Quantum Error has debuted on MC with a 47. Consensus being it’s not fun, poor design, short and not worth $60. Not worthy of a full review thread.

Quantum Error is an intriguing and solid horror game - though never gripping or truly outstanding. At its best when you’re a firefighter using your specialist skills and tools, the title has an original premise and story but is let down by weird over-the-top cinematic stylings as well as odd pacing, as well as characters and dialogue carved out of oak.

Quantum Error's proposal was interesting, but the final product delivers a confusing and meaningless narrative, harsh gameplay, poor level design and generic enemies. Only with a good discount and many fixes to risk venturing into the Nomad complex.

Despite having an interesting story concept, Quantum Error's underwhelming gameplay, terrible cinematics and horrendous voice acting drag down what could have potentially been a great horror experience.

Quantum Error desperately wants to just be a dystopian sci-fi CGI film, without any pesky gameplay to kill its momentum. Alas, there is a clunky, antiquated, and unrefined shooter wedged between the game’s Unreal Engine 5 cinematics. Love and attention was poured into the cutscenes, but the shooter is malnourished and not very much fun. Next time, just make a movie.

Credit where credit’s due: considering this is made by just four brothers, Quantum Error aims high, which is admirable. The execution is simply not there, though. This is a game that simply tries to do too much, and as a result feels messy. If you’ve got a lot of patience and really like the idea of

Man... what a fail

Word! This fell of my radar but damn it's bad! King Kong might have it beat

Game does not look like a 47. It must have terrible gameplay then. Or maybe they couldn't bribe enough magazines or sites.

i tried telling people check their other game called kings of lorn and keep expectations low. they have potential but art department and core gameplay is inconsistent and directionless. i dont know what other way to explain it. i do feel bad for them. but they need someone that ensures qc in their work. its tough for small new studios. but man.... can't expect too much from a tiny team.

Strange it didn't debut on Gamepass!

I applaud their bravado. They got their business priorities right, but at the end of the day, the game has to deliver.

Hope they make a better game next time.

With a proper budget and time they could, but i dont know if any publisher would be willing to invest after this

That might be a quantum error.

Duh. Anyone who saw the very first gameplay know this was pure garbage. Kudos to developers for their marketing strategy in passing bots off.

GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 5 / 10

Credit where credit’s due: considering this is made by just four brothers, Quantum Error aims high, which is admirable. The execution is simply not there, though. This is a game that simply tries to do too much, and as a result feels messy. If you’ve got a lot of patience and really like the idea of being a firefighter caught in a horrifying situation, you might get get something out of Quantum Error. Most, though, will just encounter frustration.

GamingTrend - Henry Viola - 40 / 100

At the end of the day, I ask myself these questions about Quantum Error given the many genres it is trying to tackle. As a shooter game, is it fun? No. As a horror game, is it scary? Nope. As a firefighter simulator, is it cool? Sometimes I guess. Would I recommend this title as a full priced 60 dollar game? Never. TeamKill Media has done a commendable job being only a team of 4 to come up with something this massive and ambitious. However, this is another sad case of biting off more than you could chew. This might be up your alley if you're into janky, B-movie messes.

PSX Brasil - Rui Celso - Portuguese - 55 / 100

Quantum Error's proposal was interesting, but the final product delivers a confusing and nonsensical narrative, harsh gameplay, poor level design, and generic enemies. Only with a good promotion and many fixes for you to risk venturing into the Nomad complex.

WayTooManyGames - Todd Eggleston - 6.5 / 10

Quantum Error still has the chance to become something, if the developers can take a step back and learn and grow. There is love and there is passion, you can feel it, it just outweighs the skill. So, I ask, what are you? Are you a generic asset flip or are you one of the better remasters, an homage if you will, of a never released game from the early 2000s I never had a chance to love?

Big oof.
