Redfall

Game is bugged in its current state. It still tries to connect to a server that isn't there anymore and doesn't boot up cuz of it. Only way to play it is if you've had it installed when offline mode was introduced so you can tell it not to connect to it. Was refused a refund and the game is still for sale despite being unplayable in the current state

Don't buy, game just is stuck on a connecting to server page.

Playing through a good chunk of the Arkane's library with the recent sale, and this honestly was more solid than I initially figured. Damn shame that Bethesda pushed it as a live service game, there was some great potential here that ended up shuttered due to bad management. So it goes!

I cannot give a positive because if keeps crashing every 5 minutes of game half way to the next objective. It can be at any point of the game. And because you cannot save whenever you want, then you need to restart each time from scratch. A pity. In my opinion game should be removed from the steam store due lack of support and being randomly buggy.

This is a game of what if's and could have been. I do hope someone out there decides to remaster it to a playable state, but waiting over two hours to connect to a server was something I expect on a massively crowded mmo on an expansion launch day, not for this. It had everything I was looking for but you can't even play it because of server bugs years later. Tragic really. Save your time, sanity, and money and pass.

i think we were all too harsh on this game

i was suprised this game is not as bad as everyone said it wa quite fun actually.

This is probably a wildly unpopular opinion, but I LOVE this game. Such a meticulously well-crafted world. Fun enemies that present an actual challenge, at time. The calling cards of the great Arkane Austin (Dishonored, Prey) are all here - dark narrative flourishes, fun, effective abilities, a surrealistic art style, maps full of new guns to grab and items to get. There were some issues at launch - the maps were mostly empty of enemies and I don't think they would respawn. You had to work to find enough battles to keep it interesting. Still, I could see that it had good bones. The game was rushed, insufficiently promoted, then abandoned, after Microsoft acquired the studio. The last patch fixed a lot of the issues that were there at launch and now I find it to be my second favorite Arkane Austin game, after the original Dishonored. This is a shout out to all of the Arkane Austin crew who made this happen. Thank you! I'm sorry about what happened to y'all. Your work is appreciated!

I wish this game had a sequel...

REDFALL: THE NO-BS REVIEW THE PERFORMANCE: Full in-game 4K 60FPS UHD VSR at High/ Ultra settings ,frame gen OFF ,upscaling OFF only TAA (HIGH) is ON with SHADOW AND SHADING SETTINGS -both being set on HIGH SETTINGS and the REST IS bang ON ULTRA SETTINGS. No crashes. No optimization issues. My RX 9060 XT (16GB) XFX SWIFT and Ryzen 5700X on AM4 B550M PRO with high-speed M.2 SSD PRO AND 3600-4000Mhz Patriot crushed it really nicely, like any other AAA modern titles anyway in that matter so no surprise in this backlog game neither. THE GAMEPLAY: Decent game. Had fun. THE FEEL: Mechanics can be recognized as a bit stiff and rough on the edges in some in-game "climbing" sections, but nothing major. It doesn't ruin the experience and it is more about the flow, like the speed of weapon changing or reloading speed aspect. THE TRUTH: It’s a solid game and it’s not a broken mess—it’s a functional, fun shooter that looks great and runs smooth. I personally could only wonder why MS killed the Arkane studio? MY VERDICT: DECENT GAME and IT WORKS PERFECT ON MY RIG.
