The dead ends keep coming as you return to base, a repurposed fire station and home to the game's tired commitment to its open world. If you either gun everything down, or sneak past the extremely stupid AI, then you've exhausted both of the game's options. And yes, there are often multiple routes you can take into spooky churches and tattered houses, but it soon becomes clear that you have limited options to manipulate anything once you're inside. "You can tackle this place in all manner of ways!", a pop-up says, implying that Redfall is a pliable town you're able to shape and poke holes in over the course of its story.
Watch on YouTube Liam chatted to Ed about Redfall, which they agreed is a rare stumble for developer Arkane.Įarly on, Redfall presents itself as an immersive sim set in an open world. I'd hoped my decision would feed into a stealthy playstyle that would take advantage of Arkane's excellent level design. I went with Jacob, a spectral sniper capable of hitting some high numbers, and whose ghostly raven can pinpoint baddies. You've got a choice between four characters: Jacob, Layla, Devinder, and Remi, all of whom come with their own abilities and skill trees. Vampires have blocked out the sun above the titular town, and they're feeding on residents to fuel their evil plans - so it's up to you to choose your hero and put a stop to the bloodsuckers. Flashes of Arkane's brilliance make an appearance, but they are a rare find amidst a bland, incoherent world that clearly points to deeper issues in a game that's been drained of its magic. Redfall, an open world FPS by the folks over at Arkane, plays like a game that was pulled in so many directions over its development that it exploded into various bits, which were then patchworked together into a live service game that already feels like it's been abandoned.
A hollow open world FPS which feels more like you're playing through an already abandoned live service, as opposed to a fully supported one.
