Remedy says it’s hearing your feedback on FBC: Firebreak “loudly and clearly” and is committed to improving things, particularly the shooter’s opening hour, “starting now”.
Collating feedback from across social media, Discord, and Steam, the developer – for which Firebreak is its first self-published title – said that while “several things have gone well”, “clearly, not everything has”. Consequently, its first priority is to improve the game’s “first hour experience”, making progression faster and more rewarding.
“The game’s first hours do not provide a great experience due to a combination of things. Some of this is down to a lack of onboarding (more about that in a bit), explaining the game’s systems, how to take advantage of the tools at your disposal, and a lack of clarity as to what to do in the Jobs and how to do the work effectively,” the team said in its first patch notes.
