Remember the creepy children's puppet show from Control? FBC: Firebreak's launch trailer isn't nearly as creepy, but it's continuing the puppet show idea that Control started, at least.
Remedy's launch trailer for their first multiplayer game doesn't feature gameplay of any type. Instead, it leans into the narrative element of the entire Remedy universe.
We're less than a day into FBC: Firebreak's lifespan and the three-player cooperative shooter already has a mostly negative rating from players on Steam. Many reviews have less than an hour of playtime, meaning they either didn't spend much time in the game, they bounced off of the gameplay quickly, or some combination of both. Other reviews give positive feedback while calling other reviews disingenuous. In GameSpot's FBC: Firebreak preview, Mark Delaney called the FPS "a defiant, punk rock take on co-op shooters."
FBC: Firebreak is the first multiplayer game from the studio behind Control and Alan Wake. It features teams of three--each person has their own distinct kit--taking on hordes of enemies while trying to accomplish a variety of objectives. There are three jobs available at launch, each with a number of difficulty settings that expand the length of the job and number of enemies.
FBC: Firebreak post-launch roadmap
Many reviews cite a lack of content as a reason for their disappointment. Remedy has detailed two future updates, including additional jobs and maps that will come to the game this Fall and Winter. Fans looking for more from FBC: Firebreak could check back in after those updates are released.
