Review
FBC: Firebreak attempts to blend the intriguing lore of the Control universe with cooperative first-person shooting but ultimately falls short. While it introduces a promising elemental combat system and encourages teamwork within its cleverly designed missions, players are likely to find the repetition and uninspired mission structure dampening their experience. Its steep price tag makes the perceived lack of content even more disappointing, leading many to question its long-term viability. Remedy's first cooperative shooter is a mixed bag, with some enjoyable moments overshadowed by significant shortcomings that may prevent players from returning to the Oldest House.Background information
Critics have had a varied response to FBC: Firebreak. SECTOR.sk praises the game's immersive premise and cooperative dynamics, while Shacknews highlights the replayability factor due to job customization. Conversely, GamingBolt felt it didn't quite match the genre's best offerings, and other outlets such as Pocket Tactics and Game Rant criticize the lack of engaging missions and depth, suggesting that the game may need substantial updates to realize its potential.Screenshots
