I played FBC: Firebreak and not fun in the dark tasks of the game alone

I am hours on the second night of the matches before FBC: Firebreak begins to feel. I have two other players in Chukiti, each with a different set of equipment and weapons, and we are fighting the legions of enemies while doing strange functions around the building of our haunted office. After several tasks, we finally learned the non -typical approach to the game to fight the team and how to support each other. But there is one clear thing: if you don’t want to cooperate, this game is not for you.

Latest game from Alan Week II Studio Remedy Entertainment, FBC: Firebreak is a collaborative offer to control the game of the Mono Player 2019 game. Since the studio game for the first time is multi -player, it comes with warts and wonders expected from the first effort. But how Remedy managed to mix the experiences of the unique game with the inability to predict online cooperation that makes FBC: Firebreak the unique unique game.

The treatment was clear about what FBC: Firebreak- AA-SCOPE game is not big or cheerful like the leading AAA nicknames, such as Alan Wake II for 2023. FBC: Firebreak is only $ 40, half a price Mario Cart WorldOUTER Worlds 2 and other upcoming AAA games. The studio contains at least a year of free -planned free content: Firebreak owners, including future -playable additions. Cosmetic additions such as clothes and armed leather will be available for purchase.

FBC: Firebreak provides a strong value-a multi-player game in which you can dive with two friends for anything from a 10-minute comfortable task to a 30-minute exploratory trip for a 30-minute to the dark corners of the game. There is a great deal of additional privileges and weapons for the LL and the players will continue to obtain new content, including tasks, enemies and added equipment, for at least a year.

Six years after control, the players take the role of the Federal Office of the Watch and Widget Guard Office who survived the invasion of the original chain of the game. While the FBC manager, Jesse Vadin (the protagonist of control), is out of an important job, he has the responsibility of the players to finish the work in which it started and made the mysterious and acquired offices building, the oldest house, believed again.

Firebreak goes an accurate line, and re -use many familiar elements of control with a lot of preamble stripping intentionally to get players from the title screen in a match as soon as possible. When I spoke to the game director, Mike Kaiyata, at the summer festival at the festival shortly before the release, he stressed that the game will not include the main story content that fans need to play before Control 2.

Best advice to watch fires: coordination or death

Multiple The inspectionsMy Firebreak game is still the same: the cooperative shooter of the first person who mixes 4 dead and ghostbusters, with enough taste for treatment to feel unique. Frying enemies periodically pigment your team of impressive mechanics, who must adventure in the low returns of the offices building for basic repairs – mixing feverish fighting with escalating tasks.

What was changed in this review – after the four media directed to playing the final version before the launch – is to see how it fits everything with teams from the players across the task after the task.

What Firebreak is doing well is giving a trilogy of friends in voice chat a strong background activity for chatting and hanging – it can expand difficult to satisfy players who love the challenge. Its cooperation mechanics are entertaining peculiarities – a few other archers make you soak enemies with a water cannon so that a band can follow up with an electric shock to calm them once. Gunplay is tight, and the jam hangs from the privileges that can be canceled adequate reasons for maintaining restart matches.

But multiple players require a lot of coordination, which can be difficult when relying on strangers, random skill levels and cooperation that he brings online play. The common instinct of the player is the best way to succeed in Firebreak, but things are much easier when you can communicate with your teammates.

This makes it difficult to recommend playing without a voice chat-and there is no integrated audio support at parties that will significantly hinder the teamwork necessary for solid operation. The Pinging System is not enough, and the matches without gossip in the team painfully are calm.

There is a sense of humor in the alignment of this deficiency in communicating with the hypothesis of the game-that you and every member of the Firebreak members fill your team is the Office Comps in temporary shields to wipe the cabins of other invaders. While I jump in matches with people who do not have voice chat or rarely use the game Ping Mechanics to communicate, I imagine that I have come close to Bob to Accounting who did not exchange emails. (Or, because we are in the world of technology -bound control, notes between the office.)

But as part of Headcanons, it is still frustrating when there is no way to communicate (not even textual chat) with your teammates to give them tips if they are new or brilliance in complex mechanics. The first few weeks of FBC: Firebreak’s launch may be chaotic Elden Ring NightreignWith players learn to fly and know the best practices while playing.

Firebreak is a new but limited attempt, the first multi -player player

There are a few who tell this is the first multi -game game in Remedy. The most obvious is not to communicate in the game. There are also unequal screws and some strange instinct – such as stumbling in a fan trying to fix, which can also describe the team’s teammates – amid mostly smooth matches. The bones of the experiment are, with fun flowing from one goal to another, and smart methods that increase the rhythm.

It is the spirit of humor and elegance that makes this game stand out from the crowd, although it is not strange like other studio games and you will not get much depth in science – at most, there are traffic lights to elements of control or mention of the legendary dialogue AHTI. Just as with Elden Ring Nightreign, Firebreak is used in one of the world’s players to explore in their own pace, but with a very fast game pace do not leave time (sincerely, little to discover) for those looking for larger communications for treatment.

How to play in play is also limited. There are three groups, each with PlayStyle bird identification equipment, to choose from, in addition to six different weapons (you can only transfer one to the field) and three types of grenades. At launch, there are five missions (called “Jobs”) to choose from. However, Remedy confirmed that the autumn and winter updates 2025 will add each other, which reaches a total of seven updates at the end of the year.

Compared to a similar collaborative game like Heldivers 2, FBC: Firebreak has less diversity, and its lack of procedural areas created means that players will learn a handful of tasks very quickly. Likewise, there are no random events and heads of Eden Ring Nightreign that make all toys are somewhat unexpected; You will need to run jobs several times to be able to run corruption (which decreases in the changing elements that shake the way of playing) to obtain random elements similarly in fire fire.

But each of these three games is very different in tone and play. FBC: Firebreak meets the fantasy of playing the office secretary or the central manager who is cleaned in nature from your workplace using gravel -packed trial tools and any rifles you can find. It should also be noted that Firebreak has full gameplay, while Xbox owners have continued to get out of hellelders 2.

As the first multi -players game in Remedy, there is some strange tactic at work, but I cannot deny some disappointment that initial moments of studio games – things like Maze Severe Maze or Alan Wake II are not present. Although I love these moments and the heights you reach, I also cherish them for the unique strangeness that makes me feel that I am playing something that can only create. This is not suitable for a multiple players experience, kayatta Tell me again in MarchAnd this is concept. Instead, the game is designed to produce emerging moments and is organically unplanned for players.

And yes, I definitely faced those in the short inspection period. After intensifying the difficulty in the difficulty – which I recommend as the basis line of the full teams of the inventors of the warriors in the treatment game – teammates (and lived) fell, and the last sections of the jobs felt properly. In one of the task, Hot Fix, we venture into the oven then – known for controlling fans – to fill the GOO barrels that we reach Ziplines.

One of his colleagues filled the barrels and sent them to the gradual area, and another from the legions from time to time, while the barrels fed the fiery oven from all over the room. We found a rhythm that was accomplished. After closing the oven and a strong mini lower, the heavy guitar begins. We get orders on the radio to return to the elevator. Watching each other as we jumped towards the theater’s exit, bombing music, and getting what is going on for treatment – these dark tasks are not intended to be played alone. Increase difficulty, seize a couple and ride together.

FBC: Firebreak comes out for PS5, Xbox Series X, Series S and PC on Steam and at Epic Games on June 17 for $ 40.
