This rehash of concepts doesn’t stop at just the narratives in the game. Furthermore, it’s also difficult to tell a story about greed and loss and revenge when your character is busy spurting out nonsensical dad jokes every other minute.

It also tries to be very Gen Z about its quirky writing, and while it worked in Deathloop (Bethesda/Arcane last outing), it doesn’t seem to fit the world of Redfall. It’s all something that you had seen, read or heard before if you have consumed any media before playing Redfall. IT DEFINITELY IS a commentary on modern corporate capitalism, but it’s just not a new one. It’s almost un-surprising that the corporation in question is a pharmaceutical company, and the real big bad bosses are rich egoistical sociopaths whose hubris drive them into becoming Vampires. But then things start to go wrong, and they finally culminate into something catastrophic. A big corporation comes to a small town, and the town prospers because of it. The story in Redfall is surprisingly pretty stereotypical.
