Red Faction Guerrilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition Reviews
If you're seeking third-person shooting action with a healthy dose of destructions peppered in while this title may show its overall age it can still offer up some fun...
It's a game that's constantly reminding you that it is a game released in 2009, with its dated single-player mode and boring missions.
All in all, Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered is a game I would definitely recommend to anyone, especially if they think too much time has passed since the last Red faction game release.
One decade later, RFG it's still one of the best games in terms of destructible enviroments, a very gratifying feature that the remastered edition retains... as it does with its shortcomings, like a relatively empty map to repetitive missions or the graphics, that look outdated in some areas like character models.

Despite an optimization that works only half the time, Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered has managed to entertain us like never before, even ten years after its first debut. If you have never stepped on Red Faction's martian soil, this Switch porting represents a great opportunity to make up for it.

Despite being a weaker console than it’s bigger brothers, the Switch version of Red Faction Guerrilla: ReMARStered is a feature-perfect port. Sure, the resolution takes a big hit and the performance seems like it may be targeting a lower framerate than the other systems, but the core gameplay and excitement is all there and it feels great to play this game anywhere you want.
Acceptable remaster without surprises and with old stlyle gameplay.

There's quite a lot that I like about Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered and some parts, not so much.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered brings back the best destruction in gaming. It also opens the door for another game in the series.
It may be almost a decade old, but Red Faction Guerrilla's bland sandbox and story is still easily overlooked in favour of its gold standard of open-world demolition that now benefits from a substantial bump in visual quality.
The core loop of liberation through complete and utter destruction remains incredibly fun, though, and the unilateral destructibility still feels genuinely novel. Important moments of revolution and history are captured in glimpses of the crumbling monuments of a waning mind-set—for example, the destruction of the Berlin Wall is a physical manifestation of Eastern Europe's unrest and frustration towards the Soviet Union, and the wall's destruction remains a mark of liberation in an area where the residual effects of past regimes can still be felt today. Guerillamakes me wonder what will mark America's liberation from the current tyranny in power—or if a liberation, be it physical or psychological, will occur at all.
Red Faction Guerrilla Re-mars-tered isn’t a bad title but certain aspects show their age and the lack of refinement from the original release. That’s not to say that it’s not a hell of a lot of fun to take on the EDF in any way you see fit, it’s just that the controls can often get in the way of a really enjoyable time.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a game that knows its place in life and owns it. A game so confident in its gimmick that nothing else in the game world matters. It was refreshing when it was released and it is still refreshing now. No heavy stories, no deep combat systems, just a man, his hammer and a giant playground waiting to be torn apart. Bliss.
Red Faction: Guerrilla's biggest strength is without a doubt the sheer amount of fun you can have smashing things across Mars. Sadly, that initial enjoyment doesn't last long as you proceed to do the same missions over and over again. Is this game worth picking up, or even worth replaying? For the sake of nostalgia, it might be nice to boot up the game just to relive old memories, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing this title. Despite launching at a reduced price and even being free in some instances, I would suggest playing something else. The standards for open-world third-person shooters has risen far beyond Red Faction: Guerrilla. Skip this game unless you are a huge fan of the original, or you just really love breaking stuff.
The gameplay itself is fun and the weapon variety is great, but the crashes really kill a lot of the fun. Outside of that, the game world is rather bland, but at least that doesn't break the game.
While the graphical and technical improvements in RFG : Re-mars-tered are obvious and appreciated. No improvements in Game play seriously damages the quality of this remaster. Red Faction Guerilla : Re-mars-tered is the definitive Red Faction Experience but at the same time is far from a perfect remaster.

Red Faction Guerilla ReMARStered is far from perfect, but it's fun, and it's proof that not every game needs to have a serious, super in-depth narrative to please.
Red Faction: Guerrilla was one of my favorite games in childhood, but after playing through it with fresh eyes I'm able to see the issues I didn't pick up as a kid: the story isn't memorable, the combat is lackluster, and the large open world isn't full of many interesting things to do.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered presents a great opportunity for those who have already played it and those who haven't. For the former, it's a chance to experience its explosive, imperfect glory in a higher framerate and with better visuals. For the latter, it's a chance to play one of the cult classics of last generation at its peak.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered shows a lot of contradictions: we can find the same amazing and never equaled free approach, but also a very old-fashioned game world that results too much empty for today's standards.
