Layla can get up high with her elevator, Remi can disable trip mines with her C4, and Devinder can teleport through windows with his translocator (sometimes, when it actually works). In Redfall, you can only do the things your character does. If you want to hack computers to disable locks instead of finding the keys, Prey will let you become a hacker. If you want to take a stealth approach, Dishonored will let you invest in abilities that help you stay swift and silent. In Dishonored and Prey, you have lots of different ways to spend your skill points and build your character. The other problem is the way abilities work. The Rook may seem like something to avoid, but its yet another incentive to raise hell. You can avoid this by being sneaky, or you can kill The Rook in five seconds and collect a rare weapon from his ashes. Whenever you cause chaos, a meter increases until eventually a mini-boss called The Rook is summoned. The only consequence of going loud is The Rook. You’ll miss out on combat XP if you do that, so there’s no incentive to be sneaky. Even in a heavily fortified location like the mansion, it’s so much easier and faster to just kill everything and walk in the front door than to sneak around and try to play it quiet. Vampires chase you, but all you have to do is walk backwards and move left or right when they swipe at you. Human enemies will move forward until they're in range then stand still and shoot you, making it easy to pop each one in the head. There’s no cover indicator when you crouch down or visibility changes when you’re in shadow or light, there’s no stealth kill prompt when you get behind someone, and the AI is so stupid that you can fire a revolver at a guy at the bottom of the stairs, and a guy at the top of the stairs won’t even react. You can try to sneak around the edges and look for alternate entrances, but there’s no stealth systems here to support that playstyle. It’s designed to be played loud and fast, and the clearest path is always the most direct one. This is a game where you can do a full 360 while sliding and fire a machine gun into an exploding barrel that causes a chain reaction that blows up ten cultists at the same time. Part of the problem is that Redfall, unlike Dishonored, is an action shooter.
