It is rotten to the core, and was meant to be one of the few worthwhile exclusives Xbox could call its own this year. Not only is Redfall a failure from a studio otherwise renowned for immersive masterpieces thanks to how it focuses on modern trends in defiance of innovative design, its biggest problem is that it just doesn’t work. Sadly, this happiness was punched back down with Redfall’s spectacularly mediocre arrival which has gone so badly that I’m expecting a comprehensive report on what exactly went down at Arkane Studios for it to go so wrong.

Hi-Fi Rush sprung out of nowhere to pick them right up again. published Arkane changed, but we changed too. Then Halo Infinite came along and dampened my spirits a little bit. Yes, it might follow the strict formula of past efforts in its bland character animations and lightweight gunplay, but the real magic would sit in all the stories these planets had to tell and how I’d come to create my own galactic explorer.

\My anticipation has grown in recent months, and I felt ready for another game like this after so long away from them.
