Quantum Break

Quantum Break is a third-person shooter with cover and time manipulation, made by the studio known for the Max Payne. series. The action begins in 1999 in the town of Riverport.

People and a dark figure fall into the rift, after which the integrity of time is disrupted. Beth Wilder tells the hero about the consequences of the invention. Time can be slowed down and stopped around you, which changes firefights and allows you to solve puzzles. The scenes between chapters are presented as episodes of a series, where decisions affect what follows. Restarting episodes is available, so some scenes can be replayed. Scenes in the series change the characters and their motives, and the ending depends on this. Time abilities are unlocked gradually, so your arsenal of techniques grows as you go. Records and evidence are hidden in offices and laboratories. Some of the rooms are designed in such a way that you cannot get there without stopping time. The puzzles are based on stopping time, and some of them require path finding. Pausing helps you dodge shots and reload. The characters in the series show the same story from different sides. Records and documents add up to explain what happened. Rebooting the episode changes the details, but not the overall story. The techniques are combined: stopping time plus a blow gives an effective result. Evidence helps to understand the motives of opponents.
