Far from Remedy's best (but still pretty good!), but maybe the most realistic shot we have at seeing another title from them on GoG with Epic and Rockstar being the way they are. Really interesting formal experiment that pushes their hybrid storytelling to its most obvious conclusion-- or at least what seemed like it until Control and Alan Wake 2 messed up those conceptions irreparably. Thanks to the sins of Microsoft also experimenting with questionable ideas at the time, the story of this game isn't actually properly experienced by many people since they put the live action sections on an unreliable streaming service that don't work properly on Windows and not at all on other OS'es. The only way to experience these seamlessly and offline is to either have the game on Xbox and triple the install size to include them, or break copyright law on PC. This is ridiculous. We might not have a time machine but we have software engineers at CDPR, so I hope this mess can be fixed.
I wish there was a legal way for me to play this game without DRM. I think it's bogus that Xbox One requires Internet to activate the console, so I do not own one. And then, the only other option to "buy" this is on Steam. Please release it on Gog. I love Remedy and will immediately pay for a copy I can own.

I liked the way the story unfolds and how it is peppered with live action cut scenes. The power were also fun to play with. Unfortunately I played this at an age where I had a job already so I did not bother with additional playthroughs to see where else the story can take you.
Quantum Break is an important game for a better understanding of the Remedy Universe and some of the things going on in Alan Wake 2. It’s a shame how poorly this game has been treated by Microsoft, the IP owners. It definitely deserves a place on GOG.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
