    The game really is as bad and buggy as the memes and videos suggest. I’m rating a 3, as there is some atmosphere and style here, which in a better game I might have enjoyed.

    Esto no es Arkane, es un juego genérico en early access que nos lo han colado. Tiene menos futuro que los coches del juego, que de dos disparos a la ventanilla explotan. No entiendo como han sacado esto así en series X, es increíble.

    I don’t understand what’s been happening with the developers lately, with such a simple graphics, only 30 fps, the shooting is disgusting, as if I’ve returned to the Xbox one days, I’m already ready to buy pro versions of consoles, because I feel it will only get worse.

    Microsoft better get their bleep together or they will be in some serious trouble. I’m cancelling my GP subscription and they will have to seriously earn back my trust to get me back as a subscriber bc this debacle of a game is unacceptable. How do you release a AAA game in this state after the Cyberpunk fiasco?! I know how I just hope they do.

    Redfall describes the interests of young gamers today.

    Live Services Co-op multiplayer with no quality that no one cares about in a year because the next game is out.
    Soulless and a disgrace to the art developers show with gaming. I give 4 points here because you can actually turn off your head and have fun. However, I don't recommend it if your expectations of a game are emotionally high.

    La anticipación en torno al lanzamiento de un videojuego a menudo moldea las expectativas de los jugadores.

No obstante, tras jugarlo, se revela que una tasa de fotogramas más baja puede no ser necesariamente perjudicial para la experiencia delLa anticipación en torno al lanzamiento de un videojuego a menudo moldea las expectativas de los jugadores. El caso de Redfall no fue la excepción, ya que su anuncio de un rendimiento de 30 fps generó una disminución significativa en las expectativas. No obstante, tras jugarlo, se revela que una tasa de fotogramas más baja puede no ser necesariamente perjudicial para la experiencia del juego. Aunque es crucial reconocer que en la actualidad, en el año 2023, la expectativa de los juegos en general se centra en alcanzar al menos 60 fps.

    Sumergiéndonos en el mundo de Redfall, surge un aspecto preocupante: la latencia en la carga de texturas. Aunque este problema no puede considerarse un error en sí mismo, resulta evidente que el tiempo de carga de texturas, que en algunos casos llega a los 20 segundos, afecta la calidad visual del juego. Este inconveniente se manifiesta de manera global, dando lugar a la presencia de imágenes borrosas en diversas áreas del juego, hasta que las texturas se cargan por completo. Se identifican elementos como la sangre, las marcas en el pavimento y ciertos logotipos, que resaltan como los más afectados por esta demora.

    La inteligencia artificial de los enemigos emerge como otro aspecto a analizar. Se revela que los adversarios carecen de agresividad y su comportamiento se caracteriza por su previsibilidad. La inadecuada configuración de la IA permite a los jugadores derrotarlos con facilidad y evadir sus ataques de manera casi trivial. La situación se agrava cuando los enemigos llegan a ignorar la presencia del jugador en medio de un enfrentamiento o cuando voltean la espalda en plena acción, lo que mina la inmersión y el desafío del juego. En este sentido, la representación de los enemigos vampiros resalta como un ejemplo destacado de la falta de procesamiento de información y reacción.

    La interacción con los personajes no jugables (NPC) y el protagonista escogido para la aventura también presenta dificultades. Los diálogos de los NPC resultan estáticos, carentes de expresión y, en ocasiones, desprovistos de coherencia. Asimismo, el personaje controlado por el jugador repite un número limitado de líneas, lo que da lugar a una sensación de monotonía y empobrece la conexión emocional con la trama. Esta limitación afecta negativamente la inmersión y el desarrollo de la narrativa.

    El componente inmersivo del juego se ve comprometido en varios niveles. A pesar de contar con detalles aparentemente realistas, como la posibilidad de activar grifos en los baños o la presencia de audiologs y notas en el mundo del juego, estos elementos no logran generar una sensación auténtica de interacción con el entorno. La ejecución de acciones como correr en el juego también resalta como un aspecto problemático, tanto en la perspectiva de primera persona como en el modo multijugador, donde los movimientos de los compañeros de equipo carecen de fluidez y naturalidad.

