Gameplay. Quantum Break is an action-adventure third-person shooter video game. Players play as Jack Joyce, a person with time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters, making everything freeze except Joyce.[1] Players can use a variety of firearms, as well as their time-manipulating powers to defeat enemies in the game. Joyce can stop time temporarily, allowing him to escape from attacks or freeze enemies, unleash a "Time Blast", which is an offensive projectile,[2] and reverse the direction of bullets.[3] He can also interact with the environments, creating environmental effects that would harm hostile characters.[4] He can also utilize his "Time Rush" ability, which allows him to spawn right next to an enemy to perform an immediate melee takedown.[5] Alternatively, he can speed up the time as well and swap between covers to diversify attention from unaware enemies.[6] As for defensive abilities, Joyce can protect himself from attacks by deploying a "Time Shield", which can deflect bullets, performing "Time Dodge", which allows him to dash quickly to evade from attacks[7][8] or simply hiding behind cover.[9].
