"Red Faction" is a pretty standard shooter game with a fun mechanic - Geomod, which theoretically allows you to blow holes into the environment. In practice it only works on select surfaces and I quickly forgot about this mechanic during my playthrough, only noticing it when an NPC threw a granate every now and then. The later levels tend to become somewhat frustrating - not really hard, but ammo and health is quite scarce and enemies generally instakill you. I had to re-load the game about every 0.5 seconds for some 30 times in some of the battles because I had only 1 HP left and had to get the timing right. Beside these issues "Red Faction" is a fun 90s-style shooter.
