With FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment has entered the world of the first-person co-op shooter. Players in Firebreak are like firefighters or disaster responders, with each member occupying a different role: mechanic, water carrier, electrician. Control, the central foundation of Remedy’s wider connected universe that also includes Alan Wake, is at its core weird. In Control, you would clear rooms and see the game world change permanently. The levels are akin to hero-shooter arenas, devoid of the deep lore of a Remedy game.
