The Quarry is Supermassive's perfect sequel to Until Dawn. It's a "choose your path" path selection horror title with a great blend of scares and comedy relief. The plot is both familiar and new and the characters/protagonists are quite likable. The game has not one, but two different supernatural elements (no hallucinating gas here!) and it's easily one of the top five most beautiful games I've ever seen. The Quarry is easily more beautiful than 99.9% of the fare out there, in fact, with stunning lighting, great shadows and excellent facial motion scans/captures.

The game is technically demanding since it produces nigh-photorealistic graphics. At 4K, ultra, my Radeon VII could only manage a meager 40 fps, consequently, I reduced the resolution to 2K on the second playthrough, where I netted 55 fps. The game is stable and didn't crash for me at all. I also did not experience any severe glitches or bugs. The actor/actress likenesses are absolutely uncanny and each performer produces fantastic voice over work. The soundtrack is great and the sound effects add to the excellent atmosphere.

Good character exchanges are peppered throughout a fairly good story. Choices are often relevant and impactful. The game is short, lasting about 8 hours, on average. Replayability is limited and there is obviously no real online multiplayer to speak of. I doubt there'll be any DLC for the game. The game's high cost might put off some players when presented with the prospect of a 20 hour game. People need to understand that this game is less of a recurring product and more of a special experience.

Sure, I may only net 18-22 hours out of this game but that's kind of the point with a game like this one. This isn't L4D 2 multiplayer. This isn't a pachinko machine like Apex. This isn't pay to win slots like Vindictus. This is a story, presented in state of the art graphics/sound/cinematography and if you're ok with staring at 7 Days to Die for days and days, that's ok, but they're not the same kind of game.

You can't compare a game with buildings that look like card board boxes to something like this that looks like something out of the future.

If you have the disposable income, this game is a worthy pickup. If not, wait for a sale and pick it up immediately. The game is totally worth it.

Recommended.

8.5/10.
