2K Games The Quarry

Exceptional

Kam schnell und rechtzeitig an.

The Quarry takes its time to build up and let you navigate and submerse yourself into the stunning surroundings and build up characters. The acting is great with some standouts that really invest you into the game. There is an uneasy tension throughout the first few chapters which is just enough to keep you on edge, and when the inciting incident occurs I couldn’t put my controller down. There are so many games that focus the emphasis on ‘your actions will have consequences’ but rarely feel like they do; or at least to the point where you care. With The Quarry however, you know what impacts your choices have. If you like Until Dawn, The Quarry for me has a slight over this, which I wasn’t expecting. You really feel like you are watching a horror movie with The Quarry. It’s well written, has some stand out performances and all the gore and jumps a game like this should have. The score and songs used are excellent and compared to Until Dawn, The Quarry has the edge on its story premise. Whilst not having a shock twist (for me anyway) this didn’t bother me. The one aspect where Until Dawn still succeeds in is with the endings. In particular the very last ending and the use of linking the credits with the story. It’s difficult to describe without giving away spoilers, but the ending(s) compared to Until Dawn fall a little short. However, in terms of playability; I think I’ve probably completed The Quarry more times already than Until Dawn, so I definitely got my money’s worth.

The game needed a little bit more polishing, especially with how collectibles reset in each run and how some animations seem to be missing/are not clear. It’s very hard to platinum the game because you can’t skip cutscenes or speed them up so you have to play a minimum of 4 times to complete the game. I know this is due to covid during the production and many delete scenes due to the rushed release time frame, so I don’t blame the game too much for it.

Todo correcto

It looks good not scratched but the case is broken
