Anyway, I've finished Quantum Break.

The game is shorter than I thought, on my first playthrough and with little previous knowledge (only the trailers and that E3 gameplay on a bridge), I managed to finish it with a 98% completition rate while watching all the TV episodes (maybe about 2 hours in total?) in 14.5 hours. I can honestly say that I was expecting a bit more and that it felt short, althought that last part may also be because I was enjoying the game and didn't want it to end.

So what can I say about it?

+It has a very good story that's well told and has a good ending that leaves enough loose ends to not be infuriating while also giving room for a sequel.

+Acting and cinematics are top notch, and the TV shows are well made.

+The game is very linear. I don't have a problem with it, but it can be a let down for some.

+The time distortion effect is very col at first but, imho, I think that Remedy abuse its use and ends up being annoying and a bit irritating.

+Gunfight is okay and while carrying only 3 weapons isn't a big deal, the fact that you can't freely choose which 3 you carry is frustating.

+Lastly, I hate Remedy for two things:

1. For making me care, and then kill, a certain character :P. Actually, add also another character.
2. If a better received game like Alan Wake didn't get a sequel, the chances of getting a sequel for QB are basically nil. Therefore, I hate the loose ends they left.

Despite my complains, I think it's a very good, but not excellent, game. I'll play it again soon to see what happens when you choose the other options and to try to get all the collectibles.
