Red Faction

one of the best FPS games from the early PS2 days to bad this version is broken in some places during the missions

After being a massive saints row fan and wanting to check out volition's other games, I realized I own all their games on steam. I decided with their closure, I wanted to check out what else Voltion worked on other then saints row. Red Faction is not a gangbanger simulator but instead a space miner simulator where you gotta join a rebellion to fight against the evil corporation known as Ultor. The story for the game is pretty barebones which is kind of disappointing when other games from around this time had full blown stories that were actually interesting. The story that was there was pretty good and the character and dialogue does have that volition feel to it. This game feels pretty similar to Far Cry 1, from the guy who talks to you seriously sounding exactly like the guy from FC1, to the whole concept of someone giving you orders via a radio, The graphics for this game are beautiful if you play with a source port. I played with Alpine Faction which fixes alot of the bugs when you play on a higher frame rate and it was running at a buttery smooth 240 fps (not like I had doubts due this games age), It runs beautifully on Linux as well. You just need to get a 1.0 ,exe but the launcher gives you instructions on that. The gunplay for this game is extremely satisfying. It's basic but it definitely works. The different guns you can have in your kit give the game alot of variety and you will definitely have to come up with strategies in the later part of the game. The only disappointing parts about this game is the difficulty and the softlock towards the end of the game. Even on normal, you will get one shot by the rail gun. It also sucks that the AI has pretty good aim and will one shot you even through a wall. Also the artificial scarcity of medkits towards the end of the game is also very disappointing. Luckily if you're good at FPS games this game will be a cake walk on normal. The softlock is another issue. The game never tells you to do the objectives in a certain order, it encourages you to play how ever you want and do the objectives in different orders. This only applies to the other parts in the game except the space station. DO NOT DESTORY THE REACTOR BEFORE DESTORYING THE COMPUTERS OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEED TO START THE LEVEL OVER WITH A CONSOLE COMMAND! All in all I enjoyed my time with this game, it's fairly short but I expected that especially with its age. I'm excited to see the rest of the franchise and see what's in store for me. I give it 8/10 🍕 slices and its definitely dad certified.

El juego es bueno pero tiene problemas por ejemplo el del submarino no importa que haga y como logre intentar sacarlo siempre explota.

Это одна из лучших игр, в которую я играл в детстве. После повторного прохождения получил очень много хороших воспоминаний

Probably one of the greatest FPS. I still yearn for destruction, pure destruction. This was the first and still some of the best in an fps.

nice

«Обожаю эту игру — в своё время она просто взорвала мозг! Главная фишка — разрушаемость: можно буквально перекроить уровень под себя, простреливая стены и обрушивая конструкции. Сюжет про восстание шахтёров на Марсе цепляет, арсенал крутой, да и миссии разнообразны — есть даже управление техникой. Для своего времени это был настоящий прорыв, и даже сейчас ради атмосферы и механики стоит попробовать!»
