A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to preview The Quarry and share my thoughts on the beginning portion of the game. After having a tonne of fun with it, I rather boldly claimed that The Quarry could be Supermassive Games’ best title since Until Dawn, the studio’s first major release back in 2015.
Then, when I finally managed to finish things off and tie up my loose ends across Hackett’s Quarry, I realised that while Until Dawn still reigns supreme, that doesn’t mean The Quarry can’t serve up scares like they’re marshmallows on a stick.
The Quarry is – by no means whatsoever – a bad game. There are many moments of animated awkwardness and general jank that can hook you out from an otherwise seriously immersive moment, but aside from that, Hackett’s Quarry is seething with some fucked-up fun (for you, but not so much for any of the characters involved). Sometimes the characters definitely talk too much or will gracelessly linger doing nothing for too long, although, The Quarry still remains a strong game with an enthralling horror tale to tell, if you choose wisely.
