it honestly just makes me sad, i respect the amount of work put into this and i absolutely adore Arkane's other work, but it feels like redfall just fell flat.
I've seen rumours that Bethesda redistributed resources during Redfall's development to get Starfield out the door, and honestly after playing Redfall I can totally believe that.
Redfall has the bones of something great, but the world feels empty and the game-play feels unrealised. It just feels so different to every other Arkane game, and not in a good way. It feels stripped back. It feels like i'm playing an early access release of the game, like i can see this becoming something very cool and fun, but at the moment it's too full of glitches and bugs to really see that vision.
I still want to try and finish it, because I wanna give it a fair chance, so maybe this opinion will change once I've given it a couple of more hours. At this point though, I'm not loving it.
