May 2, 2023I 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. -
Aug 14, 2023Totally 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.
-
May 5, 2023Worst optimization of any game I've ever played. My RTX 3080 Ti doesn't work hard even in 4K.
-
May 8, 2023Outside 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.

May 3, 2023This 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... -
May 2, 2023Redfall 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.

May 30, 2023Horrible game with generic graphics generic gameplay generic story everything is very bad
-
Aug 20, 2023I am pretty into this sort of game and this developer and I honestly could not find many qualities about it I did like. The story was not terribly interesting, the gameplay is quite bad and the game was very buggy.

May 2, 2023The worse Microsoft game ever Arcane is one of my favourite game company but Microsoft failed them by purchasing it. The game is buggy, laggy and enemy AI is worse then i ever witnessed in my life i hope they learn from this.
-
May 2, 2023Best thing to do in this game is hit that refund button. Thank God it's refundable.
-
May 3, 2023The game is as generic as possible. The gun-feel is not existent, the multiplayer is in fact a coop based on the host campaign, but doesn't affect the campaigns or other group members...
For a long awaited release, I am very disappointed -

May 7, 2023The marketing push for this game, and initial impressions from media outlets put this game on my radar, however that can't be further from the truth. GOTY (garbage of the year)

May 11, 2023Bad choices were made in the making of this game. Its another one to skip in 2023.

Jun 18, 2023The disaster was imminent and obvious from the first time it was revealed...

Jun 4, 2023A real sadness in it's current state. :/ oh well.
Your review must be at least 75 characters long. -
May 3, 2023After playing it for 10 hours I can't recommend that game to anyone, especially not for 70€. The world is empty and uncreative. Enemy AI is so bad and easy to beat. Weapon handling feels not developed at all. The class skills are so bland.
-
May 2, 2023Only getting a 1 from me because it does run well on my PC. Other than that, no redeeming qualities.
-
May 10, 2023I don't always smirk at nuArkane decline enablers for deliberately falling from grace in a most deplorable fashion...
No, wait. I actually do. -

Jul 12, 2023Leave it to Microsoft to destroy studios. The game is unplayable and enemies are so dumb that they most of the time just stand there doing nothing. Thrash!!!
-
May 3, 2023Horrible. Ill never preorder a game ever again. Arcane should be ashamed to release a game in this state. Buggy, brain dead ai and boring
-
May 4, 2023Não sei como uma empresa tem coragem de lançar um jogo tão ridículo como este. Game feito por criança, cartunado, história nada a ver com nada, personagem com cara de débio-mental. Horrivel. Tudo que é de graça é uma porcaria. O pior é ter que pagar para um lixo desse. Vergonha

May 3, 2023Simply ridiculous what has been delivered here, just as ridiculous as what Microsoft is doing with its studios. Arkane could probably do it better, but they seem to be declining under Microsoft. However, in its current state, it's probably good enough for Microsoft to shove it into the Gamepass. Microsoft and the Gamepass are a curse for the gaming world.
-
May 3, 2023
-
May 4, 2023Even if I installed the much larger version for PC for all the extra frames the game performs badly. As for the game itself, it feels bland and boring, like a duck hunt with vampires, but with boring characters.
-

-
Sep 8, 2023I 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. -
Jun 8, 2023El juego es vergonzoso, hasta en un pc de gama alta actual no es capad de mantener unos fps estables y siempre oscilan entre dos valores bastante alejados. La historia es bastante mediocre y la jugabilidad aburrida .
-
May 4, 2023Jeu mauvais et inutile qui date de 2007.
Comment un studio comme Arkane à pu pondre pareil daube ...
En plus d'être mauvais le jeu n'ai pas terminer et manque clairement de plusieurs mois de dev. -

May 2, 2023Gioco totalmente pieno di problemi e uno tra tanti è non avere 60 fps al lancio.
Lo shooting è orribile e l’intelligenza artificiale è vergognosa, non riesco proprio a capire,come hanno potuto pubblicare il gioco cosi?senza controllarlo meglio! -
May 9, 2023Nothing 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? OMG, this a disaster. Shooting is good: if you press shoot it will land a shot on the enemy...
-
May 4, 2023I bought game on play keep freezing and the graphic bad terrible and story don’t make sense and I did decide and story don’t make sense refund get my money and not worth $70 and the worth $4 and lot problem and vampire crash all map can’t attack and and zombie can’t attack and whole game don’t make sense story and map too short and good day
-
May 3, 2023As a huge fan of the Dishonored games and Prey, I was really looking forward to this game. I even enjoyed Deathloop more than this game. It's just bland and performs very badly.
-
May 3, 2023Bad graphics, limited gameplay, uninteresting story. It even seems like a joke that Microsoft has let it get to this point, a total lack of respect. The game is garbage.

May 2, 2023C'est donc ça "l'année xbox" ? Franchement très déçu, j'attendais ce jeu impatiemment ayant adoré Deathloop. Mais le jeu n'est clairement pas fini. Des bugs de partout, l'IA qui n'en est pas une, gameplay très classique. Fin bref, un jeu à ne pas jouer en tout cas pas tout de suite, une grosse mise a jour s'impose, avec le 60fps en option serait cool.

