    Amazing Game!!! I have loved this since it's initial release!! I wish all open-world games could have destruction physics as this game implements it so well.

I wish all open-world games could have destruction physics as this game implements it so well. I remember spending hours and hours tearing down buildings support beams just to watch them crumble. Climbing up in a building and watching it crumble from above is so cool. Literally the destruction physics alone sell the game, even in our current gen era, (there are not enough of these games these days), and now we have a pretty solid port on the Switch.

    I am giving this a 10 in order to further support good Switch ports and encourage more developers to bring their games to this platform!!

    A breakdown of how I would rate components of this game;

    Story: 6.5
    Graphics: 8.0
    Sound: 9.0
    Re-Playability: 10
    Controls: 8.0

    Порт на свитч вышел хороший. После assassins creed 3 и saints row 3 я ожидал кучу проблем, но нет. Эта игра была перенесена на свитч очень аккуратно. fps довольно стабильный, инпутлаг минимальный(какая же это редкость в ААА на свитче), поворот камеры гироскопом прикрутили. В общем в этом порте лишь одна проблема - сама игра. Она довольно пустовата сама по себе и может показаться малостьПорт на свитч вышел хороший.

    If all you're looking for in a game is an excuse to completely destroy loads of buildings and shoot loads of enemies, you'll enjoy Red Faction: Guerilla. It gives you a bunch of cool weapons and vehicles like mech suits and tanks and encourages you to have some cathartic fun.

    There's not much more to it than the core gameplay of destruction - there is a story but it's pretty thin and exists only to give you a reason to blow stuff up. There's also a fair bit of driving, but it's far from the most fun the game can offer.

    The game works best when you're destroying every building you can see, and thankfully there is a lot of that. Unfortunately, constant destruction does lose its initial 'how cool is this?!' feeling after a while, and the shooting mechanics are decent but nothing exciting. On the plus side, Red Faction is short enough that it ends before you feel fatigued by it all.

    The port itself seems solid to me apart from a few frame rate drops when there's a lot going on plus the noticeable pop-in of terrain. It's not the prettiest game either, with bland environments and a very limited colour palette, but given that it's set on a recently terraformed Mars, it's somewhat forgiveable.

    Red Faction is good for some mindless fun, but apart from it's interesting physics engine that makes the destruction satisfying, it's a little forgettable on the whole. However, given that you know what you're in for - a fun but unremarkable excuse to destroy, destroy, destroy - I'd recommend it. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but overall, it's a decent game, if nothing special.    … Expand

    Finally, after testing about 20 games, one which I´m proud of! A triple A Game! One worth the AAA rating... ok, its not rating, but you understand me. After playing it for 30 minutes, I´m in love with it. The graphics are great, it seems, the story will be deep, you can use cars, destroy almost everything, nice choice of weapons. Upgrades, multiplayer. And again, the game looks absolutelyFinally, after testing about 20 games, one which I´m proud of! A triple A Game!

The last great looking game was Assassins Creed, but this is far better!! Probably it looks better on a PS4, but I think its pushing the limits of the Switch to the edge! As I sad, only 30 minutes of play till now and I´m going back to the game when I finish this comment. There is so much more to test and do.
    So I recommend this game. If you are willing to get a game and dont know which should you buy, this may be the one. And if it costs only 4 bucks more then the gooshysomething fighters... wow... Then this is really cheap (or the other is really expansive).
    Anyway... check the video below if you would like to see how the game looks when you start it and play it for 30 minutes. I must end the comment here and I´m going back to play it...

    There something wrong about this remaster. They changed to much. Messed up the controls and the camera perspective.. The color of mars is even different.

    Played the original on both PC and PS3. Such a great game to be able to play on the Switch. The story isn't great but the gameplay and destruction around it is cool.

    It's also one of the best ports I have seen.

    Fps can drop when there is a lot of stuff going on but that doesn't bother me.

    There's nothing new to say about Guerrilla that hasn't been said before - its gameplay is solid and enjoyable enough to hold up its shortcomings in the story and graphics departments. They just don't make games like this anymore, and perhaps with good reason. Nevertheless, this is a robust cult classic that houses some thrills up its sleeve. It's intriguing that Red Faction has even made a reappearance… Is THQ Nordic gauging interest for a sequel, perhaps?

    This was one of the most enjoyable games when it first came out during the PS360 generation, and Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered is proof that this is still the case for this generation.

    Red Faction Guerrilla’s primary hook, its physics-based destruction, has aged remarkably well. It is still to this day incredibly fun to take out the support of a building and watch it tumble to the ground. Regrettably, the game that surrounds this mechanic is a shallow and repetitive misunderstanding of open-world design. Add to this the less than impressive performance levels of the Switch version and you’re left with a great idea that just doesn’t have the design to support it. Much like the result of its primary game mechanic, Red Faction Guerrilla crumbles without the support of more engaging gameplay to surround that mechanic.
