    Redfall isn't an awful game, it's just distinctly not good. Unfortunately bugs and extremely high CPU requirements to maintain 60fps make this an unpleasant overall experience. Not helped by the fact that key rebinding in the game is broken, a number of functions will not work correctly if rebound.

    I don’t understand what’s been happening with the developers lately, with such a simple graphics, only 30 fps, the shooting is disgusting, as if I’ve returned to the Xbox one days, I’m already ready to buy pro versions of consoles, because I feel it will only get worse.

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$.

    Redfall describes the interests of young gamers today.

    Live Services Co-op multiplayer with no quality that no one cares about in a year because the next game is out.
    Soulless and a disgrace to the art developers show with gaming. I give 4 points here because you can actually turn off your head and have fun. However, I don't recommend it if your expectations of a game are emotionally high.

    Cómo diablos después de deadloop tengamos un juego...super roto.
    Sin pies ni cabeza.
    Me parece sorprendente..que con tanta inversión en el estudio no tengan un test..antes de sacar el juego.

    Was excited for this game because I love Bethesda and Arkane games. The ai is absolutely horrible, like, worse than the ones from the usual bethesda games. Another thing i hate is that your friends can not progress when in coop, unless they are the host. stupid decision and i don’t even know why it was made like that because it makes coop less interesting and engaging

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

    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.

    A very below average co-op lootershooter which has some technical issues at launch (although I think I had a better time of it than some). If I'd paid money for this then I'd be wanting it back, as it is Gamepass made it just a waste of my time to try.

    The main issues for me were that for a lootershooter the loot available quickly loses any incentive and the shooting is never exciting.

    The main issues for me were that for a lootershooter the loot available quickly loses any incentive and the shooting is never exciting. The gameplay loop got stale very, very quickly. Poor combat, poor AI, no real sense of exploration, a nagging feeling that the open world has gone from trying to create jump scares into just sterile emptiness, weird design decisions on multiplayer (only host progresses, really? It's 2023), and then layer on animation glitches and other engine streaming hiccups and occasional stuttering... My goodwill evaporated rather quickly.

    Strengths are the little story telling moments within the world, but these are so smothered by having to design around a co-op looter shooter, and that there are moments of fun to be found with a friend in combining skills traversing and clearing areas. It's not a lot to hold up even a dozen or so hours of play.

    Not the worst game I've ever played but not one I'll be returning to at any point either.

    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.

    Grafisch gesehen waren ihre Games nie die Oberliga, aber der Stil passte zum jeweiligen Game, hässlich waren sie nie. Aber dennoch war da immer das Gameplay, welches alles wieder ausgeglichen hat.

    Doch Redfall versagt auf allen Linien für mich.

    Grafisch ist es grottig, selbst bei maximalen Details. Stellenweise sogar schlechter als "Dishonored 2". Was für mich nicht schlimm wäre (Gameplay > Grafik). Aber das Gameplay ist ebenso schwach.

    - Das Gunplay fühlt sich nicht gut an. Gegner sind meist Bulletsponges und typische "RPG-Like" Abschüsse mit HP-Balken - Nicht so schlimm, wie in Fallout (hier sind Headshots zumindest bei den meisten Twinks insta-Kill), aber dennoch nervig. Den meisten Waffen fehlt die Wucht.

    - Die Open World ist langweilig. Zu 90% der Zeit läuft man durch leere, tote Landschaften, hin und wieder plättet man eine Gegner-Gruppe oder findet die ein oder andere kleine Notiz. Der selbe Schwachsinn wie bei "Generation Zero". Ja, es ist keine typische "Kazillion-Fragezeichen-Türme-Erkletter-Ubisoft-Welt", aber ganz leer sollte diese auch nicht sein.

    - Die Story kann absolut nicht mitreißen.

    - Die Fähigkeiten sind ganz cool, aber pro Charakter zu wenige, um wirklich coole Builds zu ermöglichen; Mir fehlt die Freiheit, wie bei Dishonored.

    - Laut Arkane im Solo spielbar, ist es dennoch spürbar auf Ko-op ausgerichtet. Zu oft begegnet man Gegner-Gruppen, die für einen Spieler alleine zu viel sind; viel zu viele Mechaniken behindern einen Solo-Run einfach nur,

    Stand jetzt fühlt sich das Game für mich wie ein stark heruntergebrochener Loot-Shooter an, wie eine BETA von einem Destiny-Klon., nein, eher sogar wie eine Alpha davon.

