    Redout: Space Assault dabbles in numerous space shooter concepts but doesn't strike a chord with any of them.

    The original Redout may not have been the best racing game out there, but it did have a lot of heart and felt like a continuation of the long dormant F-Zero franchise. Redout: Space Assault on the other hand tries to enter a well-worn genre but provides nothing new or interesting to keep players engaged. Those who were looking for the next Star Fox will be better suited looking somewhere other than Redout: Space Assault, but it's a playable entry into a genre that plenty of invested fans are constantly looking for more titles in, so it's still got a place among diehard players.

    Don't be fooled by the impressive visuals. This dated and deeply unsatisfying arcade shooter manages to make space combat feel flimsy, boring and anything but immersive. Perhaps on a mobile phone, its limitations can be overlooked but on a console it's not worth bothering with.

    Welp, if you're a huge Starfox 64 fan you could spend $10 and an afternoon in worse ways. But even as a budget title, this game will haveWelp, if you're a huge Starfox 64 fan you could spend $10 and an afternoon in worse ways. But even as a budget title, this game will have most scratching their heads with some perplexingly bad elements and more than one crises of identity. The game can't decide if it wants to be on-rails or free-flying. The game can't decide if it had tight, satisfying controls or loose, unresponsive ones. The game can't decide if it has several repetitive missions or complex missions. Problems like this hold the game back throughout, so that soon after the initial promise wears off it becomes a bit of a slog to complete. Probably still worth the time and money if you're forgiving.… Full Review »
