The Quarry Xbox Playstation PC Gaming

[David76]

Supermassive's latest choose-your-own-horror-adventure releases on June 10th. It's seen as more of a sequel/successor to Until Dawn rather than being a continuation of The Dark Pictures Anthology.



The Quarry's key features:

• Your Story, Their Fate - Will you dare to check what's behind that trap door? Will you investigate the screams echoing from within the forest? Will you save your friends or desperately run for your life? Every choice, big or small, shapes your story and determines who lives to tell the tale.
• A Stunning Cinematic Experience - Cutting-edge facial capture and film lighting techniques, combined with incredible performances from an iconic ensemble cast of Hollywood talent, bring the horrors of Hackett's Quarry to life in a pulse-pounding, cinematic thrill ride.
• Enjoy The Fright with Friends - Place your faith in up to seven friends in online play, where invited players watch along and vote on key decisions, creating a story shaped by the whole group! Or, play together in a party horror couch co-op experience where each player picks a counsellor and controls their actions.
• Customize Your Experience - Adjustable difficulty for all gameplay elements let players of any skill level enjoy the horror. And if you prefer to watch rather than play, Movie Mode lets you enjoy The Quarry as a binge-worthy cinematic thriller. Select how you want the story to unfold, kick back, and munch on some popcorn in between all the screams!

It'll feature SP, couch co-op, movie mode, and online MP. The latter has been delayed though.

There are lots of previews and hand-on reports doing the rounds at the moment, although I've been ignoring them pretty much.

Reviews are out today and are largely positive, although I didn't delve into any single review too deeply. Apparently there's a bit of jank (as probably expected), but generally it just seems to be fun. A few mention it as being an improvement over the Dark Pictures games, and a worthy follow up to Until Dawn.

The Quarry review: thrills, chills, and only a few spills await

The Quarry is a thrilling-ish monster-movie in game form. The charismatic characters and tropey twists get these games back on a fun track.

Looks like a solid game

I'm a little bit into chapter 2 and it has me hook line and sinker. Seems to be a big step up from anything they have done before. So far the voice actors are hitting it out of the park for me. Hope the game is as good full way through as start.

I see this is available on Game Pass now for Xbox. Is it any good?

Chapters 1 and 2 were snooze fests, literally. I nearly fell asleep during chapter 2.

Anyway, chapter 3 really kicks it up a gear and chapter 4 flew by. No one is dead yet but some close calls and definitely seeing some of my choices having an effect. Hoping the rest of the chapters keep up this pace.