    Und besonders enttäuscht mich dabei, dass ich von Arkane besseres gewohnt bin.

    Wie kann es sein, dass das Game grafisch schlechter aussieht, als Deathloop, welches 2 Jahre vorher erschien?

    Wieso übernimmt Arkane nicht alte Stärken aus Prey, Deathloop und Dishonored und macht stattdessen so ein aus der Zeit gefallenes 08/15 Loot-Shooter-Ding draus?

    Bin nur froh, es nicht GEKAUFT zu haben, sondern über den Gamepass zu spielen. Werde es aber vermutlich zeitnah wieder deinstallieren - Spaß macht es mir nicht wirklich.

    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.

Value your time more and do something else. The worst game of the year, which is incredible as the latest Settlers game was released the other month and to be worse than that is some going.

    Con's

    Poor performance
    A lot of bugs and issues
    Weak gunplay
    Multiplayer options are halfbaked

    Redfall is the prime example of being seriously underbaked, its got performance issues even with the latest game ready drivers I was getting graphical stuttering on my 3070 in places and before updating the drivers the game was near unplayable.

    The game is also exceptionally buggy, I found many graphical glitches and issues all over the place - one of the more annoying ones that literally prevents you from getting loot is that you must disable traps and collect loot before heading back to the fire house because when you return and head back out, the world basically regenerates so prime example, in one of the first houses there are two laser trip wires and a loot safe, if you disable one of the trip wires and head back to the safe house to get more rewire tools, the laser trip will regenerate but it'll become broken so you cannot rewire it and thus instantly kill you if you try to cross to the chest again, I'm guessing this issue could be entirely game breaking too deeper into progression with any traps/doors becoming untargetable after picking/rewiring and then heading back to the safe house and the world regenerates.

    Gunplay is weak and unsatisfying, feels very rigid and has no stealth kill system so sneaking up to hollow cultists for a stealth kill is entirely useless, so the stealth system really doesn't have that much point at all, might as well just gun down everything providing you have enough bullets.

    Graphic wise, its okay - nothing special but does feel a bit dated and cartoony, reminds me of Fallout 76 in some ways so I'm thinking, it quite possibly could be using the same engine.

    In closing, Redfall misses the market entirely and needed another 6 months or longer in the oven before I'd say its even remotely ready for market, its got too many issues out of the gate - Multiplayer is useless with no progression except for the host.

    This is simply unacceptable...

    Already have had 5 crashes, and instances where I've loaded into a session with no game audio. Numerous bugs/glitches, mind numbing A.I and constant frame dips and pop-in textures. It's hard to believe this game was made by the same studio that gave us Prey and Dishonored...yet another beloved studios reputation going up in flames...

    Redfall es el ejemplo perfecto de cómo no se debe sacar un juego. DRM obligatorio, Denuvo, Requisitos elevados injustificadamente, gráficos desfasados y carente de detalle, framerate totalmente inestable por lo que el juego está roto, repetitivo a más no poder…. Le doy un 2 por el doblaje que considero que sí está a bien. Todo lo demás es un desastre, es que ni la historia engancha.

    Playing this feels to me like Arcane came out with the world and characters put it all together and showed it off telling management this is the base idea and we will sort out the story and missions after the fact we just wanted to give you a Pre-Pre-Alpha look at what we wanted to make next and then totally forgot to write the rest of the story and plot points.

The missions and side content the infiltration and mystique. Coming from someone that has been a Hardcore Arcane fan since playing Dishonored on the Xbox 360 and have been playing everything since.

    It is heartbreaking to see a game that feels like it should have been their first outing where they learned all of their mistakes and would build up to Dishonored and Prey. However unfortunately that is not the case. While playing you even feel that it is a freshman outing as the graphics are worse than Dishonored and it came out in 2012.

    I haven't quite completed it yet but with as easy as the AI is to fool that shouldn't take long as I am using the same stealth approaches I used in the previous games and I can pretty much take out all the humans and then clean up the vampires without much more than an occasional Yellow question mark.

