This sometimes convoluted action RPG won't be for everyone. Still, Code Vein should draw in anime fans looking for a gripping, challenging gaming experience. Souls fans should enjoy this too, assuming they're seeking combat that's a tad less stressful, wi...

Blood Codes and their distinct Gifts offer plenty of customisation and flexibility, Melee weapons connect with a satisfying crunch, Interesting level design encourages exploration
Enemies are too static and don't provide meaningful challenge, Forgettable boss fights, The environmental visual design is very samey
The music is fantastic. It's wonderfully orchestrated and it really ramps up the intensity during battle sequences. Character customization has a plethora of options that lead to some awesome results. Adding to that, people who participated in the demo ar
During cutscenes, you are able to skip them altogether, but you are unable to pause the game. Combat isn't nearly as tight as other Souls games. The game doesn't do a very good job of telling you where to go next. Sometimes, a path forward is just past a

Impressive build diversity, Dark Souls-like difficulty, Solid finale
Uninspired world, Poorly conceived NPCs, Lazy side content, Abysmal storytelling
Code Vein is occasionally charming, thanks to ridiculous build diversity, moments of true difficulty and a finale that leaves a good impression.However, the game seriously staggers due to a poorly conceived NPC system, over-the-top sexualization, effortle...
Despite building itself on well-tread ground, Code Vein definitely moves to the beat of its own drummer, but that beat can lose its rhythm when you need it to be steady. Some changes like being able to easily switch around and experiment with classes on t...
