    This game is absolute trash, the publisher wants a slap for releasing something so dross. Thankfully I got a refund on Steam for this steaming pile of garbage. I'm not going to go into detail as to what's wrong with it, I think the many in depth reviews do a good enough job of explaining how utterly trash this game is.

    Don't buy it.

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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    I'm actually sad about it.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

The story wasn't great and well... the enemies were a bit too easy. The AI would get stuck in places, and    When I first heard of Redfall, I was very excited about it.

    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.    … 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.
