Is this better than House of Ashes?

[from small town]

I finished House of Ashes just now. How do you compare this with House of Ashes, apart from longer duration?
I didn't enjoy Man of Medan much, but House of Ashes was a good experience.

It's better than HoA just due to sheer production value. Better visuals, great soundtrack, and obviously a longer story. Replay value is a lot higher with The Quarry. More story branches. I'd check out the demo and see if you vibe with the characters in the prologue. Will give you a good indication if you'll be into it.

I'd rank them The Quarry > Until Dawn > House of Ashes > Little Hope > Man of Medan.

Honestly yeah. The story is better than all of the others and that includes Until Dawn

No, in the first 4 chapters the game is excellent, but from then on you can see that 2K has given a deadline for them to deliver the complete game, almost all the choices are not very important and the characters are not as good as those of House of Ashes.

You may have more evidence of this when out of nowhere a gay romance between 2 characters turns into a straight romance with another character (and you have no choice of that) and with the monster skins that are the same as in Until Dawn. And the ending... Just no!!

So far the best games are in this order: Until Dawn > House of Ashes > Man of Medan > The Quarry > Little Hope.

For myself

Until Dawn > Quarry > All 3 Dark Pictures games

I loved Until Dawn and played it several times but later when Man of Medan, Little Hope, and Houses of Ashes came out, I didn't feel like playing them ever again after beating them. Also, not Supermassive but Detroit was pretty legit too. Detroit is up there with Until Dawn.

In my opinion The Quarry feels alot more like Until Dawn than anything else from the DPA. Imo it's the best Supermassive Games Horrorgame on PC until the release Until Dawn on PC.

[based gizmo]

I think it's their best so far.

little hope better than that

Well, the ambience is the only thing in LH was better imo but in LH you got a jumpscare every 2 minutes and that's slowly getting annoying. In combination to that the characters are the most annoying people i've ever saw in a supermassive game and i did not care less in any game if they would die.

This, pretty much. Including the ranking, I'd rank them the same, but I'd slide Hidden Agenda in between House of Ashes and Little Hope. Little Hope's ending absolutely ruined the game for me, I hate it with a fiery passion, but I can't argue that overall, it's a better game than Man of Medan.

The Quarry is, so far, the pinnacle of what Supermassive has been striving for over years, but it was very clearly made during a crunch and the resolutions suffer for it. In that there is no resolution. But OP, yes, this game is overall a great experience and is better than House of Ashes. Highly recommended, especially since you enjoyed the prior title.

I preferred House of ashes cause I liked the monsters. But I'm a monster phile so.....

I don't like the werewolves, they look like slimy people with teeth mostly in this game. House of ashes had some wild twists too, quarry is more predictable and a bit slower to get going.

However Quarry has better visuals, and a smoother more refined experience for sure.

I'm not as impressed with The Quarry as I thought I'd be.

[TERMINATOR ✔]

The Quarry>House of Ashes>Little Hope>Man of Medan.

I don't play Until Dawn because not released PC.

Yeah, 2 characters are annoying and jacob is only annoying in the first chapters but in LH everyone was pssng me off. A old, egoistic boomer, a midlife-studying karen, a LGBTQ+ feminism pixie, a wildlife beachboy and a silent nerd. Yeah, great.
