What is a "mock" review?

Xbox internally does a mock 'review' to guess what score the game will get.

The fact that the mock review was in the 70's, and they thought this was OK just proves to me that THIS is the GP standard. 7/10 shovelware is your "game for gamepass" games for ya.

yea I found that funny too that Phil is ok with games in the 60s. If you wan to compete with Sony and Nintendo, it should be 9 and above!!

Its not even about competing with sony and nintendo. Expecting your game to be in the 60-70's cheapen's the f*ck out of your "best deal in gaming". He just confirmed what i've been saying for years, gp is full of shovelware not worth paying attention to, and its how they fill their yearly library.

How's the second open world map? Is it visually distinct? Are there a lot of buildings that stick out to you or that you can enter?

It is more a variant of the first map. The game's story doesn't allow for many variations of the world map. The dungeon instances tend to be "wilder" in execution but it relies on the core aesthetics of the game world.

Dungeons are where the vampires take a nap?

Oh and did you coop this or play it solo? I swear man, I've seen a dozen reviews but I'd still play this soley because it was made by Arkane (first I'm gonna replay through Prey and Mooncrash though)

The dungeons/vampire nests.

I am playing both co-op and solo. Solo can be rough despite the dumb AI. If you haven't played the game as yet, playing the fixed version would definitely be a better experience. Not sure when that is.

Well, considering the game's terrible bugs and performance, terrible game design and gameplay, ugly art style, lazy storytelling, and very dumb AI, this low score looks exactly right. (I also keep hearing that its multiplayer mode is poorly implemented with bugs and other problems and is far from being "fun".)

I'm glad to see that major media outlets such as IGN, GS, GameInformer, PC Gamer, GamesRadar+, etc. are giving very honest and accurate reviews to this highly anticipated MS first party game from popular brand, Arkane Studios.

I was once told by a certain conspiracy theorist here that because these big media outlets are sponsored by big video game publishers like Microsoft, they pad the review scores of their games to get ad revenue from them. I was also told that they pad the scores for games that people have high expectations of, to feed their emotions for clicks and views.

What happened in reality was quite the opposite, honest and accurate reviews from them. 4/10 for the MS first party game from the 'prestigious' Arkane that every fanboy had high hopes for. I'm glad that this idiotic conspiracy theorist has been proven wrong again, haha.

I agree... Redfall is the Forspoken of the Xbox world. Pure crap, seen from a mile away. 💩

You remove the cringe from Cringespoken, and its just a shallow game not worth talking about. Redfall on the other hand, is the definition of poor game design. Big difference between the two.

Everyone who isn't a gamer thinks every second every one of us plays a game is a waste of time.

Not to mention the 1223 posts you have made in a year.

Strange that Arkane made a stinker. Not strange that MS can't buy a decent game for love nor money.

Love my Xbox for Game Pass and BC. Absolutely nothing new worth buying/playing on it though.

Games that are seemingly "made for Game Pass" by MS can generally be avoided alright, but the vast majority of stuff on there is proper games that are made as multiplats for all systems. So it's still an amazing deal!
