I completed it a couple of days ago and I've spent the weekend blasting through it and collecting Achievements. 

When I first played it, it was a good looking game with respective gameplay, a story that was pretty tough to care about, and some boring live action cutscenes that put me to sleep every time. I loathed the "Canon fodder" faceless, nameless enemies.

For some reason, this second play through is much more engaging.  The firefights are more fun. The story is engaging, and the graphics are somehow more impressive. I find myself pausing and taking screenshots of various facial expressions. The whole thing just seems better, now.

It's not perfect. I hate how enemies all sense when I'm about to attack. There's waaaaaaaay too much reading of open emails. Some of the characters are generic and forgettable. Still at 8/10 for me. What say you?

Haven't played it, but I'd like to. I'm a sucker for time-manipulation stories.

There are some very minor changes if you make different choices but those changes have made me enjoy the game more. For instance, a character dies on my second run but they're replaced with a funnier character. Guess it depends on your choices.

Amazing when you consider it's a new IP. Microsoft can easily fix the next Quantum Break and make this series legendary

Story was excellent and they've established a solid base here for a good ip in the future. Gunplay was great too. A problem is, there isn't enough. Jumping is indeed hit and miss, otherwise platforming was great. If not a little too easy.

Spacing between gameplay to episodes was ok. It did take me out of playing a little though. I can see the sequel being all in game cinematics next time and would welcome it. Found it worth playing through again, making different choices and getting a different story and ending while mopping up the rest of the achievements.

A good 8.5 give me Alan Wake 2 now, then Quantum Break 2 afterwards. Thanks Remedy, no pressure.

I haven't played it, but I've honestly heard decent things about it...so I hope it does well (on XB1), though, I do hope due to the shit optimization it bombs so bad (on PC) that all sold units via Windows store are refunded (if they can be refunded).

I could not tell, it seems they broke the PC version.... Now, i would have loved something like it, except the tv shows :-/ I just can't watch that kind of stuff... 

Otherwise on console it must be one of the worst case of bait and switch in therms of graphics, i mean, half of the screenshots look like a game from the 360, the other half look good (the special fx are something else).

Way too short, the gameplay was pretty average, and it's far too easy. 11 1/2 hours to get 1000 GS. I felt like they could of done a lot more with it.

I thought the live action was done pretty well, considering it was made for a video game. I don't think it's worth spending $60 on, especially if you aren't into getting achievements.

I kinda felt that way at first. There was one part where the plant life was slowly slowly in front of my as I walked. Plus the game seemed way too "light".  I don't know what I was looking for. Second play through, I realized so many details. Clothing behaved really well, some guy died in an explosion and individual books fell from a bookcase, I hid behind a car for cover and bullet holes went through the window without it shattering. There were tons of incidents like this. It's impressive (to me) but not for the reasons I'm usually impressed (ie: water effects, realistic plants, etc. It definitely holds up under scrutiny.

It has some of the best facial animations, in or out of cutscenes, that I've ever seen. Not sure about the bait and switch. I actually only cared about the game because a friend kept going on about it on Xbox Live. I had never even seen a trailer.
