    Red Faction meets Minecraft by the looks of it. It's an old game (2015)
    that is multiplayer only so servers are dead apparently. Haven't tried
    it myself, doubt I ever will but hey, gotta catch them all :)

    Ah, I played it before from its free weekend:

    Product received for free

    So, a Minecraft multiplayer FPS game. I couldn't find any active servers to play online since late last night for its free weekend. :("

    I guess that's why it went free today!

    Hey, I'm skipping this one too. Am I becoming more discerning as my
    years advance? Is there a point at which - one day - I look at my
    video-game library and say, "Nah, that's big enough"?

    What a horrifying thought.

    But this game has so many strikes against it. Indie. Multiplayer only.
    Ugly visuals. Dead. And (based on the screenshots) absolutely filled
    with user-created memes. A few of these sins I could forgive, but so
    many all in one place?

    Yeah, I'll won't be pokemonning this one.

    But thanks (I guess) for the heads up, MG. I might not be taking the
    game, but at least I can make fun of it. That's worth something. ;-)
