A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead Offers Tense, Immersive Gameplay

The video game adaptation captures the franchise's atmosphere but struggles with pacing and innovation.

  • A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a survival horror game set in the same universe as the films, developed by Stormind Games and published by Saber Interactive.
  • Players control Alex, a pregnant woman navigating a post-apocalyptic world where sound attracts deadly creatures.
  • The game features a unique live mic mechanic that can alert monsters to player noise, enhancing immersion but lacking calibration options.
  • Critics praise the game's atmospheric tension and environmental storytelling, though some find the plot contrived and pacing slow.
  • While the game introduces new mechanics frequently, some reviewers note its linearity and the tedium of its insta-fail stealth gameplay.
