The story of "Red Faction: Armageddon" has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it to be generic, predictable, and filled with clichés. While some appreciate the attempt to create a more linear narrative compared to its predecessor, "Guerilla," others criticize it for lacking depth and coherence, often describing it as a mere backdrop for the gameplay. Despite its shortcomings, the game still manages to engage players with its action and destructible environments, though the overall consensus is that the story is not a strong point of the experience.
“The story is decent, plot and gameplay progression is considerably more linear than Guerrilla's open-world freedom, however, you should not be coming in to this game expecting it to be Guerrilla 2.”
“The story is captivating and I love the large array of weapons that you can choose from.”
“The story takes a detour from its traditional rebellious themed roots and focuses on bug extermination--they actually make it work pretty well.”
“The worst part of the game is by far the writing, quips, and execution of the story.”
“The story is nonsense (yes, I even watched the Syfy original movie that tied this game to Guerrilla).”
“The story is terrible, and doesn't really matter anyway because no one expects this franchise to have a good story or even a story at all.”

An absolute destruction-fest with new ways to destroy everything and the ability to rebuild it all. New modes take the game to a different place.

Red Faction: Armageddon takes destructible environments and turns it into a weapon, perfect for those who like massive devastation. While the single-player campaign is a bit bland and linear, the action is still top notch.
