    I would write about the advantages of this game, but I didn't find them(
    I hope Arkane will be allowed to do what they want, as they are good developers. And let Redfall stay in 2023 and not come back.

    It is the worst Xbox game in general, and one of the biggest exponents of the low quality of its current products. Many programming errors, terrible optimization, on xbox consoles it's worse, terrible artificial intelligence, ugly designs, notable disconnections, and huge crashes.

    If you think the 30 fps cap is bad on Xbox, the PC port runs like absolute trash.
    What does Xbox mean by "optimization"? Because it's certainly Not to improve performance.

    Totally uninspired game. Runs poorly, looks poorly, feels poorly, I don't even know how they let this happen. It is really sad to see Arkane going from masterpieces like Dishonored and Prey to that Deathloop thing and now this horrid game called Redfall.

    It was really stupid of bethesda to force an immersive rpg company to make a live service shooter, and I don't think I'll be touching anything published by them in the future. Holy crap did it blow up in their face though.

Some elements of Far Cry, some of Borderlands, lots of looting like in Warzone. Like in Far Cry 6, the enemies are not especially challenging - AI could use some tweaking.

Ignore the haters bandwagon, it may not be the best game ever but I'd say it's a solid FPS that's more about fun than challenge.

    EDIT:
    Gave up after 30 hours. Repetitive, not much fun after a while, awkward combat, not satisfying enough to motivate me to want to play more. Not terrible, but not worth what I paid. If it had been £5 I would think it was ok value.

    The AI would get stuck in places, and the bosses were a ton easier than the normal vamp[ires that circled around the city. The NPCS also just didn't have dialogue unless they were important to the quest line. Most of them would just answer back with grunts and there was one that just straight-up ignores the players.

    The textures lacked a ton for a next-gen experience and for $70 slideshow cutscenes were definitely the last straw. Thankfully GamePass saved me $70 dollars, this game needed another year or two or just scrapped altogether because it wasn't the hit I thought it would be.

    Jacob and the gunplay are what save this from going lower on the score. Jacob is just a tool character and I love the Raven (it's either that or a crow) he has.

    Here no citizens fighting with vampires, lack of various self-proclaimed bands, lack of fights between vampires and controlled be them servants, fanatics.. City is boooring so much.
    Why , the hell, they did open world: it is power consuming and game is so poor because of that. mentioned similar games are heaven better.

    I love coop games, since playing with my friends is always a good experience in games like that - even when the game itself it's not actually good. Redfall is not even sustainable as a substructure to the fun. Why? simple enough.

    Poor gameplay. Its AI is horrendous. I remember playing smartphone games with smatter enemies than in this game. The skill tree is the definition of a "modern rpg", when the abilities do not actually matter and are overinflated to give you a sensation of a lot of content. The inventory is crazy bad. You gain a lot of weapons too fast and the overall experience is unbalanced, even on hard difficulty. Also, there's no need to work together since no actual treat requires that, so the abilities are kinda useless at some point. The only ok thing is the weapons design.

    Poor story. Most of it is told by static images - this game costs 70$ - and documents. No actual storytelling, I can assure you. NPC dialog? forget it. And how does the narrative influence the gameplay? oh, grab that and that, and that and bring it right here. That's it.

    Poor optimization. Alright, I'm already used to it since PC ports are usually bad in the generation. As a Ryzen 5 1600 owner, that actually gets worse since my CPU can't take some bad games. Even that, I never saw something run so bad on my PC. Jesus. Constant stuttering and FPS drop. I was playing at 25 fps sometimes, and reducing the graphics quality didn't do anything. The funny part is when you enter an underground map - separate from the open world - and the fps goes to 80 right away.

    I do not recommend this game. If you have gamepass, you can try it later, but not right now.

    Redial, the highly anticipated release from XYZ Studios, falls far short of its promise and is a prime example of a poorly executed video game. Despite its flashy marketing campaign and initial excitement, Redial fails to deliver on multiple fronts, leaving players frustrated, bored, and ultimately regretful of their purchase.

    Redial, the highly anticipated release from XYZ Studios, falls far short of its promise and is a prime example of a poorly executed video game. Despite its flashy marketing campaign and initial excitement, Redial fails to deliver on multiple fronts, leaving players frustrated, bored, and ultimately regretful of their purchase.

