With that in mind, it certainly lives up to our title - if you want a gorgeous and demanding game for your PC, give this bad boy a whirl. With abysmal frame rates on strong graphics cards, constant driver crashes and a host of other issues, Quantum Break on PC has never been the experience it was meant to be. Few PC ports can hold a candlestick to how poorly executed this one was, at least for the first few months after its launch.

And, of course, let's not forget about the main draw of GTA V on PC: the mods.
