Red Faction Guerrilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition
Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction. Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF's grip on Mars. Strategic Destruction – Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment.

Game has good destruction physics. It's honestly disappointing how games today don't even reach the level of physics this game has.

This game man. Played it when it came out. Thought it was amazing demolition for the day. After all these years, nothing comes close. Kind of sad really.

A fantastic remaster of a criminally underrated open-world sandbox.
In my opinion, this is the peak of the series. While it certainly has its flaws, the core experience is incredibly unique. The biggest highlight is the destruction mechanics, honestly, they haven't been matched by any game since. Even with its annoyances, it’s hard not to recommend this one.
Pros:
Unmatched destruction.
Responsive controls.
Great optimization.
Fun combat.
Awesome arsenal.
Good gameplay variety.
Decent story.
Great voice acting.
Cons:
It can feel repetitive in the late game.
Shooting mechanics are a bit mediocre.
Driving physics can feel overly "jumpy" and light.

Awesome game. Classic by now. You can destroy everything. Cool atmosphere that will make you feel like you are on Mars. NPC's and news reports react to how you play. So if you destroyed some important building for example, you gonna hear about that in the news, which is pretty nice touch that makes the world feel organic.
Also quite underrated soundtrack.
Still closest thing we have to Total Recall the videogame :) Game crashed twice within 35h of gameplay so no big deal. Other than that it works just fine.
Now get your ass to Mars!

This game is the gold standard of destruction dynamics. After all these years, no other game that I know of gets even close. Makes you wonder if the gaming industry is actually getting better at making games or making profit.

Don't go in expecting a good story. It's a proper sequel to Red Faction, just lacking in the music and impactful weapon department.
Still, no game has gotten procedural destruction right since this came out. The missions aren't horrendous or anything, just bland and sometimes a little frustrating. The multiplayer is 100% dead. There's a HORSE-type game involving destruction that you could potentially play with a friend or two.
The DLC is nothing special, but it's just more of the same if you end up wanting some variety based on the main free-roam campaign.
This, and Red Faction, are begging for a reimagination from the ground up.
Oh, Re-Marstered is free for owners of Guerilla, runs better than the standard version and looks a little better.

It's been 17 years and there is still nothing else quite like this game. I don't have much hope of living to see this game's setting of the future year of 2125, but I may well have already met someone who will.
