Red Faction reviews

This game is a great example of good ideas not panning out well. The story is fairly underwhelming for the most part. It has strong parts in the beginning but thins out towards the end where everything seems to be rushed to completion. The gameplay is so uneven it borders on annoyance. At the start of the game I was constantly full up on health, armor and most ammo. After the first forced stealth section, which is a fucking crime in itself, I was also out of ammo and almost constantly getting one shotted. The accuracy for most guns is terrible which leads to a lot of wasted ammo. In the stealth sections if you get spotted all you are left with is a pistol which is the worst weapon so good luck surviving. I had a lot of trouble on the second stealth section as the safer way to get through is with a little mini quest that involves you transporting organs. This isn't explained well at all and in the end I couldn't figure out where exactly to go after reaching the operating room so I just went loud and got lucky. The game was slog for the most part and in the later half when you get more difficult enemies I ended up using the precision rifle almost exclusively because of its accuracy and damage. Which in itself is a shame because there are some interesting weapons that you just avoid because that is the best of the bunch. The boss fights are also awful. I had to retry the robot one multiple times as it glitched out once and the other times it would not follow me into the area you need to trap it. The others bosses have a bullet sponge shields before you can one shot them making them very uninteresting. The final nail in the coffin is at the last minute of the game they spring a bomb defusal minigame on you that has a minute timer. At no point was this in the game before so having to figure it out at the end like that so quickly was really not a great idea. Overall this is just something you can skip because it is very forgettable. I much prefer the sequel and Guerilla. 

I basically like Stories about Mars. I have always been fascinated by our neighbouring Planet. That's why I accessed "Red Faction." First, to the Craft. Unfortunately, the Graphics are already very much in the Years. You should also have a Taste for red-brown Colours. Except for the few Sections with Buildings, Spaceships and stations, one moves below or on the Surface of Mars. And that's just reddish brown, The Textures are mushy, the Animations wooden and the Design relatively unimaginative. In addition, without Tricks, you only get a Resolution of 1280x1024 Pixels. Even the Number of Opponents is absolutely manageable and something like a Boss Opponent can only be seen in the Game three Times. The Music is not very stirring, it is also used selectively, which often makes you fight in Silence in front of you. The Sounds don't rip you off the Chair either. Standard Ware. Bugs I didn't spot any. But You should be careful to save regularly (no Quicksafe). Once I got into a Situation where I had to flee in just a few Seconds, had only 9% Life and 4 Opponents got in the Way. Unfortunately, I saved by Quicksafe just before, which meant that I couldn't finish this Event alive. The Restart Option does not mean to restart the Level, but the complete Game!! Autosafe does not exist. A Car, by the way, doesn't. And now to the actual Reason of my Purchase. The Story. Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed with the Story. I find she's very predictable, the Characters are pale and you barely Get any Reasons about her. In Fact, there is nothing newsworthy about it. No WOW effect, no Twist, no Overuse, no Mystery. Even for an older Game, that's too little. The FPS rarely focus on the Story, I am already aware, but quite honestly-we all know that it is better. Unfortunately, there is no Recommendation from me. Let's see what Part 2 has to offer.
