![]() The characters are barely memorable and there is almost no defined singular bad guy until the final minutes of the game. ![]() If you are hoping for anything more meaningful, the game falls quite short. In that respect, it is perfectly serviceable, and it feels good to stick it to the evil corporations. The story never really develops into much of anything other than a thin excuse to destroy anything and everything in your way. They are tasked with mining the planet for enough resources to satisfy the ever-growing demand from Earth, and they will get it by whatever means necessary. They are fighting back against the brutal and uncaring Earth Defense Force, your one-time allies from previous installments. Instead his brother initiates him into the underground resistance movement, the Red Faction. He immediately learns that Mars is not the utopia he was led to believe it was. But the game’s completely destructible world and the way it facilitates wanton destruction is still so satisfying that I once again found myself having a great time tearing through Mars.įor those who missed out the first time around, you play as Alec Mason, a mining engineer who makes his way to Mars to make a better life for himself. Now, it’s not as though in the intervening decade since its initial release that this game’s limp characters and storytelling, bland and often empty open world, and occasionally repetitive side-missions have been made more forgivable perhaps the opposite. Putting aside all the strange business that surely exists behind the scenes of something like this coming to store shelves–and being named Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered–the game was overlooked when it came out and that mistake shouldn’t be made again. Despite everything standing in its way, it has somehow found a way to come back in 2018 and, more impressively, it still feels as fun as it did nearly ten years ago. Red Faction: Guerrilla, an open world shooter, also came out before we had the revolution in open world game design from the likes of The Witcher III and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This failure lost the publisher, THQ, millions of dollars just a couple years before the they famously went belly up in 2013. The series was buried after Guerrilla’s follow-up, Red Faction: Armageddon, completely missed the mark.

Įndeavour crater is a 14-mile (23 km) wide crater on Mars, that was explored by the MER-B Rover Opportunity in the 2010s, after landing on the planet in 2004. Another effect of this angle was that sand and dust that had collected on the rover flowed in streaks over the back of the rover, such was the incline. MER-B was trying to reach a target on Knudsen Ridge, on the south side of Marathon Valley, which meant attempting a steep grade which can cause wheel slippage. Also in March 2016 it achieved the steepest slope traverse (32 degree) yet of its mission, surpassing the slope it took on at Burns Cliff in 2004. Then in March 2016 it accomplished the distance of a classic marathon. The MER-B Opportunity rover summited Cape Tribulation in January 2015, which was the highest Martian elevation achieved yet on its mission. The top of Cape Tribulation is about 134 meters (440 feet) higher than the plains that surround the crater. The MER-B Opportunity rover spent 30 months exploring Cape Tribulation from 2014 to 2017.
