CODE VEIN

Not perfect, but still a lot of fun. Worthwhile if you like anime and soulslikes Strengths: fascinating story; high degree of character/build customisation; high replayability

Game is great and better than the sequel. Although it has it's own flaws, I would still recommend this as this is the same as Dark Souls. Heck, it's close to Dark Souls 3. When I first played this game, it felt like Dark Souls 3, it got me hooked into it. For a game released on 2019, I can say that this is better than its sequel that was released this year, LMAO.

meh story but great visuals and art direction along with a great subversion to the usual souls-like gameplay loop and build creation. i like lots.

I really enjoy Soulslikes. I've finished quite a few of them, and I've even earned the Platinum trophy in some. Because of that, I had always wanted to play Code Vein. Being known as the "anime Soulslike," it received a lot of attention when it was released. However, the people I knew who had played it never spoke very highly of it. They didn't think it was bad, but they always said there were better games in the genre. After playing many other Soulslikes and finding Code Vein on sale on Steam, I finally decided to give it a try. The game follows the Dark Souls formula very closely, although its level design is much more linear instead of the interconnected world that makes Dark Souls so memorable. The combat is simple but well executed. It feels responsive and satisfying, making the gameplay enjoyable throughout the adventure. Code Vein tries to establish its own identity with its anime-inspired style, but I feel it doesn't go far enough. Many of the weapons, armor sets, and environments still feel fairly generic. If the developers had fully embraced the aesthetic they were aiming for, the game could have stood out much more. Unfortunately, the same applies to most of the characters. I found them rather forgettable, with very little charisma, and the story never really managed to grab my attention. By the end, I honestly didn't care much about what was happening. The level design is probably the hardest aspect to judge. Some areas are enjoyable and reasonably well designed, while others feel frustrating or uninspired. Its quality is inconsistent from beginning to end. This review is short because, honestly, Code Vein isn't a particularly deep game. It delivers exactly what it promises: an anime-style Soulslike with satisfying combat. If you enjoy the genre and can pick it up during a sale, it's definitely worth considering. Just don't expect it to reach the same heights as the best games in the genre.

ohh death become a blade once more
