Terrible tedious game design
The fundamental problem with Vampyr is the game doesn't know what it wants to be. It's got RPG & storytelling components, interactions with people, but strongly encourages you to kill characters before you've even unlocked hints about them because you desperately need the XP. It has a bizarre design choice where you have to kill Citizens for XP, while the game lore suggests vampires can blend in, drink blood without killing their victims, alter memories, and... well, none of the things you get to do as the protagonist. It spends too much time trying to make clever statements, and not enough time actually producing good gameplay value. The combat is clunky, and most of the time you will be under-levelled unless you go full psychopath re Citizens. Add to that enemies respawning immediately after you die, and you have a recipe for endless tedium of re-attempting the same fights getting one-shot you for the slightest error. This isn't fun, just a new way to create repetitive strain injuries. When an enemy made a jump attack, missed me due to dodging, then we're yanked together because of hit boxes (and then I die anyway!), I'd had enough. To add insult to injury, there are no saves; any errors you make due to the incompetent game design, bugs you encounter, or just happen to walk into an area that is vastly over your level and trigger consequences you cannot possibly do anything about yet - sorry, you get to start the game again. Roguelikes usually have the courtesy of being short gameplay loops for a reason. For a game that allegedly revolves around story & choices, most of the characters are breathtakingly shallow. Once you've exhausted a few hints & investigations, they're just taking up space in the background. Coming from real vampire games like Masquerade, it feels lacklustre & no time really spent on what being a vampire can be about. It's just not a satisfying game. Play on Easy, get a mod for full XP start, or just spend your valuable time elsewhere.
