Just today, creaking old co-op paranormal action was rightfully gifted into the PS Plus Game Catalog, and the weirdness is on its way down the watery slide. FBC: Firebreak, the newest creation of Remedy Entertainment, is all about teaming up to clean house—literally cleaning. But this ain’t your grandmother’s typical spring cleaning days. We’re talking about The Oldest House, a Huntsman-shifty labyrinth of Control; a place where walls move when you look away, and the janitor is probably an eldritic horror.
Reactions remain basically mixed. Some gamers are hyped up, Dylan is downloading it in a rage to try it by tonight; some others? Well, Felnec says, “just alright for like 15-20 mins.” Ouch. Then there is Keith all rant-mode: “Why are you obsessed with multiplayer slop?! People quit after two days!” Damn, Keith tell us how you really feel.
The co-op thing is dividing the room also. Soulbound TV completely nails it: “Co-op means dragging your clueless friend through a paranormal mess 😂.” Very apt. In stark contrast, TrigonHex bounced away as soon as he heard the word “co-op,” while arsenalfan6666 shouted for PlayStation to “bring back single-player titles.” Looks like some really aren’t feeling the party vibe.
Remedy fans, however, are feasting. _Guygravity_ gave infinite props for Remedy’s universe-building, and _notyourbuddy_ went on to make comparisons with Control (very high praise). Odin is chilling with his PS Plus subscription, saying, “Thanks, Remedy 👌.” All this while kleen_shot demands gyro aim or no dice—priorities, people.
The weirdest comeback? Animal Crossing Facts pops in asking if PlayStation machines play Animal Crossing. Sir, this is a paranormal crime scene.
At any rate, bottom line: FBC: Firebreak is here, it’s weird, and it’s free-go for PS Plus members. Cleaning up haunted government buildings with friends is just a vibe, for better or worse. Now excuse me while I check if my squad can even cope with what’s hiding in the break room vending machine.
Pro tip: Watch out for the fridge.
