FBC: Firebreak

FBC: Firebreak has fantastic bones of a horde shooter set in the Control universe, but suffers from a lack of content. The gameplay is solid: The classes are fairly unique and interesting, the gunplay is good, the elemental interactions between various ammo types and weapons are interesting and fun to play with. The visuals are solid and match-up well with Control. The quirky humor works well with the setting and it doesn't take itself too seriously, which is for its own benefit. As other reviews mention, the disappointment comes directly from the sore lack of content. There's a lot to unlock and really great bones, but there just aren't enough unique missions or enough twists to make all of that content worth exploring for the average player. The initial pricing may have had a negative impact in the games development, although the recent price reduction and friend pass options make Firebreak much easier to recommend. It's just a shame that it wasn't done earlier to get more of a foothold in a competitive genre to continue developing missions. With all of that said, I would lightly recommend FBC: Firebreak to those invested in the Control universe or looking for a quirky horde shooter with friends. The friend's pass stretches the price into acceptable territory if a team can be assembled between friends.

A parody of CONTROL. I will give a positive review just because I enjoyed Control and Alan Wake, but this game definitely failed to deliver. I was very excited to play this game because I love coop shooters but unfortunately this game was kinda terrible. The universe of Control and Alan Wake is generally dark and it’s filled with a lot of meaning/has a deep story, this game feels too cartoonish and the supposed weapons feels like toys while the character skins are ridiculous. I can’t believe this happens in the FBC HQ right after Control, this feels like a game for 8 year olds. A lot of wasted potential, and it’s kinda sad, they could’ve simply give players actual normal guns, generic Ranger skins and make the game a bit more tactical (like SCP 5K for example) and I guarantee this game would’ve been a real success. Really, really wasted potential… I don’t know what the developers were thinking, but this game feels like playing Team Fortress 2 on a FBC Base community map. Big fail.

The game is genuinely fun, wish it was popular enough as it deserves extra content like new maps, guns, crisis kits and enemies but the game is what it is I suppose based on Remedy's decision / sales. If you like the Control universe and like the Remedy devs, then support the game. It's pretty fun.

Yes only 2h of gameplay and with my mates we felt like we've seen everything the game had to offer This is a Horde shooter without any specialist or disabler. Higher difficulties are just enemies become more numerous and bullet sponges. There is a clear lack of feedback, what do i mean. If you get hit by an ennemy , there is no indication (audio visual etc). Effect on your characters are hard to see and confusing. For exemple my mate electrocute everything me as well and i got an animation and voicelines for it, but no damages. Got burned by an ennemy and nothing but getting killed by it. Some effect make no sense, the papers get cleaned by the purifications showers but not the poison. Only 4/6 levels that are really similar (take this thing and put it on the objective) with 3 room each. We had fun for the first two games then already got tired on the two nexts. I thought Back 4 Blood was short , but this is even shorter. There is only 4 Ennemy types, bosses are just bullet sponges without anything else. Story, well there isn't one, so I dont really know why we are in the "house" or who we are and didn't really gave a ♥♥♥♥ since nothing is explained. They only did the replayability, but no hook I dont recommend it, With my mate we did payed it at 12 bucks and used the friend pass (that's the only good point of the game), and that was the "perfect" price for what we got as an exepriences, I'm glad I waited when it got out. The concepts and ideas are really cool , but the execution is disastrous. It is hard to not be really judging when Darktide, even with all it's bugs and lackluster skills was in a way better place and still had a fun loop but Same prices at launch days.

I may be biased having never played any mainline entries, so take my review with a grain of salt. The game has some neat things it does for the first hour or so, introducing you to your role in things and making a few good jokes here and there. Unfortunately, the game just gets very repetitive after that hour or maybe even two. Sure you can up the difficulty to make things more interesting, but still doesn't make it feel better. Just makes a mission take longer than before. Fortunately I never really had any performance problems like others have stated. It ran great for me!

[h1]凄まじい不愉快さ[/h1] 1人で、かつノーマルでやっている前提ですが、敵のラッシュが多すぎてイージーじゃないとやっていられない。 ほとんどの任務において、延々と壊れた設備の修復・設備を壊す敵の大群を倒す・体力を回復するシャワー・銃弾の補給を往復するシャトルランの連続です。 最高難易度においては、敵が多すぎるうえに速攻で設備を破壊してくるせいでまったくミッション目標を進めることができず、クリアするのが不可能です。 武器やスキルのアンロックが進めば快適になるのでしょうが、この弱すぎる状態で数十回以上プレイしろというのはさすがに信仰心を試しすぎている。 一般的な思考の持ち主がこの苦行に耐えることは到底不可能でしょう。 1人でFPSをやりたいなら「Roboquest」をやればいいし、みんなでワイワイやりたいなら「Deep Rock Galactic」をやればいいので、本作を買う意味が見いだせない。 セールで1500円になりますが、ゲーム体験としてはヴァンサバ以下のボリュームしかないので、500円くらいが適切でしょう。 こんなものに1,000円以上払うのも勿体ないし、パソコンの容量を20GB以上割くことも無駄でしかありません。
