The Quiet Man takes players beyond sound and words to deliver an immersive story-driven cinematic action experience, which players can complete in one sitting, seamlessly blending high-production live action, realistic CG and pulse-pounding action gameplay.
With a mishmash of awful storytelling and mechanics, this narrative-infused brawler plays like a game that was cancelled rather than released for purchase.
The worst of pretentious story games and brainless beat-em-ups combined - with an insulting gimmick that's all its own.
This movie/game hybrid has great live-action cutscenes, but the repetitive gameplay becomes tiresome.
The Quiet Man is an almost completely silent beat-em-up that combines badly staged live-action drama with a clunky, broken combat system.
There's nothing else quite like The Quiet Man, and there's a reason for that. The blend of FMV and interactive combat sequences fails on every level with an unfathomable plot that raises far more questions than it answers, and encounters that fail to explain themselves and do little to engage. The Quiet Man is the most baffling release of 2018, to the point where a post-mortem investigation into its sheer existence sounds so much more exciting than this bizarre and convoluted comedy sketch.
