Remedy has always been comfortable embracing pulpy genre fiction, whether it’s the paperback horror of Alan Wake or Max Payne’s hard-boiled noir. It’s an interesting idea in theory, but you quickly realise that your impact on the outcome of the show is negligible, and that the game attached to it is a disappointingly average shooter. Episodes play between acts, and the scenes change-sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly-according to decisions you make and things you interact with. As well as a ten-hour campaign featuring the kind of cinematic combat the Finnish studio is known for, there’s a live-action TV show that runs alongside it. Quantum Break is a story-heavy action game by Max Payne creator Remedy.
