    Redfall is an open-world shooter where you can creep through a spooky mansion alone at night, then link up with some friends to take on a giga-vampire in another dimension. It's weird, and it's the right kind of weird.

    It's a bit difficult to parse out the overall quality of Redfall. If you're talking about it from a technical perspective, it's scattershot but comes out better than some games that look and sound pretty but have terrible performance. If you're looking at it from a story perspective, it's a slow burn that cranks up things once you get close to beating the first major vampire, and the same can be said for the gameplay. Solo play is also better than co-op, based solely on the issues we ran into with connectivity, but mileage can vary. Overall, Redfall asks quite a bit of time from players before getting really good, which makes it perfect for Game Pass but tougher for those who don't have the patience to spend the time to wade through the jank to reach that point.

    Redfall is a hodgepodge of influences that fails to excel in the many categories it aims for. Far from being uninteresting, in particular thanks to a quality level design and cogs that fit together rather well in its main systems, the title of Arkane Austin is disappointing compared to the pedigree of the studio. Unlike Prey, the game design is not brilliant or original, but in return, the app is surely the most accessible game imagined by Harvey Smith. This adventure to be lived in co-op, featuring vampires who have managed to hide the sun, is to be tested with friends thanks to the Game Pass before it is overshadowed by other outings. Bethesda's action game will divide, but not rule.

    Not even awesome vampires and world design can redeem Redfall's repetitive gameplay, which becomes progressively more monotonous the longer you play.

    Looking at the world of Redfall, I become sad by its wasted potential. For every great location, there are a handful of forgettable ones. The result is an empty-feeling game with several puzzling problems, like a lack of proper stealth takedowns, a tedious quest and waypoint system, and the inability to pause gameplay in single-player mode. Rampant technical issues hinder brighter moments, including frequent server crashes during multiplayer, inputs failing to work, broken animations, and numerous other bugs that make playing Redfall a frustrating experience. For a game about fighting the undead, Redfall feels soulless in all the wrong ways.

    Redfall wants to be many things at once, but at the same time it can't be any.

    All of this is to say simply: Redfall is a bad video game. It's one that feels both underbaked and unfinished, releasing in a visually poor state loaded with bugs, lackluster gameplay and just a boring, empty world... I cannot recommend anyone spend time with Redfall, especially with Microsoft charging $70 for the title on Xbox or PC, and even on Game Pass I'd recommend simply playing Arkane's other titles like Dishonored or Prey.

    Needs difficulty updates, 30fps, less aggressive motion blur out of the box, and a little aim assist on controller.

    Story and production value is great, missions are fun, upgrades and looting/currency are good and encourage exploration of a very detailed hand crafted world.

    Amazing bones just needs a couple of patches to be worth $70.    … Expand

No major bugs, just occasional clipping and a couple of DCs. Looks good, atmospheric, is reasonably good fun to play. Some elements of Far Cry, some of Borderlands, lots of looting like in Warzone. Like in Far Cry 6, the enemies are not especially challenging - AI could use some tweaking. Ignore the haters bandwagon, it may not be the best game ever but I'd say it's a solid FPS that's more about fun than challenge.

    EDIT:
    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.    … Expand

    But I downloaded game on console and pc and tried for few hours.
    No critical bugs, some problems with low quality textures somewhere.
    But the story i very poor. Vampires are almost the same, boooring. The same about the rest of enemies..
    I really expected something like outriders, darktide, vermintide or l4d/b4b.
    Here no citizens fighting with vampires, lack of various self-proclaimed bands, lack of fights between vampires and controlled be them servants, fanatics.. City is boooring so much.
    Why , the hell, they did open world: it is power consuming and game is so poor because of that. mentioned similar games are heaven better.
    Anyway if you like this graphic style, have a time you can try...but this is for sure game to play with friends.    … Expand
