Good but too easy and at times lacking
If I could give half-stars, this review would be a 3.5 stars. The game is first of all very entertaining and visually appealing. The music is good, controls of the character are just on point and smooth, and combat is fun and opens a lot of possibilities. The story is also well told (even though the ending takes a turn into the paranormal that I did not fully appreciate and felt quite a letdown-but still was ok). My main critique to this game is that it's just way, way too easy. I played in normal difficulty in a NO-embrace run and never used either serums or guns, I only used a melee mace, but I always felt overpowered respect to the enemies. I killed the lvl 18 Skal in Whitechapel being only lvl 6. I defeated the lvl 33 Priwen boss toward the end of the game while being lvl 22 myself. The fight has been challenging, don't get me wrong, but this boss and the boss you face in the graveyard (you know which one I am talking about) are the only two real challenges in the whole game. Even though I purposefully crippled myself doing no embraces and not using serums or weapons, I never felt the pressure to kill a citizen for the XP. The whole moral dilemma the game seems to advertise so much simply never existed. Perhaps one has to play in hard mode to get to that point? Norrmal mode is described as "the way Vampys is meant to be played", but a vampire that never felt the slightest need for blood seems not the right way to me. The other main critique is that many things in the game just don't work well. Many times a character openly tells you something, and way later in the dialogue you ask again the very same thing, or you end up "re-descovering" that same thing as a hint for the NPC, even though it was already told to you. Dr. Reid probably has bad memory. Another example is how inconsequential the Y choices in dialogues are; maybe 1% of all the choices makes a difference (i.e., gives you a hint for the NPC or not). Overall good game anyway and I am happy I played it.