May 3, 2023I really got no clue why Phil 30fps Spencer was thinking this was a great thing to release in that state, buggy, empty world, no cut scenes.. I Feel bad for the ppl who actually bought this game, one thing is i waisted 100 GB and power to download it on GamepASS its a completely different story to waits hard earned money on this trash game
-
Jun 1, 2023This game and don’t story make any sense and graphic is terrible and good thing refund money and good daY

Sep 7, 2023I don't know why it was made, it's a terrible game, it's poorly optimized, it's terrible workmanship, go away.
-
Sep 6, 2023It 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.
-
May 9, 2023Why 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.
Get woke, go broke. Buh bye! -
May 2, 2023The 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.
-
May 3, 2023Go 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. -
May 2, 2023Arkane 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.
-
May 3, 2023The 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. -
May 3, 2023
-
May 2, 2023Worst 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.

Jun 5, 2023arkane pushes more diversity and genderfluid crap but forgets to finish the game
update: game pushes mental illnesses rainbow crap on signs and flyers, brainwashing your kids. The score has been duly moved from 1 to zero. -
May 3, 2023Such a disappointment. Was really expecting much much more. Hopefully future Xbox games deliver higher quality
-

May 4, 2023This is the worst FPS ever made. The world is barren, the graphics suck, the story is a joke, its woke, and the game play is laughable.
-
May 4, 2023Its actually criminal that they are allowed to sell this game for 70 dollars insane. Why this game is still on steam with full price xD ?
-
May 6, 2023Anita Sarkeesian the game. Get woke, go exclusive... please. When the textures on the weapons in the character's hand has to pop in, you clearly did not care and still released an Early Access project as complete. The writing is Edgelord-pathetic, and the alphabet representation is all they cared about.
-
May 5, 2023A buggy game with ugly characters, graphics and npcs that stand around waiting for you to defeat them. Terrible.
-
May 4, 2023Fundamentally bad design and terrible performance. Game feels very empty and overall just lacking in so many areas.
-
May 3, 2023Please stop producing video games and their posters using AI. It is all soul-less and boring and obviously it all feels bland and indistinguishable among each other. AI may help you do it cheaper but nobody ain't buying this auto generated crap anymore. We want stuff made by humans with inspiration and creativity.
-
May 3, 2023Easy game to rate zero. It probably deserves a 3 but I’m dropping it to a zero to cancel out the 10s. The atmosphere is good. Everything else is hot garbage. You knew this would suck… and it sucks. I would skip this game.

May 4, 2023Rushed game with performance issues, bugs and bland environments. Huge input delay in gameplay. Story is forgettable. What a mess...
-
Jun 8, 2023Uninspired plot, uninspired hero shooter, bad gunplay, woke cast.
Should have been cancelled. -

May 3, 2023Redfall is a game that fails to impress. From the moment you start playing, you are immediately struck by how outdated it feels. The graphics are subpar, with textures that look like they belong in a game from a decade ago. The character models are clunky and lack detail, the animations are stilted and robotic and the AI is a shame compare to previous Arkane title.
It will just be forgotten. -
May 3, 2023Nach 10 Min wieder deinstalliert,was stimmt bei denen nicht einfach erbärmlich!
-
May 2, 2023Installed prior to release at 103gb. Went to launch on day one and the game had another 93gb update.
What the hell. -
May 4, 2023
-
May 2, 2023Even as a harsh critic it's no joy to call a corpse to attention, but this game has VERY little going for it. It boggles the mind that a co-op vampire shooter could be this bland but it really is that skippable
-
May 3, 2023Its actually criminal that they are allowed to sell this game for 70 dollars insane. Is this really the same company that made Dishonored and Deathloop? Did they go on strike or do this on purpose?
-
May 3, 2023It is a shame to release such a game in 2023 (not polished, barely fun) and charge 70$ for it
-
May 2, 2023Arkane have always been mid but Redfall is a new low for the studio and now Microsoft who were doing really bad in the gaming industry anyway.
-
May 5, 2023Worst game I played since forever, instant refund the game. Servers not working, only bugs, boring gameplay, ugly graphics. And this from such a big dev team and publisher? Seems like Bethesda is on a massive downfall
-
May 2, 2023Really hoped for a new arkane adventure,tht is really sad and disappointing thegme is very bad in every aspect I can’t believe that they are the same people behind dishonored and prey franchise
-
May 2, 2023I had extremely low expectations going in but it failed to even meet those. The opening set piece with the boat and the frozen water was interesting but after around 5 hours of broken and painful play I just uninstalled.
THIS IS NOT OKAY -
May 8, 2023Stay 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.
-
May 4, 2023It's a very bad game and it runs poorly. So disappointing for Arkane Studios.
-
May 2, 2023
-
May 5, 2023One of the worst shooters I've played in my life, an empty and repetitive world, gameplay from 15 years ago, the worst AI I've seen in many, many years, graphics that don't belong to this gen. It is very sad what Microsoft has done with Arkane
-
May 2, 2023This is a broken game, it should not even have been approved for release. Not to mention charging customers $70. This is criminal !
-
May 3, 2023FIRE PHIL SPENCER
THE FACT THEY WERE WILLING TO TAKE 70 BUCKS FROM PEOPLE FOR THIS??FIRE PHIL & SELL YOUR XBOX..I HAD BOTH SYSTEMS AND SOLD MY SERIES X IN JANUARY..DONT MISS IT A BIT -
May 2, 2023Getting a refund as soon as this gets posted!
Dont waste your time, or your hard earned money.
Mayor disappointed, game is full of glitches, horrible AI, game breaking bugs, crushes, disconnections.
Just save yourself the trouble, and ssd space, not worth the headache.
Will never buy another xbox branded game, ever again! -

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 23, 2024What 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. [Issue#327]
-
Jun 7, 2023Redfall 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.
-
May 31, 2023I 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.
