Not bad but not great
I played through this months ago with no prior experience of the game, and I found it an okay experience for the age and quality of game it is. The gameplay itself is generally alright, albeit sometimes janky. The enemies can be a bit of a pain as well, and the forced stealth section too. The most annoying gameplay issue is that there's a bomb puzzle near the end you have to solve to finish the game, but it's completely RNG-based and resets each time you reset or reload. It's the last thing you have to do before the last cutscene plays. The destructible environments are pretty awesome in the places they show up, which is less often than you might think, but there are mods to make more places destructible. Probably the most interesting thing about Red Faction is that feature. The story isn't perfect, but it's acceptable. The main problem with the story comes down to the fact that it sets up a specific plot thread about a virus that, if I recall, doesn't get resolved. After that, the story kinda forgets about it and shifts towards another plot thread that does actually get resolved. Even with all that, though, I'm not going to call it a bad game. As someone who never grew up with this game, I understand what it means to people who did play it then and how much it means to them. I'm not trying to badmouth the game in any way, but give an opinion from a non-nostalgic point of view. But you should give this game a try yourself and form your own opinion if you haven't played it, the least you need to do so is a mod/source port called "Dash Faction". I hope you found my review helpful and/or informative in some way.