    La acumulación de deficiencias técnicas y de diseño empaña la experiencia de juego en Redfall. Los numerosos errores, la escasa diversión, la optimización insatisfactoria y el diseño frustrante convergen para desafiar la recomendación de participar en esta experiencia. A pesar de sus ambiciones, Redfall no logra cumplir con las expectativas de los jugadores, convirtiéndose en un ejemplo lamentable de juego cuyo impacto podría perdurar por sus limitaciones. En resumen, la presente obra no puede ser recomendada en vista de las múltiples carencias que la aquejan.    … Expand

    A great premise for a game with a nice hook to set up for some great co-op play. The set-up is let down by subpar visuals and woeful AI on the human cultists. There are still some texture streaming issues in the early parts of the game which should have been picked up in QA.
    These issues break any tension that I was expecting.

Unfortunately, Redfall falls short of achieving anything outside being a fantasy reskin of Far Cry.

    The gameplay itself is incredibly heartbreaking. From dummy AIs that, as individuals just stand there and require no real skill to take down, to boring vampire sequences that don't add much or build on a potentially really cool mechanic. You just fight safe house to safe house or retrieval missions, even in the story.

    The characters are lackluster which isn't helped by the lack of cutscenes. Rather, like the still images we get in the story, the characters are just copy and pasted stereotypes who, again, have much more potentially to be unique. Playsble characters don't feel much different from one another and their abilities are half- baked.

    I have heard that co-op is better, but lacks a reasonable progression system, however I've not played it.

    I can't justify keeping it on my console despite really hoping that a few patches or DLC can bring it back to life. This has been compared to Cyberpunk at its first released which, I didn't play at first, but when I did, I found it to be an incredible game. Here's hoping Redfall follows suit.

    It's not unplayable, but there are so many ideas and mechanics that needed some more time and thought put into them. The world is nice and fr didn't bother me, so no complaints there.    … Expand

Não existe nada no game que mereça elogio. O desempenho é ruim, a gameplay é ruim, os gráficos são ruins, a IA é ruim, a história é ruim, os npcs são ruins. Tive muitos crashes no Series S. Faltou não somente capricho, mas tb talento ao desenvolver o game, me parece um jogo feito por estagiários de curso online, sem verba. Parece inclusive um jogo feito com raiva, feito com má vontade, feito de qualquer jeito. Não se vê capricho e dedicação no game. Mesmo se o jogo fosse adiado por mais 1/2 anos para corrigir problemas técnicos, lançar com 60 fps, continuaria sendo um jogo ruim, pois nada é bem executado no game. É um jogo que não deu certo. Sem dúvidas esse é o pior jogo da Arkane e do Xbox, sendo pior até que crackdown 3. Enfim, é um jogo péssimo, que seria melhor que não existisse, deveria ter sido cancelado.… Expand

Glacially slow XP gain means that you don't feel that you're advancing in any way. Enemies can and will spawn either into walls or will just pop into existence directly behind you whenever they please. The gun visuals are so hilariously overdone it's actually kinda shocking: most guns look like they're either out of Borderlands, Tron, or Diablo. The only enemies that offer any kind of challenge are the vampires and they all behave the same way.

    Just an utter, complete mess. It's free on Games Pass and I still won't play it again. Maybe it's fun with friends (most things are) but playing solo the game's loop is so broken and unsatisfying it feels like punishment.    … Expand

    Just a defective game made by Arkane…

    It's incredibly disappointing that a once-great studio like Arkane has released such a weak game like Redfall.

    It's incredibly disappointing that a once-great studio like Arkane has released such a weak game like Redfall. It's unclear what kind of game they were trying to make, as none of its aspects work properly, whether you're playing solo or co-op.

    After playing for around 7 hours, I found the game to be extremely boring and reminiscent of low-budget titles found on subscription services. It seems to want to emulate an episode of the Far Cry series but falls far short, feeling more like Generation Zero than the luxurious open-world experiences created by Ubisoft (something I never expected to say).