    One of the most glaring issues with Redial is its lackluster gameplay mechanics. The controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making even simple tasks a frustrating ordeal. The combat system, which should be a highlight of any action game, is marred by poor hit detection and repetitive animations. Instead of engaging battles that keep players on the edge of their seats, fights in Redial quickly become tiresome and predictable, lacking any depth or strategy.

    Furthermore, the game's storyline is convoluted and poorly developed. The narrative is riddled with plot holes, inconsistent character motivations, and a complete lack of emotional investment. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural, failing to establish any meaningful connections between the player and the game's world. It's a missed opportunity to create an immersive experience that players can truly get lost in.

    Visually, Redial is a disappointment as well. The graphics, touted as cutting-edge during the game's promotional campaign, are underwhelming and fail to impress. The environments lack detail and variety, making each level feel monotonous and uninspired. Character models suffer from stiff animations and lackluster design, further detracting from any potential visual appeal.

    To add insult to injury, Redial is riddled with technical issues. Frequent crashes, game-breaking bugs, and long loading times plague the experience, disrupting any semblance of enjoyment that players might have had. It's evident that the developers rushed the release without adequately addressing these critical problems, leading to a frustrating and unfinished game.

    Even the sound design in Redial is subpar. The music lacks depth and fails to create the intended atmosphere, often feeling like an afterthought rather than an integral part of the gaming experience. The voice acting, if present at all, is mediocre at best, with unconvincing performances that further contribute to the game's overall lack of immersion.

    A Disappointing Game Experience

    In conclusion, Redial is a highly disappointing game that fails to deliver on its promises. With its clunky gameplay mechanics, poorly developed storyline, lackluster visuals, technical issues, and subpar sound design, it's hard to find redeeming qualities in this title. Players are advised to steer clear of Redial and invest their time and money in more polished and engaging gaming experiences available on the market.

    It looks awful (seriously it looks like a game over 10 years ago with obsolete graphics even for that era!), it runs even worse. And it's repetitive (not as bad as Deathloop, but close). For Single Players absolutely don't get this not even on sale. Don't waste your time on Gamepass either. For multi players you can bump the rating up to a 2, but wait till it's on sale

    For $70 you get slide shows instead of cinematics, AI that doesn't work, assets that have the wrong proportions (hands!)! and an empty game world. Textures are in 2D in a distance and only become 3D objects at a (very) close distance. The shooting isn't really good either, especially since the enemy AI is braindead and you can literally walk up to enemies and one-shot them with a backstab (no sneaking required). Some enemies can't get around a vehicle and get stuck in an endless walking animation. Various items are highlighted with the prompt "press E" but are not usable in any way (such as small vehicles or even NPCs, this seems like some features were just cut last minute. Then there's the bland cliche Player characters, one of whom is in student debt (really???) and generic sniper. Side Quests are simple fetch quests that are boring as hell. Everything you do and see in this game you've done and seen hundreds of times before.
    I've seen Indie games of MUCH better quality! This is triple A in name (and price) only.

Feels like they had no concept/idea or real 'hook' before starting development on this game. Here is hoping that the next outing is just MUCH better than this.

    Went in with the expectation that the game would be terrible. Played using game pass so it was essentially free except the 40 minutes that I'd rather have back in my life.

    Firstly, none of the character designs were engaging -- literally the first time I looked up what character to use on Google rather than going with what my gut told me, so I played Dev. Mind you, I only played up

    Mind you, I only played up until the first vampire at which I stopped playing because I was asking myself why I should keep playing, because the game gives you no connection to your character and by extension no connection to the plot. The first cut-scene is entirely unrelated to you or your character.

    I also don't understand what the music is trying to express at any point. The level up sound is a trap beat that lasts for too long and conveys nothing to me as a player. Unnecessary.

    Just don't, not even if you want to experience it for yourself. Maybe Bethesda will let Arkane fix this pile, or not

    What a bummer. There's obviously a ton of artistic creativity and design passion visible in the world-space/environment... but that's about where things stop.

