    It's not without its issues, but these are the kinds of experiences that really stick in the mind, and I'd rather that that yet another stock-standard action game that neatly fits within structures that we've already seen dozens of times before.

    I really want to enjoy The Quiet Man. But with seriously flawed design decisions, either in terms of screenplay or mechanically as well as dramatically, it becomes tedious too soon. And that is saying something for a game that last only three to four hours.

    Trying something new doesn’t mean you’re necessarily doing something good. Behold The Quiet Man, who dares concern the topic of mutism. But despite its neo-noir atmosphere, The Quiet Man fails to draw attention.

    The Quiet Man is one of the worst games I have ever played, but forcing me to play twice to experience the audio left an even worse impression. While withholding all dialogue until the second playthrough is an interesting concept in theory, it added little to The Quiet Man's already terrible story, making the second run even more of a chore than the first.

    An inexplicable and decidedly wrong project.

    A terrible idea poorly realised, with a mixture of pretentious, gimmicky storytelling and banal combat that is almost awe-inspiring in the full extent of its incompetence.

    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 in the history of video games. 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. It's just too painful.

    A mindless fun shallow beat-em-up with baffling presentation. Great if you have friends to mock the cutscenes.

    Fujinaga says The Quiet Man was made with an "indie" spirit, by which I take him to mean its short running time, lower price point,Fujinaga says The Quiet Man was made with an "indie" spirit, by which I take him to mean its short running time, lower price point, experimental approach and narrative leaning. But you could not find a better example of corporate vanity art blundering, with almost comical hubris and insensitivity, into areas it is woefully unequipped to handle.… Expand

    i'm only giving this a 1 because the story was all right. the fighting however is possibly the worst i've ever seen in a game. the boss fightsi'm only giving this a 1 because the story was all right. the fighting however is possibly the worst i've ever seen in a game. the boss fights are basically broken because of how bad the combat is. i'm on the last chapter and doubt i'll even be able to finish this broken mess. standing right in front of a guy, my punch goes right through him. meanwhile i'm 3 steps away from him and he knocks me out with an invisible punch. . dont waste your time, just watch it on youtube.… Expand
