Windows Central's take
I really enjoy the style of these trailers that Arkane Austin and Bethesda are doing for each of the playable characters. All of them seem appealing, but I'm really leaning towards going with Jacob for my first playthrough.
I'm also curious about when we'll learn about the two post-launch characters that are included in the hero pass...
Update: We have now published our review for Redfall and the verdict is sadly unimpressive. The few moments of serviceable gunplay and great atmospheric presentations are buried under a pile of technical issues and lackluster gameplay design decisions that bring down the whole experience.