    From a style perspective, the game isn't bad, but that's about all it has going for it. The open-world approach lacks activities, gunfight mechanics are weak, and there is a huge number of technical issues (framerate drops, blurry textures and a ton of bugs) as well as high input lag, which is inappropriate for FPS. The skill-tree is also lacking, among other issues.

    In conclusion, I would give Redfall a 3/10 just for its style. It's a shame to see such a talented studio produce such a lackluster product.    … Expand

    Although RedFall was a much anticipated game that doesn't hide the fact it came out half-baked. A bug fest, fps dipping, faulty Ai, and with a $70 price tag to add salt to the injury. Microsoft sent RedFall out to die without giving it a chance to shine.

    This game feels like a B game masquerading as a AAA game... very disappointing
    The game has potential if they fix the following:
    - the enemy AI - they feel like NPCs just waiting to be shot, even on the highest difficulty
    - better graphics... this doesn't feel like a current gen game its more like this game was made for the 360 era... crysis looks better.

Due to the fact that Arkane is self managing everyone involved in approving this game for release needs to be properly admonished if not terminated. It isn't embarrassing it is insult to anyone that spent cash on it. The only way Microsoft can save face is to fix this game and eat the cost and to do so transparently and immediately..

I hope eventually this gets patched enough to be playable to I can at least experience half of what Arcane intended for it's audience.

I think this has suffered the same fate as Suicide Squad in pivoting from an always online live service game given how missions are taken on and how, in nearly completing the game, the majority of skills on the skill tree are unobtainable due to a too low a level.

One of the most glaring issues is the abysmal enemy AI. Throughout the game, the enemy AI displays a severe lack of intelligence and strategic behavior. Rather than posing a challenge or requiring tactical thinking, the enemies often exhibit mindless and repetitive patterns. They seem oblivious to their surroundings, frequently standing still or engaging in actions that defy logic. This lack of engaging enemy AI greatly diminishes the overall experience and undermines the potential for thrilling and dynamic gameplay.

    Another major letdown is the quality of the cutscenes in Redfall. Instead of immersive and cinematic sequences, players are presented with motionless pictures that fail to convey the intended impact or emotion. These static cutscenes are devoid of animation or dynamic elements, resulting in a disconnected and unengaging storytelling experience. This design choice not only robs players of the visual spectacle they expect but also hampers the game's ability to effectively deliver key narrative moments and character development.

    Bugs and technical issues plague Redfall, detracting further from its potential. From minor glitches to game-breaking bugs, the overall stability of the game is compromised. Players often encounter situations where characters get stuck in the environment or quests fail to trigger correctly, leading to frustration and hindered progress. These persistent technical flaws highlight a lack of thorough playtesting and polish, leaving players feeling like beta testers rather than paying customers.

    The game's frequent crashes only compound the frustrations experienced by players. Redfall suffers from an alarming number of crashes, disrupting gameplay and forcing players to endure repeated interruptions. It's incredibly disheartening to invest time and effort into a game, only to have progress erased due to unstable software. These crashes not only impede enjoyment but also erode confidence in the game's overall quality and reliability.

    The characters in Redfall and their associated skills also fall short of expectations. One particular skill that stands out is the ability to call your ex-boyfriend to fight for you. This choice seems out of place and lacks creativity, diminishing the immersion and depth of the game's world. It reflects a missed opportunity to develop compelling and meaningful character abilities that enhance gameplay and offer strategic choices.

    Voice acting in Redfall leaves much to be desired. The performances often come across as lackluster and disconnected from the characters they portray. Emotion and depth are notably absent, resulting in a lack of engagement with the game's story and the individuals inhabiting its world. Strong voice acting can greatly enhance the overall experience, but unfortunately, Redfall fails to deliver in this aspect.

    The gunplay mechanics in Redfall also leave a lot to be desired. Controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to achieve precise aiming and satisfying combat encounters. The lack of smooth and intuitive gunplay greatly diminishes the overall enjoyment and impact of combat scenarios. This issue becomes particularly frustrating when combined with the lackluster enemy AI, resulting in encounters that feel lackluster and unsatisfying.

