Quantum Break is a proof that a good script is not enough to save a game.

The first impression of whoever comes across the game is: this will probably be spectacular! Unfortunately, over the course of the hours of play, that feeling, instead of increasing, fades. What remains is a disappointment and that bitter taste of lost opportunity.
Quantum Break has all the ingredients to be a successful game: a relatively interesting story, a set of experienced actors whose faces are already familiar to the public, a reasonable soundtrack, great graphics. But what really jumps to the sights is his audacious bet: to produce an intersection between two medias, games and television series. Between each chapter played there is a small episode that continues the plot experienced by the player, the decisions chosen during the gameplay has some influence on the scripts of the chapters but nothing spectacular. The television series is rather mediocre, nothing like the classic science fiction productions. That's where the problem begins in Quantum Break: everything seems too generic, without a soul that is its own and, for a game that really seeks to differentiate itself by presenting something new, to be generic is perhaps the worst of scenarios.
It is impossible that we do not touch the worst of the whole game, the terrible optimization of the port for PCS. Even on a GTX1080 - the second fastest card of the Maxwell generation - the game suffers to maintain 60fps at 1440p and sometimes even at 1080p. This issue cannot be minimized, that performance is terrible compared to other AAA games released around the same time. Those performance issues are so huge that they often affect the user experience and make you on several occasions ask: Is it really worth it? If you like science fiction, especially stories about time travel, and want to experience a game with good graphics, Quantum Break is a good request but nothing wonderful. The Xbox One release game looks like to suffer from the same melancholy ending that seems to be reserved for the Microsoft console.
