Worth playing but poorly optimized

I'll keep it short and sweet... This game is fun and different enough that it's well worth playing if you can get it cheap. The combat isn't anything amazing but it's good enough and does require some actual thought on harder difficulty levels. The investigation part of the game is where the most effort went in and that's also enjoyable. Sound quality is good both in terms of music and effects, especially if you can play in surround sound. Now the games biggest issue... Performance. It doesn't seem to matter what settings you use the game will studder for no reason. At first I thought maybe it was a drm issue so I bought it again on gog... Not a drm issue. Then I thought maybe my i7 5820k (6 cores @ 4.8ghz) was the problem even though I didn't have issues in any other games but nope not that either because when I switched to a ryzen 5800x I had the same issue and this is on a 2080ti ftw3 ultra. My full specs... Ryzen 5800x 2080 ti ftw3 ultra +170 core +1000 mem 32 gigs DDR4 3200 mhz dual channel Game ran from a gen 4 Samsung Evo SSD ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula motherboard Custom loop liquid cooling setup. Cooling motherboard VRM's & Chipset on 120mm rad and CPU on 240mm rad. All fans are noctua, positive pressure.

You have to live with your choices

Vampyr is an atmospheric, story-driven action adventure with detective vibes and lots of vampire lore. There are some control issues and other small problems, and the combat system is so-so, but the game is generally very enjoyable. The game sounds great and looks relatively nice, although it was obviously developed mainly for consoles and thus doesn't take advantage of PC power, trying to hide some lack of detail with blurring, fog and such cheap gimmicks. Besides combat and regular quests there's detective work to do, usually following blood trails or eavesdropping using vampire senses. Because there's no saving, choices in dialogues (indicated with Y signs) must be made carefully, as otherwise investigation hints may be permanently lost. Combat doesn't net much experience to improve your spell-like vampire abilities, but completing quests and investigations does. You can also gain massive XP bonuses by embracing (meaning drinking the blood of) important people, but it often has terrible consequences, at worst causing whole city districts to collapse, killing all their people and losing their quests. There are some puzzles, but I didn't enjoy them much, because most were more trial and error than deciphering clues. Probably the only smart one was a certain semi-hidden puzzle involving collectible documents. Storytelling is where this game shines. While many conversations are inconsequential chatter, they sure create atmosphere. I enjoyed listening to backstories, especially as most voice acting is decent. There's definitely some replay value, as you can play a pacifist, a street judge-executioner or even a full-on monster killing friends and family, and there are lots of choices to make and a handful of different endings.

Really Well Told Story

This is a really well told 'Gothic' tale. The story is good, the soundtrack is phenomenal, the atmosphere is top-notch, the combat is really fun I disagree that the combat "is not spectacular, because it feels like total opposite of most vampire power fantasies". That is precisely the point because you are a NEW-BORN. You are a just-born vampire that is just beginning to live as one. Besides, you can get much more powerful later as you progress. And the story stays with you... However, I have to say there is a minor fly in the ointment. There is a bit too much woke content (but fortunately it is not overwhelming). You just HAVE to have a token interracial relationship (actually two AND suggest that YOU have a problem with it), a token gay relationship (AND suggest they are SO oppressed), and some feminists (that just HAVE TO whine about how the patriarchy denies them opportunities). All this is really unnecessary as it breaks you out of immersion. Anyway, I recommend this game. If a good, deep story and fleshed-out characters is what you want - go for it!

Game is broken

It is possible to get stuck in game. Complete waste of time. https://steamcommunity.com/app/427290/discussions/0/1743355067126700039/ I can't believe this bug isn't fixed since January.

Suprisingly Good

Very interesting game, you will have a lot of fun with it's unique mechanic of getting to know various denizens of London, each with their own stories and mysteries to solve. In turn increasing your reward if you choose to "embrace" them and drink their blood! Story is captivating and keeps you interested untill the end, great presentation with some superb voice acting. I've seen a lot of complaints about the combat in this game, while not perfect by all means, I found it enjoyable, it's more slower pace and methodical than what you might expect. If you enjoy a good story and setting, a well written dialoge and enjoyable mechanics, you are going to enjoy this game. I think this somewhat hidden and underrated gem definitely deserves for you to give it a chance.
