Redfall was supposed to be one of the highlights of its 2023 release calendar, but, sadly, it hasn’t delivered. With Halo developer 343 Industries undergoing a reorganization, the company is in dire need of a big hit. The lukewarm reception of Redfall highlights a bigger issue for Microsoft and Xbox. If you don’t have at least one other friend to team up with, you may quickly find yourself outnumbered and overwhelmed. Characters are meant to complement each other's abilities, which can make the game difficult and frustrating for solo players, or even those who play with random strangers online. One of the biggest problems with Redfall is that it’s specifically designed for co-op play. The Xbox Series X version has received a Metacritic score of only 64, with some reviewers criticizing the poor optimization, repetitive gameplay, and lackluster looter shooter mechanics. The game was heavily promoted by Microsoft and Bethesda Softworks, but the critical response has been lackluster.

With a price tag of $70, Redfall offers players the chance to fight against vampires terrorizing the titular small island town in Massachusetts.

But is it worth the hype? Unfortunately, it seems that Redfall has fallen short of expectations. Are you ready to take on the undead? Arkane Studios’ highly-awaited vampire co-op shooter game has finally launched on PC, Xbox, and Game Pass.
