    This looked fantastic at its reveal. Fun, Co op is always a plus. But over time, the more that got revealed, the worse it looked. The playing experience just isn't what I expected at all. Rushed experience.

    I went into this really looking forward to it after enjoying Deathloop.

    It’s actually shocking how much I’m disappointed. Total lack of anything fun to do really. Awful AI, all fights just seem to be the exact same, zero cutscenes and a totally forgettable world.

    Boring, soulless and broken. The terrible performance or buggy AI isn't even the worst thing about this game. It's just not fun to play, story is told through a powerpoint slideshow. Gunplay is average at best. And nothing you do in this game feels rewarding. Just more gamepass fodder unfortunately...

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    hässliche Grafik, ungenaue Steuerung, dumme KI, langweilige Gameplay-Schleife, fehlende Story, fehlende Zwischensequenzen, keine Möglichkeit, ohne jemanden, den Sie kennen, an Koop-Sitzungen teilzunehmen. Terrain-Clipping-Modelle, jede Menge Posen und noch viel mehr. Es gibt keinen Grund, jemandem dieses Spiel jemals jemals zu empfehlen!

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.    … Expand

    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 .    … Expand

    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.
