Release Date: November 1, 2018
A third-person perspective action game, in which the players assume the role of a man who fights thugs in the dark corners of the city. The protagonist of The Quiet Man eliminates enemies by using his supernatural strength and speed. The game combines scenes recorded by real actors with parts created by using computer graphics.
The Quiet Man is an action game developed by Human Head Studios team and released by Square Enix. The production combines live action scenes. (i.e. those with real actors) and fragments with dynamic gameplay, using computer graphics.
The story told in The Quiet Man takes place overnight. Players take on the role of Dane, a deaf hero following the trail of a masked kidnapper whose victim was a singer. The game was designed in such a way that it can be completed in one evening.
In The Quiet Man the action was shown from the third person perspective (TPP). The game consists of following the plot, as well as wandering through dark streets and duels with the lurking oppressors. The combat system watched over by Tatsuro Koike (director of action scenes in the Yakuza series) is based on leading out brutal attacks (such as kicks, fist punches or even throwing opponents) and combining them into spectacular combinations, as well as the use of instant evades and fast counterattacks.
The Quiet Man has high-quality three-dimensional graphics. The rich facial expressions make an impression, and the gloomy atmosphere in which the story is kept is built by the economical lighting of the location and the dark colors. The sound layer deserves a separate mention - due to the fact that we play as a deaf protagonist, during the play, only muffled sounds reach our ears.

There are mechanics and narrative means, which almost no one likes, and yet creators are very eager to use them. One of them are the killers of good stories, the silent protagonists.

Game Ratings for The Quiet Man Video Game.
Niche Gamer: 2 / 10 by Sophia Narwitz
Overall, this is a weird game that shouldn't have been released. Even at around 15 dollars I feel ripped off. The plot is an incoherent mess and the combat is buggy and broken and worst of all, it's just not fun.
GameSpot: 2 / 10 by Calum Marsh
The Quiet Man is an almost completely silent beat-em-up that combines badly staged live-action drama with a clunky, broken combat system.
GameCrate: 4.3 / 10 by Nate Hohl
Perhaps the most disappointing thing about The Quiet Man is that it presents a world I want to know more about. I like the idea of a deaf vigilante-esque antihero doing his best to find the good in a world of darkness and violence, even if it means having to become a force of darkness and violence himself. However, in the case of The Quiet Man, that strong premise is squandered by lazy development decisions and incredibly odd artistic choices.
