    Dear Microsoft, you've bought so many studios now and this is what you have to show for? This is an absolute disgrace, This is deplorable, we just keep getting awful stuff like this and if we don't take a stand by not buying and even less not preordering games then we won't be going in the right direction, as of now we're very near an abyss, we've become beta testers that pay $70 to betaDear Microsoft, you've bought so many studios now and this is what you have to show for? This is an absolute disgrace, This is deplorable, we just keep getting awful stuff like this and if we don't take a stand by not buying and even less not preordering games then we won't be going in the right direction, as of now we're very near an abyss, we've become beta testers that pay $70 to beta test games instead of the company actually paying us to test their product. Microsoft, Bethesda, Arkane, Sony with thir TLoU pc port, now I feel this is the trend, this is the downfall of the AAA industry, but they need to fall if we want change, that won't happen since most people have such low standards now and just keep paying for awful products, FIFA anyone? I am just grateful that we have the indie gaming industry which has kept me from losing faith in gaming.

    PS. Please just make wholesome singleplayer games, I can't believe this abomination is from the same people that made Prey and Dishonored some of the best games. Bethesda I hope you get your things together with Starfield because if you don't after that I think you're done as a first party developer. I feel cheated, just stick with third parties if you can't be bothered with QA in your games, thank you! - A very disappointed but not surprised gamepass ultimate subscriber.    … Expand

    Unfinished game, subpar graphics, poor performance, dumb AI, broken gameplay systems and just a complete mess.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    First off anyone giving this game a 9 or 10 is a Xbox fan boy lying to themselves and you about this game!! This game is really bad. I was shocked how bad it was. This game will need A LOT to even become something decent. No other words can explain how shocked I am that this came out of Arkane studios.

    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.

    As an Arkane fan, this one hurts. By now you've heard this game is bad. You know about the performance issues and everything else. But I'm not basing my score on those particular elements. When you strip away all of the technical issues, at its core, Redfall is simply uninspired and boring. Outside of some of the designs and pieces of lore, this doesn't even feel like an Arcane game.

    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.

    Absolute trash.
    Lbox is standing idly by, while their own developers are trashing their own & Xbox reputations.
    Who need enemies when you self-sabotage at every turn.

    Booty and Greenberg can't get sacked quick enough, but because Phil Spender is friends with these 2 incompetent clowns, they will keep their Xbox wrecking jobs.

    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.

    Ha d this come out on the 360 it would of still only rated a 4 or 5. The textures and bland colours with no details, enemy AI seems to of been ported from a megadrive game. 30 fps seems to be the goal and not the actual running rate. Disclaimers on the box stating 60 fps performance mode due at a later date so they dont get sued due to it stating 60 fos on the front of the box art.

    This release has done way more damage than just delaying. Its a gamepads game so there was no benefit to launching unfinished other than to pull the team off this and onto the next project but that has just tainted the name of the development house, microsoft and probably lost subs for gamepass. Above and beyond all of that, they are charging AAA prices for this if you dont get it on gamepass.

    I cant stress enough not to buy this, it will just have them continue to release unfinished and sub standard games. Trust me when I say this game will be abandoned by the development team or at best a couple of people will be left to push out mediocre patches with no content and fixes that will just create more bugs.    … Expand

But Redfall is a failure in every metric. Xbox needs to sort out these studios they acquire. Half have taken paid holidays and the other half just churn out whatever experimental crap that takes low effort. I bought my xbox for back compat and they cancelled that so the least they could do is care about First party titles.    … Expand

    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.
