    Gran bel gioco, ci ho giocato ieri un paio di ore. Mi è piaciuto molto, sia graficamente, sia artisticamente, sia come storia sia come doppiaggio italiano. Veramente ben fatto. Mi ha dato ottime sensazioni su Serie X, ci ho giocato con la patch del day One, 30fps ma molto stabili. Nessun bug o freeze riscontrato. A me di quello che dice la community frega meno di 0.

    Igromechanically it is Far Cry with elements of shooter shooter. We take a mission in the headquarters, we wander around the city and fulfill it. Story missions slowly reveal the plot, sidequests reward experience, loot and new guns. The city itself as a location is quite compact, at first impression a little smaller even than the map in Battleroyal like Fortnite. But this is more a plus than a minus: there are no empty spaces, the location is well designed, a lot of nooks, installations, everything is arranged intelligently. And for example in the quest houses, if not all, then almost all can be entered differently.

    The city is very atmospheric, each location is like a frame from the horror movies of 80-90 years.

    Performance on Xbox Series X norm: the game goes in 4k and keeps 30 fps, sometimes there are problems with the loading of textures, met a couple of bugs with hanging enemies. There are problems with AI opponents.

    Redfall is not an expensive project of Deathloop, Hi-Fi Rush or Returnal level. Of course, it was a mistake to sell the game for 70$ and position it as a AAA project (by the way, I have the same complaints about Deathloop and Returnal - they are good niche games, but the price tag is obviously overrated).

    I don't really understand the bluster about the game, everything is much better than it's presented. Redfall instead of being another niche game in the subscription got seriously screwed.

    Arcane game fans wanted Dishonored 3, Xbox fans were waiting for another "Sony answer", Sony fans are dancing on Phil's bones making things worse, that's the way it is :D

    The game is available on Game Pass, I recommend you to read it yourself and make your own opinion. As a fan of old horror games, I was hooked by Redfall. The game is interesting, but unfortunately could have been less problematic on release.

    The first playthrough of the game on mah available difficulty took 18 hours, now I will wait for patches and try Redfall on the last difficulty level.    … Expand

    Após os dois últimos patchs de correção o jogo melhorou muito. Jogo tem uma excelente gunplay, alguns inimigos são bem desafiadores. Como crítica, acho que o sistema de itens poderia ser mais complexo, tipo vc ter que capturar alimentos e medicamentos para a base.

    Taking my top spot of this year is RedFall, the latest title from acclaimed developer Arkane, the studio behind such hits as Dishonored, Prey (2017), Deathloop, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. RedFall is a first-person, open world, looter-shooter that supports both single-player and cooperative play.

RedFall is a first-person, open world, looter-shooter that supports both single-player and cooperative play.

    The game takes place during a vampire invasion, wherein a group of legendary survivors must step up. RedFall features four charismatic and very memorable characters: Layla, Jacob, Remi, and Devinder, who each come with their own stunningly original playstyles and wacky backgrounds. While gamers are encouraged to engage in cooperative play, RedFall ensures that a single-player option is not neglected. RedFall is designed to be an online-only title in order to ensure the best single-player experience possible.

    Regarding plot, this game definitely has a story. I would hate to spoil this epic ten-hour campaign, so I will minimize details. However, I would like to suggest that gamers consider putting their friends and family members through this masterwork of a narrative, as the story alone is worth the price of admission. The “Bite Back Edition” is currently priced at $89.99 USD (tax not included, mandatory Xbox Live Gold subscription pricing also not included).

    Regarding gameplay, RedFail absolutely has a shooting experience. The mechanics are incredibly thought out, to the point where RedFall can realistically compete with Doom Eternal and MachineGames’s Wolfenstein titles. The looter aspect is also so astutely tuned that it gives the greatest looter-shooter of all time—Borderlands 2—a run for its money. However, what differs between these titles is that in RedFall, gamers control vastly less “experienced” characters. Sometimes it felt as though shots just weren’t making impact, and other times it felt as though bullets phased right through enemies. It took considerable time for me to get that these are supernatural creatures, and that while the characters aren't as capable or compelling as B.J. Blazkowicz or the Doomslayer, they were surely relatable—as I myself have never held a gun, nor faced a vampire invasion. This is part of what makes Lena, Jack, Lenny, and Tevinter so iconic. I am looking forward to this characterization return with the two upcoming paid downloadable content protagonists.

    The open world of the titular Redfall is highly representative of how a real-life vampiric invasion would be portrayed. Redfall is a lifeless and empty town, with nothing to do but wander around. However, it is important that I specify that gamers will not be wandering around aimlessly as there are plenty of vampires to point and shoot at. It also helps that when you equip one sight to one gun, that sight is universally applied to all other guns (for the duration of that play session), regardless of specifications.

    While this is just a personal gripe, I was very much taken aback by how disturbing the enemy visuals were in this game. The constant clipping through assets and jagged animations made the vampires unpredictable and added to their supernatural nature. Some of the vampires even reminded me of the eponymous vampire from last year’s hit, Morbius, which I very much appreciated. The enemy designs oftentimes made it very challenging for me to keep my eyes on the screen, among other things. Thankfully, the A.I. in this title is also very accommodating. The aim of the various “Hollow Man Cultists” is on par with Stormtroopers from the Star Wars franchise, as there were countless occasions wherein these opponents were firing directly into the ground, allowing ample time to make a getaway.

    However, there is unfortunately no such thing as a perfect game, as there are a couple of minor issues with this title that stood out to me. For one, RedFall seems to lack any unified creative vision—however, this is only a minor gripe as the game handles both its open world and A.I. expertly well.

    While on the topic of complaints being levied, I have noticed a handful of critiques that claim much more serious and fundamental problems. Complaints cite things like “a lack of content,” “endless bugs,” or that “it feels like a paid beta test.” One particular commentator I saw kept confusing RedFall with 2018’s Fallout 76, which faced the same unjustified scrutiny for its accurate portrayal of a barren and desolate post-nuclear West Virginia. I, for one, do not support these claims as I have not personally encountered any such issues for the duration of my own playtime. Regardless of these comments, in addition to not actually owning an Xbox Series X home gaming console, I very much enjoyed watching others experience this masterpiece for me, nonetheless.

    Ultimately, I cannot recommend RenField enough, so please go out and support this masterpiece. The game currently supports 30 frames-per-second—highly representative of current-gen gaming potential. The future of Xbox is here!    … Expand

    The free-form gameplay, where you can explore the somewhat nostalgic town at your leisure, use the special abilities of the main characters to sometimes beat down guards and sometimes burn down vampire dwellings, is not too difficult and can be enjoyed with the right amount of tension.
    When I played with my friends, we had the pleasure of cleaving vampires that attacked us in all directions.
    I think this game deserves more recognition than some politically-motivated bad press.    … Expand

    I've been enjoying this title quite a bit. On my first few plays, I did experience a few bugs and some wonky enemy AI, but nothing after that. It could use a polish, as I have noticed some floating items and objects that defy gravity, but it's nothing game breaking. The game has great sound design and atmosphere, and I keep wanting to go back and play more.

    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.
