    Basura pura de la buena. Microsoft debe empezar a echar gente de Xbox porque esto es un fracaso tras otro fracaso. Es demencial.

    Another one of those "release broken, fix later" type of games. You can take this game and shove it all the way up your a.

    Welp I won't lie by saying that the first time we saw the game being revealed, nobody was thinking this would be GOTY material. Still, Arkane Studios produced amazing games, even if none were 10 out of 10 (at least in my opinion). So let's start with this.

Still, Arkane Studios produced amazing games, even if none were 10 out of 10 (at least in my opinion). So let's start with this. First of all, I've refunded the game within the two hours I played it on Steam for a few reasons. Trying to play with a friend was a nightmare, not the one sold by the studio's sales pitches. Being disconnected on both sides, being logged out from the Arkane server, and the game simply crashing. When we manage to play for a little bit, we've met some of the wonkiest IA that even The Elder Scrolls couldn't fight for the crown. Either they just didn't bother attacking us, they ended up being iddle while being killed, or, worst scenario, they got stuck in an unkillable death loop (hehe, see the pun?) Sorry). The NPC weren't any better when it was possible to see them or when they weren't trying to intimidate us while t-posing. The last thing that bothered us (at least me) was that we ended up in his game and noticed that he was the only one being able to progress his save (MAJOR BUZZ KILL).

    So yeah, I went to look forward to playing at being horribly disappointed and lacking any faith when this was supposed to be a finished product that was pushed back to make sure everything was fine. It could have easily been released a year after the release today, and maybe, just maybe, it would have been a great game with the signature of Arkane magic. Clearly, this time the only magical moment I encountered was the moment my refund was allowed right away via Steam refund. All I can say is that not being able to play the game without issues every 5–10 minutes makes it impossible to review and even give a point to this. Arkane Studios (or Microsoft, I don't care who to blame TBH) deserve that massive L from the players to understand that releasing a product in such poor condition is not acceptable today, no matter if the game can be rented via Game Pass (which I love being a sub for from time to time) or paid the full price (like I did since I love to own my game). We have so many options today, from F2P games that are sometimes better than AAA games to indies to obviously major releases from big box stores, so how the hell did they think this was something that people wouldn't hold on to? Welp, this deserves a big zero, and I sure hope they'll move forward and fix the games with at least an apology to people who wanted to support them and enjoy a brand new IP. This will most likely be their last attempt at creating a brand new game. I have that feeling.

    Con's

    Horrible optimisation (even with a 11700k and RTX3080)
    Always online
    No private server
    Keep crashing.
    server not being able to handle solo or co-op
    Outdated graphics (not having a unique style like previous games)
    Wonkiest AI since The Elder Scrolls
    Graphics glitch: removing all textures of friends in coop, of the NPCs, and of the enemies
    AI is 100% broken at random times (not moving, not seeing us in front of them, etc.).
    NPCs are straight-up death-looking people from A Nightmare on Elm Street (hi Freddy).
    Gameplay being generic (but not horrible)
    Else... (and there are a lot of them)

    Pro's

    Initial pitch: "I'm a sucker for vampires (sorry for the last bad pun).
    Abilities seem fun when working.
    The open world is pretty generous.
    Else? (I couldn't find more positive things to say.)    … Expand

    Arkane should be ashamed of themselves. No way the same development team that made the great Dishonored made this heaping pile of **** Awful A.I., bad graphics, empty world, and boring gunplay combine to make a mid game into an awful game. Hell, it looks akin to something from Creative 2.0 in Fortnite, and that's not a good thing.

I have run into several instances where I have clipped through textures in the environment, and I have also experienced some painful slowdown on my PC just when playing through the game. The game is terribly optimized, and the framerate is constantly chugging in just about every situation. This feels more like a choppy Xbox One game from 2014 than a complete "AAA" game from 2023. This game is unfinished. Avoid it at all costs and demand better.… Expand

    Das schlechteste Spiel aller Zeiten!
    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!

    At first I was looking towards to this game until I saw that Bethesda was owned by xbox. Xbox has always been known to make the worst games in the industry but I thought that this would’ve been better. Good thing for that free trial I had or I wouldn’t have given it a chance.

    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, I've been contemplating about still having gamepass subscription or to cancel, and redfall hit the nail on the coffin to cancel my gamepass subscription Phil Spencer needs to get fired now, he has dragged Xbox as a whole to the ground.

    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.
