AN HONEST REVIEW!!! I think this game got a lot more hate than it deserved, sure it has its downs but I want to give an honest opinion. The story line is great, however, the downside is that you have to play the game twice to get the context. Since you play as a character (Dane) that is deaf, the whole first play through is completely silent. If you have the patients and time to spend on this game I do recommend playing through it twice, and you get a nice ending after the credits. My only real complaint is that the game play consist 90% of cut scenes and 10% of fighting. As a Square Enix game I was expecting a lot more to come from it but it is a decent game, not the best, but as I said if you have the time for it, it can be enjoyable. The concept was great, but maybe a bit of context throughout the first play through would have made this game more bearable. To be honest if I hadn't read some comments and knew there was more in the second play through I WOULD NOT have played it aga...

KEY FEATURES
- Experience a “soundless” world
The player not only controls Dane but also experiences the world in the way Dane does. As a deaf protagonist the audio landscape of the world he lives in consists of soundless and muffled audio, leaving it up to the player to make their own interpretation as the search for the masked man unfolds. - Exhilarating combat:
- Experience fast, visceral and adrenaline-fueled combat choreographed by Tatsuro Koike, renowned for directing the action in the Yakuza franchise.
- Simple on the surface, but with brutal combos, the combat system is easy to pick up like old school beat’em-up action games, whilst offering combat variation and thrill.
- Unleash an arsenal of combat moves ranging from punch and kick combos, to grappling and throwing enemies.
- Give stunned opponents a savage beat down or slam them into environment objects to set up brutal attacks.
- Defend yourself with split second dodges that can result in close-shaves and counterattacks. - Blurring the lines between live action and gameplay
In addition to high production live action, THE QUIET MAN™ features state of the art CG sequences, facial animations produced in partnership with 3Lateral, Cubic Motion and Human Head Studios to deliver stunning visual fidelity, strongly-felt emotions such as rage, joy and pain, and enables seamless transition and continuity between live action, engine cut scenes and actual gameplay.

User Reviews
This is a game that I absolutely believe is genuinely terrible through and through, but not an experience I regret having. The quiet man is a game with terrible gameplay, sound design, storytelling, visuals, cutscenes, and it even runs very poorly and is built very poorly. I could only set the resolution up to 720p, I experienced like 3 crashes during my 3 hour playthrough, and I could not use a controller despite the game definitely feeling like it is built for it. Despite the fact that not even 1% of this product resembles a good game, I still found some enjoyment while playing through it. If you can find this game on sale for like $1-2, go into it as blind as possible, and stream it in a discord call with the homies, I think you'll definitely get an unforgettable experience that you will not regret.
