We’ve seen it all end in tears before. A beloved studio makes a name for itself creating revered, narrative-driven, single-player action games, and then puts out an investor-satisfying multiplayer game that fails to deliver. But with FBC Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment’s co-op FPS set within the besieged walls of Control’s Oldest House, things have felt different from the very start. A focus on eccentricity, scalable difficulties and session lengths, and an anti-live service approach positions it as a refreshing multiplayer experience. But is it just as fresh to play? After getting around three hours of hands-on time with FBC Firebreak at Remedy’s home base in Finland, I’m pleased to say that while it doesn’t do much to revolutionize the co-op shooter gameplay loop, it’s an absolute hoot.
