Now you blaspheme all the reviewers, bloggers, Youtubers. Because The Quiet Man is a game published, which is considered a disaster, as the Flop of the year is just, at least. “Painful to play”, writes someone on the Steam platform. The British video blogger Jim Sterling says: “This is an action game, I believe, peppered with movie scene I think,” and laughs a lot. One of the most important magazines in the world, PC Gamer called it a “spectacular Disaster”.
everything could be so beautiful. Because The Quiet Man is one of the most interesting games of the year. In the video game trade show E3, it was one in the summer of 2018 in Los Angeles to the big eye-catchers. The game wants to connect Game and movie, interaction and cinema aesthetics, so it promised to be, at least in the presentation.
