It takes place so long after the first two games that you don’t really need to know anything about them, and it dials the destruction elements up to 11. With Volition’s open world chops, it’s a really fun and easy to play game. I’ll be honest, there’s a reason that Deep Silver went ahead and greenlit a remake for Red Faction Guerilla - because it’s the one you should play.
So, with four games in the series (just ignore Red Faction: Battlegrounds), which one should you play first? The original is 18 years old, but do you need to play it for the full story? Plus the multiplayer matches where me and my mate would rush for the rocket launchers and go nuts… Destroy the environment you’re wandering around in? Fantastic. Starting with the original game on PlayStation 2, I’ve been fascinated by the Red Faction franchise. We’ve all had that feeling when looking at the latest title in a franchise - what am I missing by playing this one first? Well, wonder no longer, because we’re here to tell you which order to play the Red Faction games in.
