Feature Redfall One Year On: Xbox's Vampire Misfire Still Lacks Bite
Man, this sucks
Was it really only this time last year that Redfall launched? Actually? It seems so much longer in game industry terms.

Talking Point What Do You Think Of Redfall So Far?
Does it mark a fall from grace?
Redfall landed on Xbox Game Pass earlier this week, and it's safe to say it's been a pretty controversial launch on the whole. 30FPS is the only way to play on console, the game has arrived with a litany of bugs and glitches, and to be quite frank
