Should i buy red faction

Like great sci-fi, Guerrilla used its alien setting to explore ideas that would feel uncomfortable and controversial if presented literally. THQ hoped Armageddon would serve as a launchpad for a larger cross-media initiative. Since picking up the franchise, THQ Nordic has been quietly updating Red Faction: Guerrilla on Steam , improving performance and fixing its online multiplayer functionality.

In hindsight, that work appears to have laid the foundation for this remaster. THQ Nordic is currently building off the Darksiders remaster with Darksiders 3 , scheduled for release sometime this year. The work on Darksiders suggests an promising roadmap for the Red Faction series. You can check out nine 4K screenshots of Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered below.

It may not add any new content to address the empty open world and bland story, but it does perform well, and everything I loved about Red Faction: Guerrilla is still front and center and looking better than ever.

I really liked its style, which is pretty unique and I certainly want to play it all the way to the very end.

I did my research and realised this is not the only Red Faction game. I saw screenshots from both Red Faction and Red Faction II, and it didn't seem at all like the Guerrilla one plus, the old graphics, which is not a big deal at the time, but still All I'm asking is, should go ahead and buy it, or would I lose serious lore and experience about it if I haven't played the others?

IF you are worried about lore chronology; then older games should be played first these games help you understand the state of things in RF:G.. But it isn't necessary; you can google the lore if you are interested. Red Faction 1 and 2 were similar in terms of destructive environments, but they were FPS games and the levels were somewhat linear.
