, but overall the game doesn't quite gel with its TV show-style episodes to elevate its experience into something new.

Hidden Gem on the Xbox One

Great fun for all ages even if it says M for mature. My son and I had a blast with the time powers and excellent shooting and decent collectible hunting which is great for beginners. Even the TV show like cutscenes were fun to watch.

Quantum Break review – TV times

A less than fruitful mix of TV show and video game, where although the individual components are competent they're never quite interesting enough to justify the peculiar set-up.

The combat may lack nuance and variety but it's fast-paced and entertaining; Generally good graphics and solid acting from all concerned

The plot and characters are far too ordinary to need all the 20-minute live action cut scenes; Villain decisions make too little difference and the gameplay is repetitive and overly easy
