Adrenaline Vault - Reviewer's Choice, 4 1/2 stars
"There is a near perfect blend of action, adventure, and storytelling in this title."
"Redguard has reminded me of the reason why I started to play games in the first place: the exploration of my imagination, the suspension of reality and disbelief, the experience of an altered state, total immersion. I cannot recommend Redguard enough; you owe it to yourself to visit Stros M'Kai."
Next Generation - 4 stars
"...a thoroughly enjoyable action/adventure of epic proportions.
...Redguard is an impressive addition to the Elder Scrolls series and deserves any true adventure fan's attention."
GameSpot

WarZone - 4 1/2 stars - Best Action-Adventure of 1998
"...if there are any would-be designers out there wondering what the next generation of games will be like--they only need to take their cue from Redguard. It deserves to go down in gaming history as the first true action-adventure that will satisfy players of both genres."
GamePen - 3 1/2 stars
"...the game’s deep story, detailed atmosphere, and good mixture of action and logic puzzles drew me in completely. The amalgamation of storytelling elements and button-mashing excitement is well implemented and, when combined with a solid third-person 3D engine, makes for an enjoyable experience."
