It is absolutely worth that. The gameplay is absolutely terrific. I'm not trying to start any console warring here, but I do think this game got underrated quite a bit for being a Xbox One exclusive. It's a blast.

 

[Digity]

It was on ok game, nothing special to be honest but for $10, go for it.

 

[Fbh]

I found it disappointing but overall it's still fun, has nice visuals and enjoyable combat. It's a solid 7/10 IMO and definitely worth the $10

 

[JoeyWestSide]

10? Yeah. At 15 I'd say maybe used for 10, so yeah.

 

[TaySan]

Yes i found it better than Control

 

[sn0man]

So how does it work. Do you need a windows or Microsoft account to play the steam version?

Just a steam account for the steam version.

 

[lefty1117]

fun game. worth $10 for sure

 

[CitizenX3639]

I just finished the first chapter and its pretty impressive. however lack of FOV, motion blur and and other essential options makes it only OK.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

is there no aim assist?

Totally not true regarding the aiming. This is a game I beat more than once. I'm hyper sensitive to shitty aim controls in console titles, and this one has no such major issue.

What I was going to post almost word for word. No reason why you shouldn't at that price as long as your PC can run it ok.

Motion blur can’t be disabled?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

It sure looks better than Control.

It does, but it has some flaws too, mainly bad shadow quality of self shadows on character's faces and pixelated volumetric lighting even on max settings.

I can't even finish it, it's so boring - Control I mean.

I think the main problem of this game for me personaly is piss poor level navigation + really bad map, very long and boring coridors and just levels in general, not a lot of interesting stuff to do and I don't mean some bog-standard POS open world stuff. Story, while yes intriguing at first, falls apart and not very interesting or unique at the end and I could not care less about any of the characters on emotional level in this game, which I can't say about Quantum Break.

I mean, the game sure has very interesting X-Files x Twin Peaks-like lore, mood, atmosphere and even one interesting (in game, not in FMVs which as always just amazing all around) character (Ahti), really cool combat with all the destruction you can do but beyond that... I think this game could've been much better if they've made it like their other and more traditional narrative focused games like Quantum Break for example. Just this concept of exploring really big and boring coridor / semi-open levels in a huge building is just not interesting to me in any way shape or form and if you'll also condider other flaws.... yeah, this game is definitely and unfortunately not Remedy's best.

 

[Little Chicken]

It's a good game. I preferred the combat in Quantum Break to Control for the most part.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Y'all have convinced me

For 10 bucks I'm in

Tho I have a suspicion it's gonna hit PC game pass soon

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Of course it's worth $10. Go for it.

It's a better game than Control.

But in Control you can throw tables and stuff at security guys LOL

 

[kurisu_1974]

I liked it a lot, less frustrating boss fights than Control, great plot and cool actors. I would recommend.

 

[Stuart360]

It bored me to tears, but then so did Control, but i think Control is decent now after giving it a proper go. Maybe i should do the same with Quantum Break.

 

[GymWolf]

control is a far superior game to me.

quantum protagonist has a wood stick in his anus when he move, the serial is trash, you have very little combat compared to control and literally 50% of the plot is written in documents that you have to find.

but i liked the graphics and set piece more in quantum, also the time power are neat, but i'm a sucker for telekinetic stuff so control take the lead in term of power.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[GC_DALBEN]

Yes, its a very good game if you like reading a lot of stuff and watching a lot of cutscenes, 8/10.

 

[ZywyPL]

I wish they made a patch for XBX bumping the game to 4K60 and RT effects. And a sequel, I need that damn sequel!

 

[MMaRsu]

I like it but its like 150gb isn it ?

 

[Kenpachii]

Tried it didn't like it, also doesn't help the game runs absolutely terrible, i could get barely 60 fps at ultra settings at 1080p on a 1080ti.

one of the most broken game at launch of this gen.
probably the only game i played at 30 fps on pc in the last 5+ years.

 

[CitizenX3639]

Motion blur can’t be disabled?

Actually "-noblur" in properties fixes the issues, thank god. However the FOV is still absolute garbage, but perfect for console trash.

 

[sendit]

I would pay someone 10 dollars to take my copy of Quantum Break.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I think it is. It's a solid 7.5/10 game.

I have the Timeless Collector's Edition of the physical release for PC. It's one of the most fun games that I've ever played; its gameplay is a solid 10/10, and its story is a solid 7.5/10. Where it faulters is the length and linearity of its campaign; I beat it in only 6 hours on the hardest difficultly available on my first playthrough and I found that there was literally only one route for every map and that every map was structured like a corridor (a narrow path closed off on bith sides).

 

[Kagey K]

At that price is just under a dollar an hour for your time. I’d say it’s worth a go.

Not much else you can get lately.

 

[Sacred]

It is fantastic and I personally loved seeing how my choices affected the TV show, one of the most underrated games this gen for sure.

Did you run the dx11 or dx12 version? it's a botched port that only runs fine if you have dx11 on nvidia or dx12 on amd.

Dunno here u see performance of what i got, didn't saw a dx11/dx12 option in the game.

It drops to low 60's all day long and that's on a oecd 1080 ti which is leagues above the GPU's that were out in that time period.

Don't know why but Steam version performs noticeably worse than Windows Store one, I can get 75-85FPS with the latter one, whereas Steam version can't even hit consistent 60 on the exact same settings.

The windows store version is dx12 and the steam is dx11.

 

[Kenpachii]

The windows store version is dx12 and the steam is dx11.

Ah that makes sense then.

 

[Dynomite]

So I bought it and played through the game in two days. I did enjoy it. The live action scenes were interesting, but I was let down by the obscure ending.

$10 well spent. Solid 7/10 game.

 

[Perrott]

The unique concept of the game makes it worth it, pretty much like with The Order (both games are great tho).

Im close to the end and its simple reminder game play will always be sacrificed for better graphics now because of the worthless sheep. The world is amazing in QB, as it was TO, but they are absolutely lifeless and empty. These were released 4 yrs ago and nothing has changed. the mo cap in these titles are amazing, nothing i repeat nothing is going to be different going forward.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Well, now it's only 8.50



For anyone still interested if it's cheap enough

 

[V2Tommy]

Great game.

Until you get to the last boss.

He's not beatable and they still haven't patched it.

 

[T-Cake]

Thanks for the heads up! Got it for a little more than a fiver on Humble Store.

 

[D.Final]

Great game.

True.
The last boss is something else

 

[MCplayer]

I like Remedy's games.

Control is on my radar, but I am waiting for that to come on Xbox Game Pass for PC. If it wasn't rumored I would probably just get that now.

Edit: I bought it and I liked it. 7/10

no, the soundtrack is 10€
