The game this time is The Quiet Man!
The Quiet Man is an action-adventure video game title for PlayStation 4 and Windows. Developed by Square Enix and Human Head Studios, the game was marketed by Square Enix as being playable in one sitting.
The story is set in New York City featuring a deaf protagonist chasing the Bird Man, who kidnapped a pianist.
The game received negative reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. PC Gamer described the game as a "spectacular disaster" and added "there are lots of bad games, but for a game that was announced at E3 and made by a major publisher and studio to be this catastrophic is something." Destructoid gave it a 4 out of 10, stating that the game doesn't deliver high-production live action, realistic CG and pulse-pounding action gameplay, and has some high points, but "they soon give way to glaring faults."
In a video review, critic Jim Sterling called the game "a miserable and exhausting time", saying that the game's story was impossible to understand with the lack of dialogue, and the gameplay was near non-existent thanks to the large amount of silent cutscenes. He further explained that the planned New Game Plus with audible dialogue would not adequately fix the former problem, as players are still forced to play without dialogue the first time. He also found the combat more difficult than necessary due to a poor camera and distracting cutscenes being overlaid during combat sequences. He later expressed that the game was a shoo-in for his upcoming list of 2018's worst games.
