Is anybody still playing this? I was surprised to see someone on Twitch playing the other day.
I like it quite a bit. Not dishonored or prey level good, but it’s fun, it’s got cool setpieces, I liked the town. I enjoyed the loot system even though it’s simple. Satisfying shooting. Very few bugs, for me. The AI is dumb but I found that easy to ignore with this game, and I’d still die sometimes.
It’s not a “great” game but is a good one, for me. It’s like I played a completely different game than all the reviewers and reddit commenters. shrug
Internet in general always ends up being more negative than it’s deserved. I remember people bashing Deathloop for similar reasons and when I finally gave it a try last month I actually had lots of fun - as you’d say it was no Prey or Dishonored, it was only around 20ish hours to complete it and it didn’t blow my mind but it was good, solid fun with some interesting mechanics to spice it up.
My bigger worry about Redfall is how allegedly nobody on Arkane wanted to work on it, how they hoped it’d be cancelled and how they bled 70% of their employees during its development. It doesn’t bode well for their future games, or even for Redfall and its updates.
That’s completely fair! You’re allowed to like it. :) The internet’s opinion doesn’t have to be yours. Loll.
I think that’s the point of the article. Was it a great game? No. But apparently you’re not the only person that’s getting some enjoyment out of it. :)
