Announcing your redemption arc before even starting it sounds like a surefire way not to have one.

Admittedly CDPR announced their own redemption arc for Cyberpunk 2077.
Though, I'm not holding my breath for this one.

The biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc is that they pulled it off, and now a bunch of studios think they can do it too.

No Man's Sky did it first.

Someone should go back and give Daikatana a redeption arc so we finally can be John Romero's bitches.

Ruby Ranger seems to be trying.

The development of Doom and Quake is a tragedy with no villains. Daikatana has several.

Well, it's good if they try

Funny guy, seriously, he drops jokes after jokes

Having watched one (1) video about this game, I'd guess the best fix would be making the combat unhinged. Don't polish it. Crack it. Make it fit the batshit nonsense story, by being interesting, instead of sensible.

Polished gem vs polished turd.