So the game; graphics and performance= awful. People always try to say “it’s an art style!” With Arkane which is usually is; this however is just plain and nasty. The most boring open world I’ve played an I’ve played some bad ones, doesn’t make you want to explore, it’s a chore moving across the map. Everything feels flat and uninteresting, which is insane considering how good Dishonoured and Prey still look to this day. I don’t understand how they can make a game that looks worse than previous gen titles.

    The performance, get some frame drops here and there and their seems to be some latency input no matter what I do, then sprinkle in all of the bugs I’ve experienced in 6 hours of playing (guns disappearing, enemies moving/freezing like they’re cardboard cutouts, sniper scope getting stuck on my screen even though I’m using other guns etc.) it’s honestly quite outstanding how bad this game is and the fact it’s been put out. To anyone finding even a slither of enjoyment in this; I salute you. But do not kid yourself or others that this is even close to half-decent gaming experience, an quit trying to boost review numbers for a game that’s awful. You only make things worse by defending these studios that release games as bad as this, allowing more and more studios to do the same. Enough is enough with these awful games getting released what feels like years before it should.

    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.

But Redfall is a failure in every metric. Xbox needs to sort out these studios they acquire. Half have taken paid holidays and the other half just churn out whatever experimental crap that takes low effort. I bought my xbox for back compat and they cancelled that so the least they could do is care about First party titles.

    The game utilizes 17GB of VRAM at 1440p with DLSS. I was shocked to see that this game was reaching the VRAM limit of my desktop 4090, I tried lowering the graphics from Ultra to High but that didn't change a single thing, and left me wondering if there is a memory leak somewhere in the game that is causing this. Because I for sure am not seeing amazing visuals for that utilization, a game like Tomb Raider 2013 or even Titanfall 2 looks a lot better than this.

    Gameplay is very mediocre and boring, sure the premise of the game is to run around and defeat vampires but it gets super tedious in the long run. Another thing I dislike is how most of the weapons feel and fire the same way, yes the amount of damage each gun would do is different but the feel of using them in-game is just the same across. The story is meh as well, I only played for 2-3 hrs so can't give a concise answer on that front but it doesn't seem to be interesting.

    Overall I would not recommend anyone pay $70 for this game, let alone not get GamePass just for this game. This is one title that should be skipped

    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.

    RedFall Review

    Rating: ★★☆☆☆

    RedFall, the highly anticipated game from a renowned studio, falls far short of expectations, failing to deliver an engaging and immersive experience. From its lackluster gameplay mechanics to its uninspired world design, this game left me feeling bored and unenthused.

    One of the biggest letdowns of RedFall is its gameplay. While the concept of battling vampires in an open-world setting sounded intriguing, the execution falls flat. The combat mechanics are repetitive and lack depth, with a limited variety of weapons and abilities that quickly become tiresome. The enemy AI is disappointingly simplistic, making encounters predictable and lacking any real challenge. It's a shame that a game centered around vampire slaying fails to create thrilling and intense gameplay moments.

    Moreover, the open-world design feels lifeless and uninteresting. The game world lacks meaningful exploration and fails to offer engaging side quests or activities to keep players invested. The environments lack variety and fail to captivate the imagination, resulting in a world that feels bland and forgettable.

    The narrative is another area where RedFall disappoints. The story fails to grip the player's attention or create a sense of urgency. The characters are poorly developed, lacking depth and relatability. The dialogue often falls into clichés and fails to evoke any emotional investment. It feels like a missed opportunity to create an immersive and compelling narrative within the vampire genre.

    Technical issues also plague RedFall. The game suffers from frequent glitches and performance problems, including frame rate drops and long loading times. These issues significantly hinder the overall experience and detract from any enjoyment that could have been found within the game.

    Furthermore, the multiplayer aspect, which was meant to be a highlight of RedFall, is underwhelming. The cooperative gameplay lacks innovation and fails to offer anything truly unique or exciting. It feels like a missed opportunity to create an engaging multiplayer experience that could have added replay value to an otherwise lackluster game .

    In conclusion, RedFall fails to live up to its potential, offering a dull and unremarkable gaming experience. The lackluster gameplay mechanics, uninspired world design, and underdeveloped narrative make for a forgettable game that fails to capture the imagination. Save your time and money and look elsewhere for a more engaging and enjoyable gaming experience .

