10 Outstanding Current Gen Video Games You Wrongly Overlooked
4. Quantum Break
Quantum Break was the Xbox One exclusive that never took off with fans the way Microsoft intended. Although boasting solid commercial success, word of mouth was never strong enough to motivate Microsoft to green-light a sequel, and that's a real shame.
Coming from the developers of Alan Wake, Quantum Break served as a true tech demo for the system, showing off incredible visuals with steady performance, even during more chaotic moments. Complementing those visuals is the cast, who all put in great work here. That's not to say the gameplay is to be forgotten either, as the manipulation of time elements alongside 3rd-person shooting is satisfyingly smooth and becomes second nature quickly for players.
The accompanying TV show component was QB's greatest ambition, but may have also been why it fell out of favor with some players. Everyone's opinion on the game/TV hybrid component will be different, but each episode does help with world building and establishing characters, so it's still worth experiencing.
It may not get a sequel, but that doesn't mean you should let this title pass you by. Much like Alan Wake, this is an underrated title that deserves a second chance.
