The world is incredibly barren and lifeless, and while explained in the lore, it still doesn’t make for a compelling setting to explore. Performance on PC is hit or miss – some have reported the game to run smoothly due to the day one patch, but plenty of Steam reviews with strong configurations claim otherwise.īarring fixes for the technical issues and glitches, Redfall isn’t a good game. It’s also full of bugs like broken AI, disappearing enemies, disappearing guns, the Start menu becoming locked, a glitching interface, and more. Throw in 30 FPS only on Xbox Series X/S with a 60 FPS mode coming later while reviews went live roughly an hour before launch, and skepticism was high.Ĭut to the game’s release, with complaints of pop-in, control issues, and motion sickness on consoles to go with the poor textures. Campaign progression only applies to the host and no one else (though levels and materials still carry over). However, as the months rolled on, the concerns piled up.
Still, the team seemed enthusiastic enough about bringing the world to life. Like Ninja Theory with Bleeding Edge, which died quickly on release, Redfall felt like something outside the developer’s single-player wheelhouse. The overall gameplay looked incredibly formulaic, and the heavy focus on co-op was odd. In a way, some people would have predicted Redfall not living up to Arkane Studios’ legacy. Steam hasn’t been too kind either – it’s sitting a “Mostly Negative” rating based on 816 user reviews, with only 30 percent being positive. A quick peek at its Metacritic reveals a Metascore of 64 on PC out of 38 reviews, while the Xbox version has a 59 Metascore based on 29 reviews. The co-op looter shooter is now available on Xbox Series X/S and PC after reportedly over five years in development (if LinkedIn profiles are anything to go by). By now, you would’ve seen several reviews for Arkane Austin’s Redfall (check out ours here).
