Dishonored and its sequel had excellent level design, full of twists and turns, hidden secrets, and oblique ways to achieve your objectives. In Dishonored, Arkane Studios went above and beyond not just in the abilities available to Corvo (and later Emily), but also in the playground you were able to use them in.

Not just on a narrative level, as protagonist Morgan Yu finds out what exactly is happening on Talos I, but on a structural level too. Its starts with a twist and then settles down into opening hours that feel a bit like games we've seen before: a bit of Bioshock, a bit of Dead Space, a bit of Half-Life. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer and acting UK news editor. Plagued with bland missions, boneheaded enemies, and repeated technical problems, Redfall simply wasn’t ready for daylight in this state.' In our 4/10 review of the studio's latest, IGN said: 'Redfall is a bafflingly bad time across the board. Spencer tried to dismiss concerns, however, saying the publisher 'did a better job' at supporting Bethesda than it did Arkane. This loss of confidence is perhaps most concerning for Xbox when looking ahead to Starfield, the next colossal RPG from Skyrim and Fallout developer Bethesda that's due to launch in September. 'There’s nothing that’s more difficult for me than disappointing the Xbox community, and just kind of watch the community lose confidence be disappointed,' he said at the time. Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he was upset with himself and took full responsibility for the handling of Redfall. Microsoft declined to comment on the report when reached out to by IGN.

The sources claimed that management would also regularly switch reference points, saying Redfall should be like Far Cry one day and Borderlands the next, leaving designers with no clear idea of what game they were making. The project also reportedly lacked direction as a result, with developers stuck between making a single player and a multiplayer game. This led to what's claimed to be a 'perpetually understaffed' team of less than 100 employees. Replacing them was also claimed to be an issue for the same reasons: applicants looking to replace these roles were developers passionate about single player and not the multiplayer experts that Arkane needed.

Developers who worked on the single player Prey (which is a format Arkane is known for thanks to hits like Dishonored) were now working on a multiplayer game, and Bloomberg reported that 70% of these staff members left by the end of Redfall's development. The switch to a multiplayer focus, which was reportedly pushed for by parent company ZeniMax, appeared to be a major cause of Redfall's issues. Things allegedly became so bad at Arkane that, despite having put two years into Redfall at the time of the Xbox acquisition, staff wished it would be rebooted as a single player game or cancelled altogether.
