Great Story, Aweful gameplay

The gameplay want to mimic dark souls. It's pretty difficult on normal difficulty, almost good under 3 enemies. But over this number, which happens a lot after a few hours of gameplay, it becomes a real pain, it becomes almost impossible to avoid enemy attack long enough not to get killed after a 5 minutes fight, where you basically spent your time dashing away from attacks and trying to get blood from enemies. The aiming system is aweful, it would have been way better to aim like in a normal third person shooter (at least with keyboard and mouse) and even with a gamepad, it's a pain to switch focus from an enemy to another, as they dash constantly as much as yourself. I'm not against difficulty when the gameplay is rich and interesting, and when you can pratice your skills, but here it's not the case. The controls and cameras are clumsy. The loading screens are extremely long, then you don't want to try to many times the same fight. And you can't really level up somewhere and come back to a difficult fight later because fights almost doesn't grant xp. The only way to get xp is to drink blood from victims, but you don't want to do that too early because it could prevent you from getting the most interesting part of the game : the story. And not only the story, because when you don't have enough infos you get less xp from the victims. All this, in the end, made me drop the game, after 14-15 hours while I was really hooked by the story. Maybe I'll try again at a later date, begin from a new game, on story mode. But not right now.

Too shallow for me

I wanted to like it, but I can tell when a game will catch me from the beginning, and this is not one of them. It tries to force on you a pseudo romanticism that one may accept, but it fails from the ground up with the anachronism of your character who is looks like a Millenial lumberjack type with a modern voice. It lacks substance, I definitely don't feel that Victorian vibe. The environment is somewhat simplistic and the progress too scripted for my taste. It is completely arbitrary what ways you can access and what objects you can interact with. Movement is terrible, the controls and the in-game menus are a mess - to me, it looks like someone wanted to add many features to a game, not having a vision in mind that they wanted to make a game from. The sound and visuals are good, though.

It's good but...

This is a pretty good game overall, but it's plagued by minor inconviniences and inconsistencies that make it frustrating. Usually I try to avoid walkthroughs of story rich games, but Vampyr virtually demands one or it will punish you for not reading the minds of the devs. The combat is servicable, if not very inspired, but it's the writing that shines here. It almost might have been better simply as a virtual novel.

A diamond in the rough!

Truly a hidden gem. Combat can be clunky, but the story makes it worth playing for sure.

Nothing outstanding

Story-focused game with dark souls-like combat sounds nice when you first think about it, but then this game comes. Beginning is realy immersive and intense with all that "becoming vampire" and stuff, all introductions to game mechanics, especialy districts, bloodsucking and hint gathering are actualy can be realy excting, but... Every hour i spent in Vampyr was more and more tiring and boring experience. While story being somewhat interesing (with realy weak finale, but its my opinion), game likes to overflow you with unintersing dialogues that often are repeating itselfs, rarely offering something new to the story, its probably more about their point of view, but it didn't convinced me and made me skip more dialogue with the progress of the story. Combat was ok, sometimes ok. They want to bring some dark souls combat like i mentioned earlier, but from start to the end it have realy janky feeling and biggest challenge was containing bs that often happening during encounters. Enemies can often spam you to death with your attacks, most weapons you can use are either still bugged or just weak even with upgrades you can put to them and just idea of combat system in this game gave me feeling of being more like human with some powers than powerful vampire with ancient bloodline like game tries to tell us. Whole game I was underleveled. Guess its idea to kinda force player to kill district members beacuse they give huge amount of exp, but every kill leads to disastrous impact which finds me quickly pushed to the wall while still being kinda underleveled. Overwall it isn't bad game. Soundtrack and visuals are beatuiful, but game itself is clunky to the end
