In this review by IGN, we delve into the chaotic world of FBC Firebreak, a multiplayer shooter from the brilliant minds at Remedy. Set in the eerie Control universe, players find themselves in the oldest house facing off against infected monsters and the menacing Hiss. Armed with unique crisis kits, each team member plays a crucial role in tackling oddball emergencies and surviving the interdimensional threats lurking within. The game offers a range of weapons and skills, adding depth to the cooperative gameplay experience as players navigate through visually distinct missions filled with vibrant lighting effects and particle explosions.
As you embark on missions in FBC Firebreak, the gameplay unfolds with a mix of approachable combat and challenging objectives, keeping you on your toes as you fight through hordes of enemies. The addition of tweakable corruption levels and difficulty settings ensures that each playthrough offers a fresh and engaging experience, with unexpected challenges to overcome. Despite the lack of Easter eggs typical of Remedy's games, Firebreak still manages to capture the essence of the connected universe through subtle hints and atmospheric details scattered throughout the maps. Upgrades and perks further enhance the gameplay, allowing players to specialize and strategize with their team to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious.
However, the game's heavy reliance on team coordination may pose a challenge for solo players or those matchmaking with strangers, as effective communication and cooperation are essential for success in Firebreak. While the game excels in delivering a cryptic and immersive experience reflective of Remedy's signature style, its limited scope and content may leave some players craving more long-term engagement. Despite these drawbacks, FBC Firebreak remains a thrilling multiplayer shooter that offers a glimpse into the perilous world of the oldest house, inviting players to band together, face the chaos, and emerge as victorious first responders in the face of otherworldly threats.
