Quantum Break is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. Players play as Jack Joyce, who has time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters, making everything freeze except Joyce.[2] Players face a variety of enemies, including Monarch security guards; Strikers, who are equipped with specially-designed suits which allow them to manipulate time;[3] and Juggernauts, heavily armored enemies equipped with very strong firearms.[4] Different enemies have different behaviors, and the game requires players to deploy different tactics and strategies in order to defeat them.[5]
