Our take on The Redundant
The store framing gives equal weight to stealth, combat, exploration, and mystery, but the resource constraints and network-isolation objective point to a more tactical survival structure than a straightforward action adventure.
What is The Redundant?
Play as CF5, an abandoned robot moving through a facility overrun by virus-infected machines.
The game supports both direct combat and stealth, letting players choose whether to confront enemies or remain hidden. Exploration reveals the facility’s secrets and gradually explains the story behind the virus. Each section must be isolated from the network, while limited resources require careful planning. Enemies have different strengths and weaknesses, and varied environments introduce obstacles during the investigation. Progress combines tactical survival, combat or evasion, and piecing together the facility’s mystery.
