A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead perfectly captures the essense of the popular film franchise, but it unfortunately doesn't make for a great game. Many will find the horror action here simply too slow and frustrating, especially when you factor in the protagonist's asthma.

It’s hard to properly judge a game like The Quite Place: The Road Ahead. In a vacuum, as a horror game, it may appear as a slow, tedious experience, and there certainly are a lot of parts where it feels like it just keeps on throwing roadblocks at the player just for the sake of it. Every action is slow, every path convoluted, every interaction takes longer than it would in any other game. But if you’re familiar with the movies, you know that the whole point is not making any noise, and the nail-biting tension of having to open...

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a great first attempt into the videogame sphere, with unique innovations and ideas that are a no-brainer for those intrigued considering the low entry fee.

While The Road Ahead nails its survival mechanics, it ultimately falls short in narrative and gameplay depth. An immersive experience, but one with lasting impact.

When A Quiet Place was released back in 2018, it was actually considered to be a genuine breath of fresh air in the horror movie sphere. For once, it was a genuinely well-written story, with deep characters, and an actually scary threat, which made you tense from the moment the plot started, until its very end. As it’s tradition with anything that’s remotely successful in modern media, sequels were eventually greenlit, as well as games based on the engaging premise. We finally have a horr...

All of these gameplay features, along with things like throwing bottles and bricks to create distractions, are nice gamified ways to stay faithful to the movies' premise. If you're the sort of person who winces when a door creaks in A Quiet Place, or who holds their breath along with on-screen characters when trying to be quiet, this game is definitely for you. Accidentally knocking a paint can or opening a vent too loudly by accident caused real panic in me for the first couple of hours of the game, and the AI of the creatures is generally pretty good...

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead takes some very usable source material and fails to do much with it.

A mind-numbing tour through one of horror’s more recent hit IPs, which doesn’t provide justification for its stay, or the scares to match.

Horror has always been about the atmosphere created by eerie silences and the noises that break those up. Be it from the character, trying to be as quiet as they can to avoid alerting the big bad to where they are, or in some cases, the noises that the big bad makes as you know it's coming towards you. How else would you be able to identify the scariest horror monster ever without the distinctive sound of it on the tarmac? Though it must be said, A Quiet Place, led by the incomparable Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, also knew...

A stealth game with engaging interaction mechanics and cool aliens, weakened by spotty AI and lackluster characters.

The Quiet Place films had a remarkably simple but very effective narrative hook. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a pitch-perfect, authentic recreation of the movies’ tone and tension. What holds it back is the lack of variety in player input stretched over the game’s running time of eight or so hours. It’s definitely not a great game for fidgety, impatient players. For fans of the films and/or stealth-focused adventure horror games, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead effectively checks a lot of boxes.

While A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead makes for a decent adaptation of the breakout horror franchise, it ends up falling short due to a slow, uninspired narrative and frustrating sneaking sections. That said, it's still an engaging, tense romp through the world of A Quiet Place and fans of the movie will get their fill here.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead while intriguing on paper, is too inconsistent when it comes to pacing, difficulty and world building to really make an impact.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead throws several unique variables at you, making you balance progression through built-in limitations and staying alive. The gameplay loop can get repetitive, and enemy routes prove quite predictable. At the same time, the concept of staying alive resonates through both gameplay and narrative, making this very human story a worthwhile purchase through and through.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead takes an interesting concept and fails to reach the mark, fizzling out into mediocrity before even getting started. The goal of remaining quiet is portrayed well with several successful mechanics (opening doors slowly, watching where you step), but becomes boring as the game fails to create engaging challenges while plummeting in quality. Fans of the franchise will get a kick out of this adaptation for the first few hours, but it's hard to imagine many players sticking around until the ending.

What really stands out in A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is how willing it is to experiment and build entire mechanics around its central conceit of managing sound.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a solid effort initially, but pacing issues, iffy creature AI, repetitive gameplay, and other issues hamper it.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead doesn't have enough innovation to prevent it from running out of steam in its final hours, though it does a solid job of replicating the franchise's thesis in video game form.

As noiselessly as a survivor in its world, A Quiet Place has received a video game tie-in, and despite the publisher not doing much to promote it, it's not bad.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a great horror game in a vacuum, but it is held back by trying to double as a quasi-adaptation. The brilliant mechanics and environment can distract you from its shortcomings most of the time, but it periodically reminds you that this could have been so much more. The foundations are well laid out though, and if Stormind can improve the storytelling and optimization, any sequel to this would earn an easy 9/10 rating.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead delivers plenty of spooks throughout its roughly eight-hour adventure, but it does run out of ideas somewhat during the back half of that runtime. When called upon, the cast is well-acted (even if the story is quite threadbare) and the whole thing does enough to cement itself as a worthy entry in the 'A Quiet Place' universe, which is a nice achievement for Stormind Games. Some more late-game variety and additional options for dealing with the enemy could have made this a horror great, but as it stands, The Road Ahead is just a...
