    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. But coming straight from Dead Island 2, the drop in quality is remarkable. It's so poor, this may have wider consequences for XBox and Microsoft as a whole.

    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

    It was free on game pass so I tried to play it and do mean tried. Devs have claimed that Microsoft forced them to take it from a single player game to co-op which takes away from XBOX CEO claims that they took a hands of approach. Regardless of who is to blame or to be believed the game is a steaming pile of Xbox crap i hope upcoming games can help lift the name brand up .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RedFall tentou ser uma mistura de muitos jogos, inclusive com os jogos da própria Arkane, mas não consegue ser bom em nada. 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

    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.
