To be honest, Beth might be the best character here. I can't go into details on where her story is by the time of the fifth act, but let's just say it's a lot more intriguing and ripe for exploration than Dude With Guns Kills Other Dudes With Guns To Stop Big Bad Dude Without Guns From Oh I Don't Know Destroying The World I Guess. (Unless he's actually saving it, but again, that's a piece for another time, when spoilers aren't so, um, spoiler-y.)Okay, fair enough: I'm criticising the game for what's not in it, which is a bugbear of mine somewhat, too. But there's ample (time and) space in Quantum Break's erratic story for more than a single, straight-line take on what the hell is going on. Its combat is truly top notch, and I cannot knock that at all. Remedy, take a bow: you've delivered what will probably prove to be the most dazzlingly kinetic third-person shooter of 2016, and with the likes of Uncharted 4 and new Gears of War to come, that's quite the declaration. Jack Joyce might be an almost black hole-like personality vacuum, but unleashing the man's array of awesome powers is never not an absolute joy. I just wish I could have played what I saw in the shown too, what with its car chases and desperate escapes from danger and turncoat sabotage and I probably shouldn't write any more because of that S-word, again.New, on Broadly: How Masculinity Is Killing Men
