They need to replace all the ai art

♥♥♥♥ Red Barrels for using AI for ANYTHING in their game, no matter what you say its lazy as ♥♥♥♥ and cringe to use especially for the recycled content they bring every new update. Never playing this again.

just learned they use AI, very disappointed and disgusted they got any money from me

Was a big fan of this game and put a decent amount of hours into it with friends over the past couple years. However, the dishonesty of Red Barrels regarding inclusion of AI is a big turn off and puts any future updates in doubt. Shame too because they did have plenty of real human artists, voice actors, and creatives working on this but, undoubtedly, some higher up executive wanted to save money by introducing slop. They didn't even take the "oops my bad teehee" approach other studios are using when they got caught. Anyways, ♥♥♥♥ AI and support human made art.

I love this game very much. But I ain't no bootlicker, so I'll give an honest review: I cannot recommend this game in it's current state. 1) Aggressive usage of AI assets and Red Barrel's evasive attitude: Most of background assets in-game are AI generated "arts". Red Barrels is **super evasive** about it. They promised to replace them in the past but not much is done as of September of 2026. I don't get why couldn't the devs just use public domain artworks, when they are 100% cutting corners. How much work it would be to download a pic and assign it to a plane in Blender? It's ironic since thematically, the game is a critical commentary on mass exploitation for profit which is the exact purpose of Generative AI the big techs so eager to shove into our throats and backdoors. -------------------------------------------------------------- 2) No balancing of the game modes: Red Barrel never ever balance, or test anything before any change. In Season 7.1 they just made any damage persistent and cannot revive from Escalation #21 onwards, which render Heal Rig, Jammer Rig (the pacemaker perk), and several perks such as Self Revive, Hide and Heal, Good Job obsolete in this mode. They also never consider the possible combinations of Variators that could render the Escalation unwinnable before adding them to the game. And we are not able to know the Variators (thus not able to adjust the loadout) before starting an Escalation run, and we are not allow to retry too, because leaving will **forfeit the entire Escalation save file** and have to start over from #1. Oh and don't get me start on Invasion mode. -------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Bugs and Performance Issues: Season 7.1 upgrade messed up several languages, every languages that isn't English is affected to some degree, with Traditional Chinese is completely overwritten with Simplified Chinese. Some bugs are never fixed. The performance of the game is getting worse with each update. -------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Disable Mods Support to pacify Youtubers People with disability that rely on Mods to provide accessibility got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because some Youtuber loses their run and threw a tantrum. -------------------------------------------------------------- Some of the fans jumping in defense is enabling Red Barrels, allow them to lowering the bar and race to the bottom. If this is the direction Red Barrels heading towards, so be it.
