THE QUIET MAN™

A poor imitation of Leon S Kennedy go on a rampage fighting off illegal immigrants. A feel good story of a deaf man just trying to do what is right for the country. Timeless classic.

i think everyone should play this game at least once, stream it to a group of friends. one of the most baffling video games i have ever played, even the second playthrough with audio (dubbed THE QUIET MAN -ANSWERED-) left me and the group i was playing with having a billion more questions than the game had actually answered. PLEASE play this game, it is 3 hours long (probably more like 5 if you do the second playthrough).

Really boring game with a silent gameplay! All the fights are the same repitition without any new challenges. Avoid it... since it is one of the worst non-sense action game I have ever played!

‎I'm a sucker for beat 'em ups. ‎Been in the trenches of the side-scrolling wars since Spartan X, punched my way through Double Dragon, duke it up in Final Fight, survived the neon grime of Bare Knuckle, and even mastered the chaotic "Wait, why am I holding a grandfather clock?" energy of Dynamite Deka. ‎I live for this genre and horror aesthetic the most, among many others. ‎ ‎But this game? This game is a fascinating disaster. It feels less like a polished brawler and more like a half-baked senior thesis project that forgot its homework was due on Monday. ‎ ‎I stepped into this game ready to embrace the silence. The concept is profound: stripping away sound to put the player into a deaf perspective, turning every vibration and visual shift into a lifeline. It’s a bold, empathetic experiment in storytelling that I truly wanted to love. ‎But as I played, that initial spark of wonder faded. What should have been a deeply immersive journey felt more like a missed connection. It’s heartbreaking when a game possesses such a unique soul but lacks the substance to back it up. I didn't just want to see through a different lens; I wanted to feel the weight of that world, and unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. ‎ ‎---The "Innovation" (Or: Why My Speakers Are Suicidal)--- ‎The big "reveal" here is that the game expects you to play it twice. The first run is the "Quiet" version—a confusing silent film with bamboozled experience. Once you beat it, you unlock the "Loud" version, which finally grants you the revolutionary technology known as audio and dialogue. ‎It’s a bold artistic choice. ‎Like a swimming pool with no water. ‎ ‎---The Visuals: "Mime-Core" Aesthetics--- ‎Because you can’t hear a thing, the characters communicate through facial expressions so exaggerated they’d make a silent movie star tell them to "tone it down a notch." ‎Without sound, the pacing drags so hard it stops being a game and starts feeling like a surrealist art installation you’d find in a basement in Berlin. You aren't just fighting; you're witnessing a slow-motion identity crisis. ‎ ‎---The Combat: Fighting in a Vacuum--- ‎In a beat 'em up, the "thwack" is everything. Here? Nothing. Punching an enemy feels like slapping a ghost with a wet marshmallow. Without impact noise, the combat has zero weight; it’s "floaty" to the point of being ethereal. It’s not a brawl; it’s aggressive interpretive dance. ‎ ‎---The Verdict: Into the Void--- ‎If you’re a digital masochist or a completionist who enjoys collecting "Modern Art Accidents," go for it. But for everyone else? There are countless indies and AAA brawlers that cost less and actually include, you know, noises. ‎ ‎---Conclusion--- ‎Wait for a deep sale if you're curious, but honestly, it’s not an experience everyone needs to have. If you’re already doubting it, you’re better off just letting this one pass. I do hope there will be a better version or a remaster for this game. ‎Who knows. ‎ ‎+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ‎ ‎---Inputs for the devs--- ‎Hello, Square Enix and Human Head Studios! ‎I really cared about this game’s unique vision, so it’s tough to see it struggle. ‎To truly honor a deaf protagonist, you have to move beyond silence and turn sound into a visual and tactile language. ‎Instead of empty quiet, use 'visual noise'—like screen shakes and comic-style text—to give combat impact. Replace audio cues with directional radar or haptic vibrations so players can 'feel' the action. Finally, include authentic sign language with captions from the start. These changes would turn a frustrating experience into a stylish masterpiece that everyone can enjoy. ‎ ‎Just sayin'. If only. ‎ ‎...or perhaps my advice has fallen to deaf ears, as the developers no longer care nor even remember about this game. They've probably moved on to other projects or simply disbanded. ‎Too bad. ‎ ‎...still, the only reason why I give this a thumbs up, is that I truly want this unique game to be remaster. Hopefully it will be a much more better version than this one. A game that will be enjoyable for all players, whether they are deaf or hearing. ‎:3

Sessiz adam hayır sağır adam evet Kısa bir süre oynayabildim oyunda neredeyse hiç ses yok.

I can see why this game was on sale for 80% off. Glitchy, cant hear anything unless you beat the game first, story makes no sense, how do the superpowers come in/ work? I understand why this was the last game the studio ever made. GARBAGE!!!!
