Quantum Break is mostly a third-person shooter, but includes elements of a platform game in less action-oriented segments, and "junction points" that interact with the game's outcome, much like a gamebook, with episodes of an integrated live-action television show, featuring the actual actors of the characters, interacting with the player's choices, displaying the outcome of the choices made.
Upon release, the Xbox one version received positive reviews; critics praised the game's dramatic yet thrilling story and campaign, visuals, action sequences, characterization, and time manipulation features, but criticized the functionality of the time powers. The PC version received mixed reviews for its technical deficiencies.