There are far too many problems bogging down Redfall to name here in a brief review (nobody will read)... but there is a slim chance... a glimmer of hope really... that this games most serious shortcoming could be resolved, and there's and even smaller chance the game could be good someday. In the meantime... the world space is fun enough to just romp around in once with Game Pass, or another subscription. I wouldn't pay $70 for this game... let alone $100+ for a premium version with a bunch of totally unnecessary cosmetics. I will say this: It's pretty obvious the game was going to have some kind of MTX or battle passes or something... it has that kind of a stink on it... which is really bizarre since... that's the not the game that was released. If you choose to go into Redfall... do so with the lowest possible expectations, that way you will be surprised by some of the nice set pieces and slightly more glowing moments. Expand

    Nothing much to comment here. -1 for dead dull boring world, -1 for completely no interactive elements and no physics in an open-world game, -1 - is there a story and music here, any characters with developing story and believable backgroud?

    Classic empty-world game. Maybe with a few patches they can fix some AI problems, but the game looks dull a it's core. World feels empty and not because NPCs, props are poorly placed. Everything seems to be out of scale when it comes to size, gameplay mechanics are not THAT bad, but still don't compensate for a boring game.

    Definitely DO NOT BUY this game AT FULL PRICE.

    Stay away from this disastrous barely finished and though of game. The gameplay will just make you wish to gather up your buddies and go back to playing Left 4 Dead. There's barely any story (the writer's weren't even trying) and the game is a broken mess with barely any saving qualities (maybe the music is ok?) Avoid at all cost, Arkane has fallen.

    Outside of just the general concept, which even then is so thin in the actual game, Redfall is a extremely bland and underwhelming output from Microsoft and Bethesda. The world feels empty and uninspired, enemies are few and far between and poorly balanced.

    Mindless mission with low budget slideshows cut scenes instead of proper cinematic animated cut scenes that they introduced to us in the trailers. With so many mission breaking bug, sometimes unable to crouch and display / UI glitches that obstructed gameplay and ruining experiences requiring players to resetting the game never mind the occasionally crashes.

And what interesting without this bugs game will stay OK and it perfect word to describe this game it kinda enjoyable and nothing more, game doesn't contain anything that can be eye catching or memorized. Yeah its co op open world but it feels kinda empty for it size and it really not so big. weapon system is also kinda strange some weapons has sub stats that can improve it stats but game doesn't show the base stats so message as increasing acc by 10% is kinda meaningless. Plot is also interest part of this game i mean it interest that devs also decide to save some money on cutscenes so it static pictures with copyright free music (at least it feels like it actually free). furthermore structure of the game looks like developers want to artificially stretch the playing time by make system like: open shelter, kill 3 minor boss to be able to kill mid level boss after you can do the same thing two more times and only after it you be able to kill final boss that actually can be killed by pressing F button 3 times. So who can enjoy this game ? probably someone who has gamepass to play it cheaper than 70$ and that person already completed every game on his list and just want to skip two evenings with his friend.for everyone else i don't think it that experience that expect player that saw "from the creator of dishonored and prey" in every trailer and price in 70$.

Writings litter the grounds, ammo and resources are easily replenished at the home base, the level design accommodates all players. I was shocked how very little the game asked of me to be creative, to find my own solution, to bring in my own tactics. I was raised in a household where I finished my plate, so I stubbornly pushed through to the end.

    I sincerely hope this doesn't drain any more resources from Arkane Austin and that they're given the green light to pursue another single-player, deliberately measured experience that welcomes and encourages player creativity and ingenuity to navigate its playspaces and engage with its obstacles.

    What the authors lacked to be above average was the courage to stand up with full force for something unexpected. They could have taken inspiration from their colleagues from the French branch of Arkane, who came up with Deathloop. Redfall is an unpleasant reminder that talents and creativity run out with time.

    Redfall is a major disappointment from a well-established studio that brought us the hit Dishonored. While I expected an immersive sim that would build on the phenomenal foundations of their previous games, I got a cookie-cutter looter shooter with an empty world, a non-existent story and very little fun. With the steep price attached to this title, I would not recommend it even with a fat discount.

    I wanted desperately to find a good game underneath all the bugs in Redfall, and every now and then a tiny ray of light would shine through and give me hope. I took my time to give it a fair opportunity where others wrote it off only a few hours in. Unfortunately, they were right, and this will go down as one of the more disappointing games that I’ve played in recent years. All we can hope for now is that Redfall’s disastrous journey serves as a warning to Microsoft and its stable of development studios. Not because the world’s second-largest company can’t take the hits, but because players deserve better.
