Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is a frustrating one for me because I would recommend it so much more if it didn’t have all the technical issues that it has. That said, there’s a promising game underneath all that and the game is satisfying enough to play that I would recommend it if you have a lot of patience and have the ability to see past a bunch of technical faults and glitches. It’s a game I don’t regret spending my time with and it’s a pretty competent top-down, twin-stick shooter all things considered. It gets a Thumb Culture Silver Award from me!

“A satisfying bit of bone crunching fun, Redeemer brings some much welcomed innovation to a sometimes stale genre. A short run-time and a few technical hiccups are the only things holding the game back from greatness.”

It's a fun thrill ride while it lasts. Redeemer Enhanced Edition is kind of a one and done game and it’s not a very long one. Having said that, what you get in that one playthrough is some gripping action, solid gameplay, and a chance to team up with a buddy. There’s potentially the makings of an exciting new IP here and I just hope, if they ever do a Redeemer 2, it benefits from some of that potential.

Redeemer is a deeply flawed game that manages to provide moments of fun but too often feels frustrating and under-developed.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is almost the game it wants to be, the game we all want it to be, but even this improved port can't change the fact that it simply isn't.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is an alright brawling game, it’s somewhat different and a good effort.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition offers a brutal adventure that is full of imaginative and enjoyable ways to beat down your foes… believe me, there’ll be a LOT of blood spilled on your roughly seven-hour adventure. It does have a few missteps along the way thanks to some unimaginative and repetitive level design, but the incredibly satisfying combat mechanics and the fantastic multiplayer component help ensure that Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is an enjoyable addition to the brawler genre and one that console gamers really ought to check out.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is a fun co-op experience with great combat that is stuck in a game containing no other redeeming features.

If mowing down brainless mercenaries and mutants in confined spaces is your thing, then you’ll feel right at home with the Redeemer: Enhanced Edition. But if you are expecting something more from the £25/$30 which you’ll have to spend on this particular release, then you will be inexplicably disappointed – especially when faced with title’s numerous issues.

I had a blast playing through Redeemer, but I can’t cover up its underlying issues. It’s frantic action is fun for awhile, but it can grow tiresome over time. The visual glitches and animation issues, along with the significant frame rate issues really takes down Redeemer’s quality of gameplay with a hard charged-punch. For those who are craving an action-packed journey of redemption you might be able to look past these issues. However, in its current state it might not be for all fans of the action genre.

Redeemer Enhanced Edition is quite fun to pick up and play for a bit. However, performance issues and an obvious lack of scaling for single-player keeps the game from being anything other than somewhat disappointing.

While the beat-em-up was an arcade and early console staple in more recent years it hasn't had much representation...

There’s no doubt about it – Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is indeed an improvement over the original game. It is still ultimately a victim to repetition though.

Way too simple, with a lot of storytelling and character development issues, Redeemer: Enhanced Edition can still deliver something positive with a fun, more complex but underexplored combat. It ends up being a poor execution even though it has the potential to be better.

Redeemer: Enhanced Edition doesn't do anything new or creative, but still, gameplay is great and addictive. You can take down enemies in some brutal and satisfying ways. You have both ranged weapons and melee Weapons in your arsenal which You should Use according to the situation. enemy variety is totally fine. Also the addition of local co-op is a very interesting option. If the game didn't suffer from some technical issues and bugs, and also level design was more complex and deep, Redeemer Could have delivered a better experience. Still If You want to enjoy killing enemies in some brutal ways and experience a nice top down beat 'em up-shoot 'em up, give Redeemer: Enhanced Edition a shot. You won't be disappointed.

An enjoyable game but not something that you have to play, it's disappointingly short and has a definite unfinished feel in places. I finished the game in three sittings, in well under five hours combined without really even trying to hammer through it on a moderate difficulty, so seasoned gamers will have this smashed in no time.

There are some cool ideas in Redeemer but they just don’t come together in an enjoyable way. Hopefully, a more refined sequel will put Vasily in a better light. For now, his defiant echoes through the mountains will likely fall on deaf ears.

A brilliant top down brawler, Redeemer Enhanced Edition is sure to please every fan of over the top violence and gore with satisfying gameplay to boot.
