    Disfruto el juego, principalmente los nidos.
    Aunque se ha vuelto un poco repetitivo y los jefes son relativamente sencillos de eliminar.

    I'll keep this pretty brief. The game is not nearly bad enough to justify all of these zeros, however it is pretty mid, and would struggle to justify a AAA price tag.

    The structure seeks to mix Arcane's immersive sim background with a Far Cry like open world shooter. However it falls short in terms of: fun, graphics, story, and any sense that exploring the town would be entertaining.    I'll keep this pretty brief.

    6 is an unfair score for this, it should really be at least a 7. However given how much I loved Prey and Dishonored by the same developers it seemed fair to dock a point for disappointment.    … Expand

    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

    The games story, doesn't seem terrible but becomes very tiresome very fast. The boss fights are terribly boring.
    And the enemy AI is non exsistent
    The worst part is you can see the foundation of what looks to be a pretty cool/decent game. But for Redfall to have been Decent they would have probably needed another year delay, Redfall is just another example of Publishers/stockholders forcing developers to do too much, and release too early,.    … Expand

    I hope Arkane will be allowed to do what they want, as they are good developers. And let Redfall stay in 2023 and not come back.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Redfall is a first-person shooter game developed by Arkane Austin and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on May 2, 2023.

The game was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on May 2, 2023.

    The game is set in the fictional town of Redfall, Massachusetts, which has been overrun by vampires. The player takes control of one of four characters, each with their own unique abilities, as they work together to stop the vampires and save the town.

    The game has been met with mixed reviews from critics. Some have praised the game's unique setting and characters, while others have criticized its repetitive gameplay and technical problems.

    Here are some of the pros and cons of Redfall:

    Pros:

    Unique setting and characters
    Fun and varied combat
    Co-op gameplay is a blast
    Beautiful graphics
    Cons:

    Repetitive gameplay
    Technical problems
    Lackluster story
    Overall, Redfall is a flawed but enjoyable game. It is definitely worth playing if you are a fan of first-person shooters or vampire games, but it is not without its problems.

    Here are some specific thoughts on what I liked and disliked about the game:

    Liked:

    The characters were all well-designed and fun to play as. I especially enjoyed Layla Ellison, a brilliant scientist who can control technology with her mind.
    The combat was fast-paced and satisfying. There was a good variety of weapons and abilities to choose from, and the enemies were challenging to fight.
    The co-op gameplay was a blast. Playing with friends made the game even more enjoyable.
    The graphics were beautiful, especially the lighting and environments.
    Disliked:

    The gameplay could be repetitive at times. There were a limited number of enemy types, and the missions often felt like they were just going through the motions.
    The game was plagued with technical problems. I experienced a number of bugs, including crashes, graphical glitches, and performance issues.
    The story was lackluster. It was predictable and didn't really do anything new or interesting with the vampire genre.
    Overall, I would give Redfall a 7/10. It is a flawed but enjoyable game that is definitely worth playing if you are a fan of first-person shooters or vampire games. However, I would wait for a sale before picking it up, as it is not worth full price in its current state.    … 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.

    I hope one day, this game gets better, but right now I'm giving it 1/10, and maybe I will return someday to check if it's getting better. Sure, it works, but it's not fun at all, and all those broken promises and poor state that game shipped in is just is not acceptable. I think there is still hope for this game, it has potential, so let's wait and see...

Its buggy all over, co-op is a joke, the story is just boring all around and not interesting what so ever and to top it all off its literally just a clone of every zombie based game like Left 4 Dead as well as the game that tried to be like L4D (back 4 blood) The only difference is instead of zombies its vampires like yea that is cool and all but i rather play either those games than this hot mess of a game. Only reason we keep coming back to it after awhile is just so we can complete the main story other than that we have no reason to even attempt to perfect this game (100% the achievements list) I rather not do that what so ever! Your better off going outside and touching grass or do anything else other than playing this hot garbage!… Expand

    What is wrong with my Xbox people? Why is this game scoring twice as much on Xbox than PC?
    Xbox lied to us about the 60fps, there's no patch in sight, Starfield is coming out and it's still not released. Yet, Xbox wants to push 4 games a year? In this state?!
    Just release the game when it's ready.

    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

    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.