    Lastly, the stealth mechanics in Redfall are disappointingly simplistic. The game reduces stealth gameplay to a repetitive bash move from behind, lacking the complexity and variety that make stealth encounters engaging. It's a missed opportunity to offer players strategic options and creative approaches to stealth gameplay, instead opting for a mundane and repetitive approach.

    In conclusion, Redfall's negative aspects significantly hinder its overall quality and enjoyment. The lackluster enemy AI, motionless cutscenes, prevalent bugs and crashes, uninspired character skills, subpar voice acting, unresponsive gunplay, and simplistic stealth mechanics all contribute to a disappointing gameplay experience. While the game may have had potential, it falls short in multiple areas, leaving players longing for a more polished and engaging experience.    … Expand

    This is not the worst game I've ever played, but it's still bad. The graphics feel one or two generations old. There is very little plot. The layout of the town incentivizes fast travel instead of exploration. The characters are imbalanced and their backstories aren't filled out. Playing it on Gamepass wasn't bad, but I can't imagine paying for it.

    I never had hope for this game to begin with, Main because besides the first Dishonored game, everything else Arkham studios has done I have been disapointed with. But to call this Game disapointing would be an understatement. REDFALL IS BAD, to put in simple terms.

    The worst part is you can see the foundation of what looks to be a pretty cool/decent game.

    A shooter based around killing bloodsucking vampires made by Arkane should have been one of the best games Bethesda has to offer and yet, it seems we've received the exact opposite. An unfinished, unoptimised, soulles piece of digital garbage for the cost of 75$. By far the most disappointing release of the year.

    I give this game 1 point because I paid for it through my game pass and didn't pay the full price. My recommendation to anyone looking into these reviews is to save time and buy games like Borderlands or Doom or even Duke Nukem 3D, which still look decent, have great AI, fun hooking gameplay, and a rewarding experience.

    On the hardest difficulty, you can outsmart the AI by ducking behind any single obstacle. If that wasn't enough, the game looks and runs like crap, has terrible dialogue and voice acting, no cutscenes, and came out about 3 generations too late. This is one of the worst games I've ever played, and the fact that they're charging $70 USD for it is nothing short of insulting. Play anything else.

Es momento de que el consumidor abra los ojos y no acepte este tipo prácticas porque simplemente normalizan la mediocridad en la industria. Quiero ser claro que Game Pass es el mejor servicio de suscripción en la industria del videojuego pero eso no quita el hecho de la pésima decisión de Xbox al querer cobrarte 70 dólares por un juego malo y no terminado. Eso señores borda la línea de estafa y realmente no entiendo como la gente puede defender este tipo de prácticas. Recomendar Game Pass es muy diferente a recomendar un juego malo y roto.

    Possibly one of the worst video games I have ever played in my life. 30 FPS and the bugs are the least of this game's concerns. It's fundamentally broken from a game design and narrative point of view.

    Shame on Arkane for releasing this half-baked, empty-world garbage. We expect this kind of nonsense from Bethesda, but do they have to drag down another formerly-prestige developer in the process. They should rename this game Refund.

    Niestety ta gra powinna być w produkcji jeszcze z rok. Latające cienie, doczytujące się przed oczami tekstury, spadające fpsy, ai przeciwników nie istnieje, do tego te nudne questy.
    To jakiś mało śmieszny żart. Ta gra zasługuje niestety na miano gniota roku.

    Absolute shambles from Arkane and Microsoft. Dropped the ball yet again when it comes to making another console exclusive.
    This game should have never seen the light of day, let alone being released as an XBOX exclusive.

    The result is a game with no identity of its own. Redfall simultaneously wants to be a looter shooter like Borderlands, in an open world like Fallout's, with action like Dying light and a lengthy multiplayer experience like Destiny. But it fails on all counts. The game environments are bleakly empty, the gameplay is wooden. Like the vampires from the world of Redfall, the game has no soul.

    Sadly, Redfall had unbelievable potential and a dynamic studio behind this that is known for quality gaming, but under delivered at quite literally almost every facet of the game. Redfall, unfortunately, should be avoided, and in fact, I hope that the industry starts taking a look at these games and starts evaluating its processes, because if you're only as good as your last game, then Arkane isn't looking good at all.
