Like a vampire’s straw-like fangs
So far, I wouldn’t sayRedfallis a “mess”.
A mess, to me, implies an excess of things that become a horrible, overwhelming tangle.
Here are your first two absences!
One had me drop a pocket watch off at a gravestone.
I got 800XP for my efforts, which made a blue bar go up.
I remember thinking, “Arkane developed this game,Arkane”.
The loot system, as you’d expect, isDestiny-fiedorGotham Knights-ifiedorSuicide Squad-ified, or - you get my drift.
The currency being “Supplies”, which you could spend on new weapons or ammo restocks.
But man, they are beyond irritating to fight.
Not simply because they’re bullet sponges, but because they shadow-step around you all the time.
I wish I could wield a big garlic paddle and not a stupid gun that requires precision.
They are pests, not enemies.
Combat aside, I’ve found Arkane’s magic has surfaced here and there.
I hope there’s more to come as I wade through however many more hours of its map.
I mean, I’m not going out of my way to find them.
That’s the thing about the open world: I’m not exploring it!
The AI is colossally stupid.
They are so stupid, they’ve lent almost all skirmishes a shade of nonchalance.
And I can’t talk about Redfall without mentioning its woeful performance on PC.
Sure, I could tackle a lot of missions with pals in tow, but co-operation isn’t encouraged.
I best get back to it.
