I will be honest - I haven’t played any of their previous games. Not that I don’t want to, but I do have a backlog like many of you lol. So, I cannot judge those games at all, except how they look visually from gameplay footage available online. And more or less, this looks like Arkane style in that aspect (in a good way).
Regardless, I am really looking forward to this game.
But it does? It works perfectly fine in an actual open world game like Far Cry. And im not talking about forced AI, just a choice of 1 character… considering this is sold as a coop game, not having a way to simulate that while solo… its kinda strange.
The solo experience in Arkane games is about atmosphere, immersion and taking your time to explore and experiment with different ways to approach situations. Having AI teammates would negatively affect that experience.
Borderlands doesn’t give you AI teammates and that’s the closest comparison to Redfall.
