I really wanted to enjoy this game. I really tried. The writing is awful, and the pacing doesn't make sense. It seems like none of characters actually care there are monsters; they just want to deal with their personal lives. I don't know if I made bad choices or what but there literally was a scene where someone's hand gets cut off in the middle of the woods and all a sudden they're back safely at the lodge. This …

I thought I was making the smart choices. The Quarry plays like a full horror movie where every small decision quietly stacks up behind the scenes. At first it feels simple. Check a door, trust someone, stay quiet, run. Then hours later the game reminds you that one tiny moment earlier might decide who survives the night. Some scenes genuinely had me sitting there thinking longer than I expected before clicking …

A spiritual successor to Until Dawn that definitely doesnt disappoint. If you loved Until Dawn, you’ll feel right at home with The Quarry. It shares the exact same DNA ,a group of teenagers in an isolated location, mysteries lurking in the woods, and the fate of every character resting in your hands. The graphics have leveled up significantly, the facial animations look incredibly life like, and the summer camp …

This game regularly goes on sale for 85% off, and I recommend you buy it for that instead of full price. This game is for people who: • Liked Until Dawn and are wanting more. • Like "Choices Matter" or "Butterfly Effect" type games • Want the ability to play something like that with up to 8 friends However, this game isn't quite as good as Until Dawn. • The writing isn't quite as good and still left some of us a …

The Quarry feels like playing through a classic horror movie where every decision actually matters. What starts as a fun summer camp night slowly turns into a tense and emotional survival story filled with creepy moments, panic, and unexpected twists. The characters feel surprisingly real, and I genuinely got attached to some of them while trying to keep everyone alive. The atmosphere is incredible too — dark …

Critics, per Wikipedia
The Quarry received "generally favorable" reviews from critics for the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions, while the PS5 version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Destructoid stated that The Quarry successfully replicated what made its predecessors unique and praised its ability to "fluctuate between tension, drama, and levity", while writing, "These games are at their best when they leverage classic horror while also infusing some modern touches, meta moments, and well-timed laughs..." Game Informer lamented the limited player agency but praised the quality of the "enthralling" choices and engaging narrative. GameRevolution thought highly…

neutral · AI labelView post →I finished The Quarry! I had played most of The Dark Pictures Anthology games and wasn't a big fan at all, but this finally feels like a return to what Until Dawn was. It's a teen supernatural slasher game with a great cast and a solid story! I also managed to keep everyone alive 🫡🫡 Super fun!
positive · AI labelView post →The graphics are pretty good, but the writing, which is the most important part, is horrible. All the characters are incredibly stupid and annoying, the dialogues are weak. I do not know why, when it comes to this types of games made in the horror genre, suddenly the writing goes out the window. Compare it to Detroit Become Human, or even Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us or other interactive film type games, and it's not even close. Wasted potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was okay, but I really don't understand the good reviews. It is fun, but absolutely not worth 60 dollerinjos. There are plotholes everywhere and at times I was so unbelievable frustrated because a character who seemed sane before was acting like a complete douche or a complete idiot out of nowhere. This made me not care about almost any of them, making it way easier to let them die. (I liked Dylan and that's about it.) I feel like there was a lot of potential there, but the writing was…

neutral · AI labelView post →Really not as bad as some people made it out to be. If you go into this expecting a serious horror game with S-tier writing, that’s going to be your first mistake, because this game is goofy and it does not shy away from the fact that it’s goofy. Personally, I enjoyed it. It’s campy, both figuratively and literally, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It feels like watching one of those cheesy ’80s slasher movies, except you get to decide the fate of the characters. The story is decent…

neutral · AI labelView post →The inability to chapter select (after completing the game) without losing all your progress is genuinely the downfall of this game. Why should i replay the whole game or risk losing my completed playthrough to replay a single chapter because i missed evidence. Tragic. They should have also included a system that saves the clues, tarots and evidence you have already found separately so you dont have to go through re-finding all of them again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let’s start with the good stuff, because The Quarry does have some solid points. The visuals are honestly great - the characters look just like their real actors, and the motion capture is top-notch. (except Emma, whose expressions look like they’ve been turned up to 200% for some reason). Technically, the game runs fine too - it only crashed once during my entire playthrough, which is impressive these days. There are also a few genuinely cool moments, like the scrapyard sequence or the chase…

