Red Faction
Description
In Red Faction, you play Parker, a weary miner who works for the corrupt Ultor Corporation. You reside on Mars, sometime in the future, and when a plague spreads through the mining community, some of the Ultor employees uncover a massive conspiracy. Thus ensues a battle by a group of lowly workers, headed up by the educated Parker, to expose the deadly experiments Ultor has unleashed onto its work force.
Red Faction was a very big leap forward in the FPS genre. It introduced many new technical features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, destructible environment and more. The unprecedented (at the time) interaction with the environment creates a very strong feeling of immersion that is very impressive even by today's standards.

- An ability to use land, sea, and air vehicles during your missions.
- Compelling storyline (written by the creators of the famous FreeSpace series) that will keep you hooked for many hours.

Not as fun as i remembered
I had fond memories of Red Faction, remembering the very innovative level destruction and the weapon that could shoot through walls. However, after replaying it for a bit, i was amazed at how poor the AI was, how clunky everything was and how dated it felt while playing. This one is best left in your memories, folks.

Broken Product on Windows 10 Anniversary
Despite being advertised as compatible with Windows 10 the game will crash less than a minute into a level. The only way to play it is by using a mod called Pure Red Faction but it has been rendered incompatible due to the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Additionally, there are game breaking problems with the game engine caused by a high frame rate yet there is no way to lock the framerate despite the v-sync checkbox in the launcher or the Nvidia control panel. It is advertised as compatible for Windows 10 so it should run out of the box on Windows 10 without relying on a now dysfunctional mod. If you are using Windows 10 Anniversary, check the Pure Red Faction site to see if they have created a compatible version, otherwise the game won't work.

A really solid retro shooter
A retro shooter that has aged really well and is still an absolute blast to play. I would recommend this game!
