What is Quantum Break?

Quantum Break is a science fiction third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios exclusively for the Xbox One and Windows 10. The game follows Jack Joyce, who gains time manipulation powers after a failed time travel experiment conducted by his friend Paul Serene. This gives Jack the ability to temporarily freeze time and manipulate objects and enemies caught in the effect.

Jack must use his newfound powers to fight against the Monarch Corporation, the company behind the experiment's funding that is now trying to kill Jack and his allies. As Jack, the player can engage enemies in third-person shooter combat, using a variety of firearms along with Jack's time powers to gain an advantage. The game also features puzzle platforming elements requiring creative use of Jack's powers.

A defining feature of Quantum Break is that it combines its video game elements with episodes of an integrated live-action show. Choices made by the player in the game affect the outcome of the show. This interactivity between mediums was highlighted by developers as a major innovation and attempts to bridge video games and television. Reviews praised this concept but were more mixed regarding other aspects of the game like combat.
