FBC: Firebreak did not live up to the hopes we had for it. But, as we noted in our 60% review, “many of Firebreak’s problems are fixable. A thorough balance revision would immediately improve the experience.” In an update posted on Steam today, Remedy said that’s exactly the plan. After the usual ‘thanks for the…
It might not be immediately apparent, what with its pompous music and brutal murder of Patrick Stewart, but The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is a very funny game.
