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.
Plot
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.
Mechanics
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.
Technical aspects
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.

Hardcore Gamer: 1 / 5 by Jordan Helm
It's bold to dish out a product with so many obvious absentees of the most fundamental components to a video game, but The Quiet Man goes one step further in presenting itself as this artistically-flash, cinematically-deep experience it's all too proud of itself over without ever working for that accolade.
PlayStation Universe: 2 / 10 by Kevin Tawkchitte
The Quiet Man should have stayed that way.
Screen Rant: 1.5 / 5 by Rob Gordon
The Quiet Man cannot translate its ambition into a cohesive and fulfilling experience, finding trouble both from a gameplay and thematic perspective.
