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.
The Quiet Man turned out to be a complete failure with a messy concept, bugs and a set of banal live action scenes mixed up with a primitive gameplay. Everything is bad here - from the animation and the combat system to the plot, sound quality and direction.
Everything is so bad in The Quiet Man, from its fumbled central idea and its terrible combat to a plot that ends in a morass of incomprehensible revelations, that it's something of a modern-day curio. The fact it comes from a major studio such as Square Enix, and has clearly had a substantial budget given its models and lighting, makes it all the more...
We give The Quiet Man a point because it exists, and some people worked on it, but it is easily one of the biggest trainwrecks of the video games History. Gameplay is awful, narrative is awful... nothing can be saved, and no one would ever have the patience to play it once and then download the New Game Plus DLC that includes sounds to understand something....
The Quiet Man isn't fun, interesting, or worthwhile in any way. No one should play it
It's bold to dish out a product with so many obvious absentees of the most fundamental components to a video game, but The Quiet Man goes one step further in presenting itself as this artistically-flash, cinematically-deep experience it's all too proud of itself over without ever working for that accolade.
