I found it a bit of a lame Demo. Too short and frustrating. The game is very dark and the enemies are annoying.

They give you a standard weapon last, so you have to juggle the advanced weapons to take on the enemies at first until you get the machine gun.

I think they’ve ruined Red Faction again, the last one was a really good game, this one is a step in the wrong direction.

I am not gonna judge it that far yet, the demo was simply too short and doesn’t seem to do the game justice. The trailer that plays after you finish it looks really cool. Plenty of nice looking environments, there will even be ‘Descent’ like parts in it. And as long as there are still human enemies too, i’m good.

Right now i’m not too happy with the creatures in the game, makes it feel like Dead Space with destruction, but time will tell.