I saw a review of redfall somewhere and I 100% agree and was like: “redfall: Good enough for game pass” I saw that Phil Spencer play redfall 3 days ago and for just 37 minutes, thats says a lot of the State of Xbox. In my honest opinion they cant delay Starfield because they delayed 2 time already but i cant either launch it like redfall was. If starfield fails and i think that will be the case Phil Spencer needs to leave xbox immediately. He fail the deal with activision and he will (more like microsoft will) pay 3 billion fine and thats the same that Sony pay for bungie. Expand

    Teknik olarak bu grafiklere sahip bir oyunda bu derece stutter ve fps düşüsü beklemiyordum.
    Hikayesi ilk önce güzel gibi geliyor fakat 70 dolar yani AAA fiyatına sahip bir oyunda sinematiklerin animasyon, realtime render yerine resimli slayt gösteri olması sadece komik. Yapay zeka yok, düşmanlar siz saldırın diye bekliyorlar. Oyuncuya sundukları 4 karakter çok kötü, sanki daha iyi

    I don't know why it was made, it's a terrible game, it's poorly optimized, it's terrible workmanship, go away.

    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.

    Why are people surprised of any of this? It already was terrible back when they showed it at the E3.
    I'm just glad i got to play this without paying a single cent. It's awful beyond words, but i guess that's exactly what happens when you hire based on diversity quota instead of talents.

    The AI is pretty much what you’d expect from a PS1 game, in 2023 AI without pathing isn’t an issue, it’s a complete joke. The game is janky, gun play isn’t bad, but it’s just a pitiful mess and a splotch on Arkane’s otherwise impressive portfolio. Technical issues as well from another game but from an MS studio it feels extra weird.

    Go woke. Go broke.

    WIll they ever learn? I doubt it.

    Let's just hope Starfield doesn't release in such a state. Otherwise, it's the end of Bethesda.

    Arkane could’ve just worked on Dishonored 3, but instead we got this generic, boring, ugly and buggy game. Waste of my time, no wasted money thanks to gamepass.

    The game is simply not ready for release. From lacking AI to a total feeling of emptyness when it comes to its world, characters, gameplay...

    The idea can be good and the game might not end being bad forever but this needs patching and a lot of work if they still care for this one.

    Dear Microsoft, you've bought so many studios now and this is what you have to show for? This is an absolute disgrace, This is deplorable, we just keep getting awful stuff like this and if we don't take a stand by not buying and even less not preordering games then we won't be going in the right direction, as of now we're very near an abyss, we've become beta testers that pay $70 to betaDear Microsoft, you've bought so many studios now and this is what you have to show for? This is an absolute disgrace, This is deplorable, we just keep getting awful stuff like this and if we don't take a stand by not buying and even less not preordering games then we won't be going in the right direction, as of now we're very near an abyss, we've become beta testers that pay $70 to beta test games instead of the company actually paying us to test their product. Microsoft, Bethesda, Arkane, Sony with thir TLoU pc port, now I feel this is the trend, this is the downfall of the AAA industry, but they need to fall if we want change, that won't happen since most people have such low standards now and just keep paying for awful products, FIFA anyone? I am just grateful that we have the indie gaming industry which has kept me from losing faith in gaming.

    PS. Please just make wholesome singleplayer games, I can't believe this abomination is from the same people that made Prey and Dishonored some of the best games. Bethesda I hope you get your things together with Starfield because if you don't after that I think you're done as a first party developer. I feel cheated, just stick with third parties if you can't be bothered with QA in your games, thank you! - A very disappointed but not surprised gamepass ultimate subscriber.

    Worst game of all time from a AAA studio. Graphics, controls, compatibility with hardware, AI, boring gameplay loop, lack of story, lack of cutscenes, no way to join coop sessions without someone you know, interface consumes the whole screen, asset flips, terrain clipping models, tons of t posing and way more. There is no reason this game should have ever been released.

    This game had an interesting premise and all the tools at it's disposal to be great. Instead, it was terrible and no one liked it. This is due to obvious reasons, like the fact that the AI is complete garbage and the game just looks bad. It's not "bad graphics," there are plenty of games from the 90s that look beautiful and don't have modern graphics.

    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.
