Playing FBC: Firebreak felt like taking on a second job
Briefly

FBC: Firebreak is a multiplayer spinoff from Remedy Entertainment's Control, humorously satirizing corporate culture. Players engage as nameless cleaners tasked with eliminating the Hiss amidst tasks that parody office life. The game incorporates a live-service model, offering inventive gameplay; however, it tends to become repetitive without much narrative depth. Memorable moments, like facing quirky enemies and dealing with absurd tasks like sticky note destruction, reflect both a clever satirical approach and the struggle of maintaining engagement in a more monotonous environment.
