A Reddit user named TrueOni has shared animage of a chimney inRedfall, showing that it features the same texture as the roof of the house. It appears that the chimney is closed off from the bottom with the same tiles as the roof, completely invalidating its purpose. Strangely, the development team did not add a plain black texture, or utilize any other way, to cover this up, and many users in the comments section express their disappointment at seeingRedfallin such a state.
According to one fan, some doors inRedfallare designed without their handles, prompting them to question if anyone even lived in this town. One playercomparesRedfallto shovelware titles, while many users wonder where all the time and money went during the development cycle of this game. A few gamers also state that chimneys inRedfallare completely secure, making it so that bats cannot enter the house.
The rest of the comments feature disappointed users sharing their complaints, with one fan mentioning thatRedfallhas dealt a huge blow toArkane’s credibility as a development studio. One player also believes thatSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill release in a similar state when it launches next year.
Overall, it looks like gamers are massively disappointed inRedfall, especially given the track record of Arkane Austin.Redfallis being review bombedas a result of all the issues and problems faced by the player base, and it currently holds a rating of “Mostly Negative” on Steam. It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes for these problems to get resolved, although Arkane will probably prioritize bigger issues inRedfallinstead of chimneys that don’t work correctly.
