Redfall officially launched only just last night on May 1 (well, here in the US, May 2nd globally) and it’s already in the red, at least when it comes to many players’ experiences.

To paint a picture, the FPS developed by Arkane Studios hasn’t even been out for a day and it already sits at “Mostly Negative” reviews on Steam (and over 500 reviews are in as of this writing). Aside from folks seemingly not liking the game for what it is, there are numerous bugs that plague Redfall from start to end. While the game did launch on-time, gamers are wondering how Redfall was released in this current state — unpolished and unfinished...and having been previously delayed to avoid this exact situation.

Here are some bewildering yet hilarious examples:

LMFAO 😂#Redfall AI

Microsoft just said F it & shoved this out the door.

In the meantime, enjoy the bugs because Arkane Studios — you know, the team that made the well-known and well-liked Dishonored series — has yet to make a statement about Redfall’s condition at the moment.
