Review of The Quarry

The Quarry (2022 Video Game)
7/10
Good, but hugely let down by limiting options (PC)
23 November 2022
The Quarry is near perfection for this play style and genre, but it is let down by limiting basic (PC) options.

The audio is basic 2Ch (aka stereo) using a 90's ProLogic/pseudo surround approach, rather than being actual 6Ch (aka 5.1) or preferred 8Ch (aka 7.1). This poor quality sound mix decision breaks its film like qualities.

The other let down is Supermassive enforcing typical poor quality games console like graphical limitations on to PC users, such as low quality edge blurring, low quality field depth, no HDR options and not even support for basic FSR/DLSS support.

Lastly, ever Supermassive game enforces us to share a single controller between 5 local players (in the same room), which makes no sense to us.

The answer is easy, gives us options for all the above to either use them or just 'turn them off', PLEASE! We are not dumb game console users and we also do not want to have mod every badly designed game your release, we should not have to forced to use bad quality options and sort out your poor quality audio, The Dark Pictures series is far better than this rubbish, why stop supporting high quality surround audio?

The Quarry is good, but 'could have been' an "outstanding 10/10" 😐
