It seems bland, but there is a shockingly high amount of stuff to say about this game.

The story is, clearly, just Total Recall setup with some changes. The odd part though is the protagonist, who after the introduction cutscene, is silent for the next two hours. He then talks and I wish he was quiet again. Parker is one of the most obnoxious and annoying protagonists I've played in a game. Then, a miracle happens, he doesn't talk again until pretty much the end of the game.

The actual gameplay is fine. It feels best early on, as late game enemies make all but three weapons useless, as they are heavily armed and frequently carry one-shot kill weapons. Luckily for me, I liked those three weapons. The main crime is vehicle segments and stealth. The former doesn't feel good and takes up too much of the game. The latter is somehow easy and absurdly difficult.

I had an OK time with Red Faction, but it won't be a game I return to.