neutral · AI labelView post →The Quarry was a great horror story game, and it was even better than I imagined before playing. Movie style gameplay: The game is kind of like a movie, but you also have the ability to control characters, search for evidence, clues, and tarot cards and just explore the areas you're in. However, active control is only about 20% of the game. Audio: The audio was amazing, especially the soundtrack, it was totally my jam. The voice acting was also on top. Honestly, the audio in this game was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Quarry truly feels like the spiritual successor to Until Dawn. It takes players back to a remote wilderness lodge, where a group of unsuspecting young adults find themselves relentlessly hunted by mysterious and deadly forces. I'll start with the positives. First and foremost, this game is gorgeous. From the sweeping scenery to the incredible detail of the character models, it's clear that a tremendous amount of effort went into its presentation. Many scenes also serve as subtle…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of the gore and brutal death scenes seem to be patched out compared to when I played on xbox years ago. Really disappointing and makes this way less of a horror game. I honestly would not have bought this on steam if I knew they ruined it on purpose.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Quarry is another interactive horror adventure from Supermassive Games, carrying on the same cinematic, choice driven storytelling style that fans know from Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology. Visually, it’s a gorgeous game. It ran smoothly for me overall, aside from a few random pixel glitches here and there. The lighting, facial animations, and atmosphere look fantastic on a big screen. The opening hours drag on longer than they should, with pacing that feels uneven. When things…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got my plate full with Indy and STALKER 2, but it just hit me that The Quarry is leaving Game Pass in 4 days. Not the type of game I usually buy, and since I heard lots of folks saying good things about it... dare I actually include *three* games in my rotation? I don't know if I'm brave enough.
neutral · AI labelView post →Some of the worst writing and direction I've ever seen in a video game. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ characters, terrible plot development, and rough transitions between shots that make it feel like entire moments are missing. The quality of the character models and scenery is overshadowed by the characters' constant unnatural facial expressions and twitching. Worst of all, there is no way to skip any cutscene. So, no matter how many cliche scenarios, poorly written and awfully timed quips, or tedious and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The campgrounds, monsters and overarching story interest me... But unfortunately - the characters feel poorly written, and the pacing is horrendously slow. The story, "tries" to loosely string you along: But the narrative has spent SEVERAL HOURS focusing meticulously (borderline obsessively???) on literal high school dating drama. I am sorry but I really just am not looking for that in a horror game, especially when the characters fall flat. I purchased it on sale as an avid horror fan and have…

The graphics are beautiful, and I do enjoy the gameplay… BUT, I just can’t stand the fact that you can’t start a chapter over, or backtrack in anyway. I’m a completionist, and I want to find all the tarot cards, but if I miss one (and it’s VERY easy to miss them), I have to start the entire game over again, and I can’t skip any dialogue or anything. I was so invested, but I had to stop playing because I restarted the game I don’t know how many…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Quarry kept me fully engaged across multiple playthroughs, and even after dozens of hours I never felt discouraged from starting another run. The game’s strongest elements—its character models, expressive performances, and high-end cinematics—held up consistently, with small visual details changing chapter by chapter depending on previous choices. The branching structure often funnels back to the same points, but the journey differs enough to maintain tension and variety. Atmosphere,…

The women are of course competent, stunning and brave. They are also often shown to be much more knowledgeable about different topics than the men they are speaking to. This constant “Hey, did you catch how these women are so much more competent and smarter than the men? How about now?” gets stale really quickly. The overall story is very entertaining and engaging.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mixed feelings about this game. One HUGE downside is character behavior. You'd think in a situation like theirs they'd be scared and serious - but no. They see weird things around the camp, monsters lurking nearby, friends getting attacked, and one even losing his hand; yet they act terrified for a second and then keep behaving like total idiots, ignoring obvious signs of danger and cracking unfunny, millenial style dismissive jokes. Overall, their actions and behavior are questionable most of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where to even start with this game.. Supermassive has been chasing the success of until dawn with the exact same formula over and over and it never quite hits. I thought this would be different. it has the best reviews out of all of these games, including the dark picture anthology so I hoped it had better writing... It did not. In fact, this may have been the worst written game by them in this genre yet. The characters are insufferable, punch line driven morons who never take anything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a shared screen review. Shared screen works in this game as follows: You and your friend/lover/enemy/whoever you want to play with, have to chose which characters you'd like to play. You only need one pad, because you won't play in the same time - game shows you which character is going to be played next and you just give each other the controller. One could argue it may get boring for the other player, however The Quarry feels more like an interactive movie than a game, which makes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A classic slasher vibe with a side of campy cringe The Quarry is a solid choice if you want that 80s summer camp horror feel. It is the kind of game where you are basically the director of a slasher movie and you decide who actually makes it to the morning.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely adore atmospheric stories where you don’t just watch the plot unfold, but truly live through it alongside the characters and The Quarry became exactly that kind of experience for me. The graphics are simply beautiful. The game looks like a real TV series or movie: expressive facial animations, detailed environments, and the dark summer camp at night — all of it creates a thick, unsettling atmosphere. At times, I caught myself thinking I was watching a high-quality horror show on…

I couldn't help but wonder why would I even play this game when most of the option in the game just doesn't change the direction at all. If the developer doesn't want the player to change the general direction of the story, they can just made it not an option, but instead they tell you: hey, you have an option here that you can choose but no matter what you choose, it will get you to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A weird and wonderful playable (sort of) movie! I'm not quite sure if I'd call this a 'game' in the sense that it's 80 - 90% cutscenes with a little bit of interaction in between. I have to say though, the story had me intrigued from the start, and aside from the old school RE1/RE2 camera angles, I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of the game. Character models look fantastic. There's the occasional moment where they make slightly weird faces. I suppose we all do that from time to time.…

The only thing is, takes FOREVER to 100% since chapter select only works if you have a completed save, and you can't skip cutscenes after playing through the game atleast once. If you want to get all the achievements, I recommend making backup copies of your saves and duplicating them so you can use chapter select to your advantage. Other then that, love the game, and will play it with my friends now that I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My wife is really into weird horror films, so I got her to sit with me and play Until Dawn. She likes it because she gets to participate without actually having to play. She enjoyed it so much that we went on to lksy every Dark Pictures Anthology game, the Quarry, and we even pre-ordered Directive 8020. So no doubt she's going to want to get this.
neutral · AI labelView post →This game nails the feel of a classic 1980's horror movie. The gameplay and feel are virtually identical to the Dark Pictures anthology which, in turn, are the successors to Until Dawn. The game is light on combat as it focuses more on story but you still have to stay frosty during the horror sequences. It is just a fun time.
